PRELIMINARY NOTIFICATION OF EVENT OR UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE A 0 Y N This preliminary notification constitutes EARLY notice of events of POSSIBLE safety or public interest significance. This information is as initially received without verification or evaluation, and is basically all that is known by the Region II staff on this date.
FACILITY: Licensee Emergency Classification:
Carolina Power & Light comoany Notification of Unusual Event Brunswick Unit 2 Alert Docket No. 50-324 Site Area Emergency Southport, North Carolina General Emergency X Not Applicable
SUBJECT:
REGION II DISPATCHES AUGMENTED INSPECTION TEAM (AIT) TO BRUNSWICK Following consultation with the' 0ffice of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and the Office of Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data ( AEOD), Region II is dispatching an Augmented Inspection Team to Carolina Power and Light Company's Brunswick nuclear power plant, located near Southport, North Carolina, to make an in-depth determination of why primary containment isolation valves for the Unit 2 drywell equipment drains and drywell floor drains failed to automatically close after receipt of valid Group 2 isolation signal on January 2, 1988.
A manual scram had oeen initiated at 12 : 17 a . m . (EST) on January 2, when condenser vacuum reached 22" Hg (decreasing) during an planned shutdown for a refueling outage. Subsequently, a valid low level 1 signal (vessel level (162.5 inches) caused the group 2, 6 and 8 isolation signals. A total of four valves in both divisions failed to close as designed.
The two floor drains were subsequently closed from the cortrol room, but the eouioment drain vaives did not close. One equipment crain valve was found closed approximately 5 minutes after the event, and the other at approximately 10 minutes after tha event. During this time, the auto close signal for the valve was sealed in.
The licensee cycled all four valves successfully later that morning when the drains had to be pumped. A licensee team has been investigating the event, but thus far no definitive cause has been found.
The NRC senior resident inspector responded to the site on January 3 and
, $ continues to monitor the licensee's activities, augmented by regional staff.
O Q.
Unit 2 will be in a scheduled refueling and maintenance outage until April, o 1988.
