Duko Power Co. Nt fication of Unusual Event Oconee 1 A1..t Sonoca, South Carolina Site Area Emergency Dockets: 50-269 General Emergency X Not Applicable Subjects STEAM GENERATOR (SG) 1A TUBE LEAK >
On December 28, 1997, Oconee Unit I was escalating in power while returning from a refueling nutage. The unit was at about 54% power when it was determined that the 1A steam generator had a potential tube leak baned upon an increasing trend on ,-team line and steam jet air ejector
~
radiation monitors. A sample indicated a leakage o.' about 400 gallons per day (gpd).
At i The licensee entered their SG tube leak procedure at 3:00 p.m.
3:07 p.m., upon confirming the 400 gpd leak rate, the licensee initiated a controlled shutdown of the unit due to exceeding the technical specification leakage limit of 150 gpd. The reactor was shut down at 4:? p.m. The licensee is continuing with plant depressurization and covidown and is in the process of planning an outage of several days to investigate and repair the steam generator. A small release of radioactivity to the atmosphere was monitored and is estimated to total 1.97 E-2 Curies, well below permissible levels.
The State of' South Carolina was notified by the NRC. i The NRC received initial notification of this event by telephone from the licensee at 3:32 p.m. (EST) on December 28, 1997.
Th:is information is current as of 10:30 a.m. (EST) on December 29, 1997.
The resident inspectors responded to the site and confirmed licensee actions.
