Date of Occurrence 5/8/81 Time of Occurrence 1550 Unit 1, 2, and 3 Identification and Description of Occurrence:
Power (120V AC preferred) lifted to fire pump auto-initiation. The exact duration the circuit had been inoperable could not be determined. However, it is probable that the wiring was removed during the modification activity, making the duration 2 weeks ur less.
Conditions Prior to Occurrence:
Unit 1 refueling outage.
Unit 2 at 99%.
Unit 3 at 100%.
Action specified in the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements met due to inoperable equipment. Describe.
Reterminated power supply.
Apparent Cause of Occurrence:
Wiring was removed from terminal points in main relay panel 52 resulting in the interruption of power to the fire pump auto-start circuit. Although it could not definitely be determined how the wiring was removed, it is suspected that the wires were removed during performance of a molification in tne panel.
Analysis of Occurrence:
There was no danger to the health or safety of the public, no release of activity, no damage to the plant or equipment, and n) resulting significant chain of events.
