LER NO. 79-46/3L DOCKET NO. 50-318 EVENT DATE 12/14/79 REPORT DATE 01/10/80 ATTACHMENT CAUSE DESCRIPTION AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: (CONTINUED)

Electrical noise sustained on the RAD chassis apparently caused the counter circuit malfunction. Ground straps were checked and an additional grounding strap installed to reduce the noise level, for which no cause has been determined. There has been no recurrence of the problem and no further preventive action is being taken.
