3/5/80 Evening Shift until 3/7/80 Day Shift - Unit 1 Identification and Description of Occurrence:

Operations personnel, in reviewing Technical Specifications, determined a the plant had not performed SI-65 (which fulfills 3.9.2 and 3.9.5) during Core Alterations.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Unit 1 in Mode 6 following initial core loading. Upper internals installed and RCCA drag testing in progress.

Action specified in the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements met due to inoperable equiptent. Describe.

N/A Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

l Misinterpretation of Technical Specification requirements.

l Analysis of Occurrence:

There was no hazard to the public health or safety.

Corrective Action:

SI-65, which satisfies Surveillance Requirements 4.9.2.a and 4.9.5, was immediately initiated.

Failure Data:
