EVENT DESCRIPTION (continued) found to cause :a oypass of the RBM system. Withdrawal of control rods B-7 and B-8 was suspended and an investigation was initiated.

The safety significance of this event was minimal because the RBM backs up p~ocedural rod selections. Although the Tech Specs require the RBM to be

  • operab 1e above 30% power, the Tech Spec bases indicate that the RBM function is not necessary below 70% power. The significance was further mitigated by the core location of B-7 and B~8, since both control rods are located one position i~side the core periphery. This is not a repetitive occurrence.

(50-249/1977-9)

CAUSE DESCRIPTION (continued) operation was verif1ed before further withdrawals of control rods B-7 and B-8 were performed. All other interior control rods have been successfu(ly checked for similar problems. This is the first rep0,r_ted failure of any of these diodes. No further corrective action was deem~d~)warranted. The Rod Block Monitoring system. was supplied by the General Electric Company.
