(Attachment, page 1 of 1) e e Surry Power Station, Unit 1 Docket No: 50-280 Report No: 78-046/03L-0 Event Date: 12-11-78 Title of Report: Low Current on Heat Tracing

1. Description of Event:

With the unit in normal operation at rated power, routine surveillance found that heat tracing circuit 2:SA (panel 2) was operating at less than the current* specified in the surveillance document. No low temperature alarms were indicated.

Investigation for faulty heat tracing tape was initiated. Faults were found on circuit 25A (panel 2) Unit 1 boron injection tank recirculation re-turn to boric acid tank, and were identified as being the result of boric acid attack on the tape.

The tape was replaced and circuit current verified to be within specs of the surveillance document.

This is a degraded mode of operation permitted by T.S. 3.3.B.5 *and is r~portable in accordance with Technical Specif1cation 6.6.2.b.(2).

2. Probable Consequences and Status of Redundant Systems:

At all times during the event, the temperature of the affected line was maintained as required. The redundant circuit was operable. There was at all times two operable flow paths for boric'acid to the reactor. Therefore, the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3. Cause:

The reduced currents were due to boric acid damage to the heat tracing tape on the affected circuit.

4. Immediate Corrective Action:

The heat tracing tape was replaced.

5. Scheduled Corrective Action:

The problem was corrected immediately and no further action is required.

6. Action Taken to Prevent Recurrence:

Continuous surveillance is maintained on _the Heat Tracing System. No additional action is considered necessary.

7. Generic Implicaticns:

This failure~ as with .others in the system, is considered random since no specified circuit has exhibited repeated failure.
