~ Report Date: May 15', 1974 Occurrence Date: I?ay 5,1974 Facility:

Browns Ferry ITuclear Plant unit 1 Identification of Occurrence HPCI system failed to deliver water to the reactor when initiated on low water level following a reactor scram.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence Startup testing affecting the feedvater system was being conducted. The testing caused feedwater system fluctuations and low reactor water level with a consequent scram. The unit was operating at approximately 92-percent power at the time of scran.

Description of Occurrence The HPCI system was initiated by low water level following a scram at 8:43 a.=. on

'May 5,1974. The system atte=pted to start but tripped off.

It was placed on manual control and was started.

It was utilized satisfactorily in the manual mode to assist in regulating vessel water level. Vnen no longer needed for service, it was shut down.

  • Fonowing shutdown, it was noticed that the inverter power supply fuse alarm was annunciated. The system was declared inoperable at 10:55 a.m.

Designation of Atmarent Cause of Occurrence An investigation was conducted to determine the cause of the IECI trip. No absolute cause was determined. One possibility was an overspeed trip of the machine; however, overspeeding could not be confirmed.

Analysis of Occurrence During the brief interval between the HPCI trip and manual actuation and the period involving the failed fuse, all remaining safety systems were available.

Vessel water level was controlled at all times by other systems, and there were l

no adverse consequences experienced.

Corrective Action l

The inverter power supply was checked and nothing was found amiss. The output 1 cads from the power supply were lifted, and the circuit was checked for grounds l

or shorted conditions with all results satisfactory. The leads were connected and a new fuse satisfactorily installed.

The power supply reacted satisfactorily to checks; and the system was declared operabic at 12:20 p.m. on May 5, 1974.

.The power supply will be instru=ented in order to further determine the cause of the fuse failure.
