Subject:

LER 1998-003, Revision 2, Actuations of Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System Due to Invalid Causes R.ED Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No.50-244

Dear Mr.Vissing:

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.73, Licensee Event Report System, item (a)(2)(iv), which requires a report of,"any event or condition that resulted in manual or automatic actuation of any Engineered Safety Feature (ESF), including the Reactor Protection System (RPS)", the attached Licensee Event Report LER 1998-003 (Revision 2)is hereby submitted.

It has been determined that there were various degraded components in the Control Room Radiation Monitoring system.These degraded components resulted in electronic spikes in the readings on the monitors.The higher concentrations of Radon and Radon decay products caused the margin to the trip setpoint to be reduced.Thus, in the presence of elevated Radon levels, the electronic spikes caused a setpoint to be exceeded.When elevated Radon levels were not present, larger spikes also caused a setpoint to be exceeded.The degraded components, resulting in electronic spikes, were the root cause of the Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System (CREATS)actuations.

All CREATS actuations, including those originally believed to be valid actuations, were, in fact, invalid actuations.
