DATE OF EVENT: June 23, 1979 I

FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATIO.i 0F OCCURRENCE: Containment Post-Accident Radiation Monitor RE 5029 .

was inoperabic  !

Conditions Prior to Occurrence. The unit was in Mode 5, with Power (>Rif) = 0, and Load (Gross BNE) = 0.

Description of occurrence: During performance of Surveillance Test ST 5032.01,

" Monthly Functional Test of the Radiation Monitors", on June 23, 1979, it was no-ticed that Containment Post-Accident Radiation Monitor RE 5029 had a low flow alarm.

Investigation showed that the belt and pump sheave had come of f. RE 5029 was de-clared inoperable at 0515 hours0.00596 days <br />0.143 hours <br />8.515212e-4 weeks <br />1.959575e-4 months <br /> on June 23, 1979.

Technical Specification 3.3.3.1 requires the operability of one radiation monitoring channel in Modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. Technical Specification 3.4.6.1 requires he opera -

bility of containment annosphere particulate and gaseous radioactivity monitoring g in Mudco 1, 2, 3, and 4. Since the unit was in Mode 5 at the time of the accurrence. 4 neither or the Action Statements of these Technical Specifications was. applicable.

This report is,bging scbmitted as documentation of incorrect mair.tenance.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The cause of the occurrence could have been due to insufficient set screw tightening during maintenance. The sheave set screws loosened, causing the sheave and belt to come off.

s Analysis of Occurrence- There was no danger to the health and sa fety of the public or to station personnel. The other containment post-accident radiation monitor, RE 5030, was operabic during the period that RE 5029 was inoperable. The unit was in hade 5 at the time of the occurrence.

,Correc tive Act ion: On June 23, 1979, under Maintenance Work Order (BGO) 79-2377, b..intenance personnel replaced the pump sheave, tightened the set screws, and re-installed the belt. There has been an annual preventive naintenance work order initiated to check belt condition, tightness, and set screw tightness. The bi-monthly pump replacement preventive MWO has been revised to include a step to ensure the sheave set screws are tight.

Failure Data: Although thore have been failures of the radiation monitors, there have been no failures caused by loosening of set screws.
