NRC SPECIAL REPORT-On December'8, 1992 Channel 7 of the St.Lucie Unit 2 Loose Parts.Monitor (LPM)was declared out of service due to excessive electrical noise being received at the preamplifier

.As required by Technical Specification (TS)3.3.3.8 this Special Report is being submitted to notify the NRC that the channel has been out of service greater than 30 days.The cause of this failure has not yet been determined because not all areas of the system are accessible during power operations.

All accessible areas of the system have been investigated.

Efforts are continuing to identify the source of the electrical noise and the mechanism for induction into the Loose Parts Monitoring System.The LPM system had undergone a complete channel calibration per TS 4.3.3.8.c'during, the 1992 refueling outage.At the next available opportunity troubleshooting efforts will resume on the areas of the system not accessible while at power.1 Channel 7 and 8 of the Loose Parts Monitor are located on the 2B Steam Generator, therefore Channel 8 is still available for alaim functions on the 2B steam generator.
