TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-79-101 DATE OF EVENT: July 31, 1979 FAC1Lii Y: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Loss of Group 6 out limit Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 1, with Power (MWT) = 2680 and Load (Gross MWE) = 880 Description of Occurrence: On July 31,1979 at 0110 hours0.00127 days <br />0.0306 hours <br />1.818783e-4 weeks <br />4.1855e-5 months <br /> and at 0140 hours0.00162 days <br />0.0389 hours <br />2.314815e-4 weeks <br />5.327e-5 months <br /> while performing PT 5193.01, " Main Turbine Steam Valve Tests", operations personnel re-ceived a Control Rod Drive Sequence Fault. In both instances, they noticed that Group 6 had moved off of its out limit to approximately 95%. This placed the unic in the Action Statement (a) of Technical Specification 3.1.3.6. This Tec.hnical Speci-fication requires Group 6 to be within the insertion limits during Modes 1 and 2.

Action Statement (a) instructs the unit to restore the rod (s) to within the insertion limit within two hours.

In each case, operators t=nediately pulled Group 6 back to its out limit which re-moved the unit from the Action Statement (a) of Technical Specification 3.1.3.6.

PT 5193.01 was suspended until the problem could be resolved.

Designation of Annarent Cause of Occurrence: The cause of this occurrence is attri-buted to a faulty integrated circuit (IC 2) on a logic cate module in the auxiliary power supply of the command locic string.

Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to station personnel. The Group 6 rod motion was minimal and no noticeabla reacti-vity or core power distribution ef fects occurred.

Corrective Action: Instrument an:1 Control personnel were called in and the IC was replaced and proper operation verified under work request IC-055-014-79. FT 5193.01 was successfully completed on July 31, 1979. The unit had been removed from the Action Statement of Technical Specification 3.1.3.6 i==ediately af ter the occurrence when operations personnel pulled Group 6 back to its out limit.

Failure Data: fhere have been no previously reported similar events.
