ATTACHMENT 1 SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT No. 2 DOCKET NO: 50-281 REPORT NO: 81-022/03L-0 EVENT DATE: 05-14-81 TITLE OF EVENT: HEAT TRACING FAILURE

~

1. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:

With Unit No. 2 at 100% power, PT-27C revealed that the amp reading for heat tracing Panel 9, circuit 20C (".C" BAST recirc. line), was below the acceptance criteria stipulated in the PT. This event is contrary to Technical Specification 3.2.B.5, and is reportable per Technical Specification 6.6.2.b(2).

2. PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES and STATUS of REDUNDANT EQUIPMENT:

The heat tracing circuits are intended to maintain a fluid temperature above that needed for flow. The redundant heat tracing.circuit was operable, therefore, the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3. CAUSE:

The loss o:1; heat tracing was due to excessive heat.

4. U1MEDIATK CORRECTIVE ACTION:

The irrnnediate corrective action was to verify that the redundant circuit was operable.

5. SUBSEQUENT CORRECTIVE ACTION:

The defective heat tracing tape- was** replaced and tested within the time span specified by Technical Specifications.

6. ACTION TAKEN TO PREVENT RECURRENCE:

No additional actions were deemed necessary.

7. GENERIC IMPLICATIONS:

A task force has reviewed the total spectrum of the Heat Tracing system and a Design Change is being prepared as a result of the Task Force's study.

Long lead items are being procured.
