, g y the locking and full nuts on the floating head had loosened due to thermal cycling and vibration.
There were no tube leaks. The exchanger was reassembled and tested per 21-49.
A determination of recurrence control measures to be taken is being g
made.

test TI-36A.
Conditions" Prior to Occurrence:
Unit 10 92% steady state power Unit 2 in routine shut-down condition Unit' 3 0100% steady state power 9
Action specified in the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements met due to inoperable equipment. Describe.
B & D RHR loops were operable Apparent Cauce of Occurrence:
Nuts had loosened d~ue to thermal cycling and vibration.
Analysis of Occurrence:
No danger to health or safety of.the public, no significant resulting chain of events, no damage to plant or equipment,'and no release of activity.
 
==Corrective Action==
Heat exchanger was reassembled and tested per MMI-49.
Recurrence control is being determined by Engineering Design and Outage Management Group.
