OF LICENSEE EVENT REPORT 78-08/1T
'n' hen the Main Steam Line Break Analysis was originally performed, the B&W recc== ended operating procedure required a 30" vater levs1 in the CTSG's at low power levels. As B&W gained operating experience, flood-ing of the feedvater nozzles at low power levels was recce= ended to prevent thermal shocking of the nozzles.
'IMI-1 has been following the latter B&W recoc= ended operating procedure and operates with the second-ary side feedvater nozzles submerged when belov 5% full power in order to avoid kng-term feedvater nozzle ther=al degradation.
Operation vith feedvater nozzles submerged, when below 5% full power was apparent,
ly not considered for the Steam Line Break Analysis and is therefore reportable per section 6.9.2.A(9).
Since these conditions occur during startup and shutdown, which constitutes a small percentage of total operating time, the probability of a steam line. break occurring during startup or shutdown is significantly less than the probebility of a steam line break occurring as analyzed.
Preliminary Met-Ed analysis indicates that should a main steam line break occur during operation belev 5", full power with OTSG nozzles flooded, no return to criticality vill occur following reactor trip. However, the TMI-1 shutdown and cooldovn procedures have been changed to prevent opera-tion below 5". full power vitb the OTSG nozzles flooded. Met-Ed is atte=pting to verify the above preli=inary evaluation, and to obtain B&W's concurrence with Met-Ed's analysis.
