EXl'ECTEO SUBMISSION OA TEI DATE 1151 I I On January 20, 1989, during the course of the Specification Surveillance audit project, it was discovered that Technical Specification Surveillance Table 4.3-1 No. 20, "Reactor Coolant Pump Breaker Position Trip" has not been performed as required.

The surveillance requires functional testing of the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) (AB} breaker position trip every refueling (every 18 months). This requirement is identical in both, Salem Unit 1 and Salem Unit 2. The apparent cause of this event has been attributed to inadequate administrative controls of the Technical Specification surveillance testing program when the program was first initiated.

A procedure, "Reactor Coolant Pump Status Indication Test" has been issued for both Salem Units. The MMIS (Managed Maintenance Information System), a computerized work tracking system, has been updated to include a recurring task which will ensure the completion of the surveillance within the required time frame. PSE&G System Engineering will complete an Engineering Evaluation addressing the missed surveillance.

{every 18 months). This requirement is identical in both, Salem Unit 1 and Salem Unit 2. APP_h-_BENT CAUS_E OF OCCURR:l;:_I:li_:E:

The apparent cause of this event has been attributed to inadequate administrative controls of the Technical Specification surveillance testing program when the program was first initiated.

ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:

1* -***.** .. *.*.-***:**

.* *: The Reactor Coolant Pump {RCP) breaker position trip is functionally tested by using the control room overhead and status panel indications.

The surveillance is done to ensure continued reliable operation.

Upon identification of the potential of not having completed the surveillance, a review was initiated to determine if the surveillance requirement was met within the last 18 months for both Salem Units. The initial Unit 1 review did not identify if the surveillance was met. Therefore, at 1135 hours0.0131 days <br />0.315 hours <br />0.00188 weeks <br />4.318675e-4 months <br /> on January 20, 1989 Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 was entered since Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 Table 3.3-1 Action Statement 10 did not apply . .... ,_ ..... ,. ....

__ Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 Table 3.3-1 Action Statement 10 states: "With one channel inoperable, restore the inoperable channel to OPERABLE status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or reduce THERMAL POWER to below P-8 within the next 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Operation below P-8 may continue pursuant to ACTION 11." Technical Specification Action Statement

3.0.3 states

"When a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met except as provided in the associated ACTION requirements, within one hour action shall be initiated to place the unit in a MODE in which the specification does not apply by placing it, as applicable, in: 1. At least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, 2. At least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and 3. At least COLD SHUTDOWN within the subsequent 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Where corrective measures are completed that permit operation the ACTION requirements, the ACTION may be taken in accordance with the specified time limits as from the time of failure to meet the Limiting Condition of Operation.

Exceptions to these-requirements are stated in the individual specifications." Completion of the Unit 1 shutdown was not required.

Subsequent review revealed the surveillance was satisfied by conduction of Maintenance Department procedure lIC-2.6.024, "lPT-505 First Stage Turbine Impulse Pressure -Channel I". This procedure requires that the reactor protection status panel lights for all reactor trips are off .. If they are not off, a comment is made in the procedure.

This procedure.

was last completed on January 12, 1988. The "RCP Breaker Open" lights were identified as being on. When the unit was returned to power, subsequent use of this procedure (done monthly) indicated the lights were off thereby indicating proper response of the open/close positioning of the RCP breakers.

Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 was exited at 1455 hours0.0168 days <br />0.404 hours <br />0.00241 weeks <br />5.536275e-4 months <br /> the same day. The Salem Unit 2 review revealed that the surveillance was satisfied as indicated in Operator Log entries and Sequence of Event computer printouts which show the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) [JGl received the appropriate change of state inputs for the RCP breaker. Although, it has been shown that the surveillance has been completed within the last eighteen months, it has not been determined if the surveillance requirement has been met historically for either Salem unit. Therefore, this event is reportable in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations lOCFR 50.73(a) (2) (i) (B). CORRECTIVE ACTION: A procedure, "Reactor Coolant Pump Status Indication Test", addressing the functional surveillance requirement, has been issued for both ..
