ATTACIDIENT TO LICENSEE EVENT REPORT 79-02/0lT-0 COFC10NWEALTil EDISON COMPANY (CNE)

i

, With the unit operating at steady load,- the HPCI turbine failed to start i during performance of quarterly flow test surveillance DOS 2300-3. When i the motor speed changer was run from the low speed step to the high speed stop, the turbine control valves did not open. As a result the HPCI system I was declared inoperabic and the required ECCS surveillances (T.S. 3.5.C.2) com-

. menced. At 1430 the HPCI surveillance was performed again and the HPCI turbine

started on the second attempt. Six consecutive turbine startups vere per-

'

formed and the surveillance successfully completed. The HPCI system was declared operable. This event has minimal safety significance since the

.

'

required ECCS surveillances with the exception of auto blowdown were completed.

The auto blowdown surveillance was terminated when HPCI was declared operable.

On 1/4/79 at 1100 the HPCI turbine was operated with the General Electric

{

Technical representative present. He noted that the pir. on the motor speed changer linkage which actuates the interlock dump valve when the

--

motor speed changer is on the low speed stop was not fully depressing the interlock dump valve operating lever. The purpose of the interlock dump valve is to prevent the control valves from opening during system startup with the turbine reset and the motor speed changer not on the low speed stop.

l The interlock dump valve actuating lever was adjusted to provide full .

engagement and HPCI pump and valve operability surveillance DOS 2300-1 successfully performed at 1400. No further action is planned.
