Oyster Creek Station #1 Docket No. 50-219 OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

- MAY 1979 At the beginning of the. month, the unit was operating at near full load, limited :6y
                           .

average planar linear heat generation rate limits for four (4) recirculation pump operation.,

               '

On May 2, l979, with one (1) startup transformer out of service, an inadvertant reactor high pressure scram occurred while performing surveillance testing on reactor high pressure isolation condenser initiation sensors. Following the trip, all recirculating pump discharge valves were closed (the 2 inch bypass valves remained open), resulting in a triple low water level above the reactor core for 36 minutes. The reactor was placed in the colo shutdown condition pending NRC approval for restart. . . During tu transient, reactor water level reduced to approximately 12-18 inches abcve the ' top of the active fuel, as determined by subsequent calculations. Adequate cooling remained available at all times. In order to prevent reccurrence, changes to the safety limits in the Technical Specifications were submitted and are now being complied with. Procedure changes m 9e Scorco ated ir,to emergency ar.d operating procedures. On Mcy 24, 1979, permission was granted by the NRC to place the reactor mode switch to "startup" and begin a testing program to verify that no core damage occurred. On May 30, following a presentation to the NRC commissioners on the May 2 transient, permission to start up was grantied try the NPC. A detailed report of this event is included in a letter to the NRC, dated May 12, 1979, f rom Mr. I. R. Finf rock, Jr. A reactor startup commenced on May 31, 1979, and was terminated by a reactor high ne w sr fiux scram in IRM Range 9. A second startup attempt was terminated by a reactor low level scram following a turbine trip while warming the turbine. At the ena of this report period, the unit remained shut down. Six (6) reportable occurrences were identified during the report period: RO #79-14 occurred on May 2 when closure of all recirculating pump discharge valves

           .

resulted in water level below 4 ft. 8 in, above the active fuel. R0 #79-15 h occurred on May 2 when two recirculation pumps were started with the idle loop temperatures more than 50 F. lower than reactor water temperature in order to-terminate the triple low water level transient.

                                                                                          .-

R0 #79-16 occurred on May 6 when a "B" isolation condenser line break sensor tripped at 29 inches of water vs. a Technical Specification limit of 27 inches of water differential pressure. RO #79-17 occurred on May 17 when core spray isolation valve V-20-21 failed to reclose during surveillance testing. R0 H9-18 was identified on May 18 when an inoperable hydraulic shock and sway arrestor was found on Core Spray System II. RO r79-19 occurred on May 26 when one isolation condenser reactor high pressure initiation switch was f ound to trip at 1071 psi vs. the Technical Specification limit of 1053 psi.

                                                                                                                  }}Q %

Docket No'. 50-219 OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

- MAY 1979 5/1/79  Performed notch friction testing on CRD 22-43.

Discovered salt water leaking into pipe tunnel.

       "D" recirc flow transmitter out of service.
       #1 air compressor out of service - returned.

5/2/79 Bank 6 out of service to check for replacemert cable. While verifying that e3 cess flow check valve V-130-1 was open at the completion of isolation condenser high reactor pressure initiation surveillance, a reactor high pressure scram occurred, caused by hydraulic disturbance in the high pressure sensing line. All four (4) operating recirc pumps tripped from the RPT circuit. With Bank 6 out of service, "B" and "C" feedwater pumps tripped. The "A" feedwater pump tripped, apparently from low suction pressure, and could not be restarted. (The "A" feedpump auxiliary oil pump breaker overloads were subsequently found tripped.) The main steam isolation ' valves were manually closed, with the Yarway level indicating approximately 30 inches. The "B" isolation condenser was manually placed in service and the "A" and "E" recirc discharge valves were manually closed by the operator per existing standing orders. Apparently, the "B" and "C" recirc discharge valves were also closed at this time, limiting natural circulation to the five (5) open 2 inch re. circ bypass lines. Reactor water level inside the shroud decreased, causing low low low water level alarms (verified by observation of the Barton indicaters), while the anulus water level remained above the low low level setpoint. RO #79-14. Both isolation condensers were operated intermittently to control reactor cooldown. At approximately 30 minutes following the scram, it was recognized that all five recirc discharge valves were closed (with bypasses open). The "C" recire pump was started and then tripped when the Yarways indicated decreasing water level. When the "C" recirc pump was started, the loop temperature was 72 F. lower than the reactor coolant. RO #79-15. The "A" feedwater pump was started approximately 37 minutes after the scram by manually starting the auxiliary oil pump. The "A" recirc pump was started 39 minutes after the scram, terminating the transient. , A detailed report of this event is included in a letter to the NRC, dated May 12, 1979, from Mr. I. R. Finfrock, Jr. The reactor was placed in cold shutdown at 10:28 p.m. pending evaluation of the event. Bank 6 returned to service. 22% JU Vented CRD 22-43. _2

3:38 p.m. reactor critical.

Conducted fire drill with participation of Lacey Township Fire Department. 6:26 p.m. reactor scram from low water level - when turbine warmup was commenced, the turbine tripped from reactor high water level. The turbine control configuration used for warmup caused the bypass valves to open to 75% when the turbine tripped. The main steam valves were closed manually at 6:29 p.m. A reactor scram from low water level cccurred. The operator attempted to add feedwater through "C" feedpump by opening the "C" H.P. heater outlet valve and manually opening.the "C" feedwater control valve. The "C" feedwater pump tripped once on low suction pressure and again on motor overcurrent. The overcurrent trip was attributed to normal relay action in response to an immediate start signal following a trip. The "C" feedwater pump was successfully started at 6:31 p.m. and reactor level recovered. The high level turbine trip was attributed to a combination of sticking Yarway level indication in the Control Room and an initial high reactor water level when #2 stop valve bypass was opened. The unit remained shut down to calibrate and repair the Control Room Yarway level indicators. During the shutdown beginning on May 2, the following maintenance and modifications were performed: , Maintenance:

1. Cleaned "A" feedwater pump motor.

Repaired leak, "C" feedwater pump seal water line.

                                                                             -
