, DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-81-75 1l DATE OF EVENT: October 12 and 13, and November 3, 1981 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Pump for Post-Accident Containment Radiation Monitor RE 5029 was found to be off on October 12, 1981 and October 13, 1981. Pump for Post-Accident Containment Radiation Monitor RE 5030 was found off on October 13 1l and November 3, 1981.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 1 with Power (MWT) = 2772 and Load (Gross MWE) = 915.

Description of Occurrence: On October 12, 1981 while the operator was checking the Victorcen panel, it was discovered that the pump for RE 5029 was not running. The operator restarted the pump. Further checking showed the computer alarm for low flow had come in at 0812 hours0.0094 days <br />0.226 hours <br />0.00134 weeks <br />3.08966e-4 months <br />, showing that the pump had tripped on low flow.

On October 13, 1981, RE 5030 pump was found off at 1700 hours0.0197 days <br />0.472 hours <br />0.00281 weeks <br />6.4685e-4 months <br />. The pump was restarted.

At 1830 hours0.0212 days <br />0.508 hours <br />0.00303 weeks <br />6.96315e-4 months <br /> on the same date, the RE 5029 pump was again discovered to be tripped.

The pump was restarted.

y On November 3, 1981, the RE 5030 pump was found off at 1400 hours0.0162 days <br />0.389 hours <br />0.00231 weeks <br />5.327e-4 months <br />. The pump was re-started and the flow settled out at 4.5 cfm.

These occurrences are being reported under Technical Specification 3.3.3.6, Table 3.3-10 which requires that two post-accident containment radiation monitors be operable at all times.

Designation of Apparint Cause of Occurrence: The cause of this occurrence was due to component failure. The flow was discovered to be at approximately 3 scfm which is the trip point for low flow. Flow tends to be reduced through a radiation monitor with tico. This can be attributed to pump vane wear and vibration of the flow con-trol valves.

I Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or station personnel. A redundant system was always operable. There was no buildup of activity in containment during the time frame and no release into the environment.

t Corrective Action: Flow was increased to 4.5 and 5 scfm. A step was added to Main-tenance Work Order IC-MWO-4W2 to check and set flows weekly until the REs are replaced

.with a new design narrow and wide range containment radiation monitoring system under Facility Change Request 80-050.
