ATTACHMENT

• SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 2 DOCKET NO: 50-281 REPORT NO: 8l-031/03L-O EVENT DATE: 05-08-81 TITLE OF EVENT: HEAT TRACING FAILURE

1. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:

With Unit No. 2 at 100% power, PT-27C revealed that the amp reading for heat tracing Panel 11, circuit 18 (BIT Outlet Valve, MOV-2867D), was below the acceptance criteria stipulated in the PT. This event is contrary to Technical Specification 3.3.A.4, and is reportable per Technical Specification 6.6.2.b(2).

2. PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES and STATUS of REDUNDANT EQUIPMENT:

The heat tracing circuits are intended to maintain a fluid temperature above that needed for flow. The redundant heat tracing circuit was operable, there-fore, the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3. CAUSE:

The loss of heat tracing was du~to mechanical ~amage to the tape. Personnel from various crafts had been working .in the nearby area.

4. IMMEDIATE CORRECT I VE ACT ION:

The immediate corrective action was to verify that the redundant circuit was opera9le.

5. SUBSEQUEST CORRECTIVE ACTION:

The defective heat tracing tape was replaced and tested within the time span specified by Technical Specifications.

6. ACTION TAKEN to PREVENT RECURRENCE:

No additional actions:were deemed necessary.

7. GENERIC IMPLICATIONS:

A task force has reviewed the total spectrum of the Heat Tracing *system and a Design Change is being prepared as a result of the Task Force's study. Long lead ttems are being procured.
