August 1,1991 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555 On 31 July 1991 at 1:00 P.M. there was a Reportable Occurrence (Technical Specification 1.Q,4, .... safety system component failure....) at the RPI Reactor Critical Facility. (:ontrol rod 7 withdrew beyond the upper lattice plate and failed therefore to insert ,jpon scram. This control rod withdrew too far because of a failure of the Rod Out [mit switch to operate at the correct height of control rod withdrawal. This occurred )ccause of improper alignment of the control rod position indicator and limit swi'th drive train. The problem was corrected by realigning the drive train.
The othr control rod drive and indicator systems were immediately checked and ,
found to be satisfactory. There was no damage to equipment or people.
T. 'tragoun, Region 1, and T. Michaels, NRC 11Q, were notified within an hour afte the occurrence; this satisfied Tech. Spec. 6.5.2.a. In a return call at 3:00 P.M. of t same day T. Dragoun communicated the NRC permission to resume operation 4and this was done.
