Claric I.. timier na hein mauaie inuuin k hermit Vnc heuJcM hit 1(escarsh llw l'ennn h an.a Ataic t hemt) and 1 Adn til Dw (it.wluele k hail l'titwiut)Id. I'\ IWC July 29,1991 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555 Re: Tech Spec Violttion License R 2, Docket No.50-005
Dear Sir or Madame:
During reactor operation at 1 KW on July 22,1991 at 1340 hours0.0155 days <br />0.372 hours <br />0.00222 weeks <br />5.0987e-4 months <br />, the f acility exhaust system failed (the system is comprised of two separate fans, one of which is normally on). Section 3.5 of the Penn State Breazeale Reactor technical specifications (t.s.) requires the operation of the f acility exhaust system as a limiting condition for operation. This failure is a reportable occurrence under section 1.1.33.b of the facility's t.s.
The cause of this f ailure was breakdown of the insulation on the wiring that supplies power f rom the consolo exhaust system control switches to the system relay panel. A workman running wiring for a computer system disturbed existing wiring causing a short and exhaust sytem failure (fan stopped and louvers closed). This f ailure would not have prevented the emergency exhaust system (a separate system) from operating if required.
This f ailure occurred during a 15 minute reactor run; the workman running the wire reported socing an arc in the cable tray and by the time the reactor staff's investigation revealed the failure of the facility exhaust system the reactor was shutdown. The staff assured the operability of the west fan (this f an had not been on during the f ailure of the east f an) and resumed operations. The east fan wiring was repaired the next day.
Pending NRC approval, installation of a new reactor control system will occur during 1991. Failure of a facility exhaust fan will lead to a reactor scram with the new control system. Also, all existing wiring for the facility exhaust system will be replaced.
NRC Region I was notified on July 22,1991 by phone contact with Mr. Ebe McCabe, the duty officer, and by a fax sent to Region 1 July 23,1991.
Sincerely, ,
d[QY l Dr. Charles L. Hosier, Jr.
