Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 SUBJECT Dyron Unit 2, ECCS Actuation Report i.

Dear Mr. Davist L

This letter is submitted to document the circumstances of a recent Emergency Core. Cooling System (ECCS) actuation at Byron Station Unit 2.

r On January 10, 1990,'Dyron Unit 2 experienced an unanticipated ECCS actuation during testing' activities. The actuation was initiated by a 2 of 3 channel I

L coincidence of low steam line pressure due to one channel in test and a second

{

channel spiking low.

At no time did conditions in the plant exist.which would t

require mitigation by the ECCS. At the time of the event, the unit was in Mode 1, Power Operation, at 99% reactor power. The attached report, LER

[

90-001,' describes the circumstances of the ECCS actuation in detail.

l To dat.e, Byron Unit 2 has experienced four (4) unplenned injections by the ECCS.

..In this occurrence, it is estimated that 3150 gallons of borated water were injected into the. Reactor Coolant System through the cold leg injection flowpath of the Charging / Safety injection Pumps. Given a design parameter of 110 actuation cycles for life-of-plant, Dyron Unit 2 is well below the y

report.able nozzle usage factor of 0.70.

This report is submitted in accordance with Technical Specifications 6.9.2 and j

3.5.2.
