This eveet constf-cutes operation in a degraded mode of LCO 4.2.10.

REPORTABLE OCCL*RRENCE 81-016 ISSUE O Page 3 of 8 CAUSE DESCRIPTION:

Event 1

. The reactor power was increased from 60% to 65% at about 2230 hours0.0258 days <br />0.619 hours <br />0.00369 weeks <br />8.48515e-4 months <br /> on Febru-a ry 3, 1981. At this time, the average core outlet temperature increased from about 1235'? to about 1310*F, resulcing in oxidant out-gassing from the core graphite which peaked at about 0600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> on February 4,1981.

Event 2 No specific cause can be associated with this event.

Event 3 During the period prior to and during this event, moisture was intentionally introduced into the primary coolant during scheduled tests of the dewpoint moisture monitor response times.

Event 4 At 0828 hours0.00958 days <br />0.23 hours <br />0.00137 weeks <br />3.15054e-4 months <br /> on February 10, 1981, during scheduled testing of the plant protective system, a spurious trip of both helium circulators in Loop 1 oc-curred. Either the circulator trip or the recovery process resulted in a moisture ingress which caused the very rapid increase in primary coolant oxidants.

Event 5 No ' specific cause can be associated with this event.

Event-6

  • No specific cause can be associac2d with- this event.

. Event 7

- No specific' cause can be associated with this avent.

. Even t 8 No' specific cause can be associated with this event.

Event 9-During the period prior to and ddting this event, moisture was intentionally introduced into the primaly .ccolant during scheduled tests 'of the dewpoint moisture monitor response time.

REPORTABLE OCCL"A.RENCE 81-015 ISSUE O Page 4 of S CORRECTIVE ACTION:

The corrective action for all events of operation in a degraded mode of LCO 4.2.10 during the period was to allow the pri=ary coolant purification system to remove the primary coolant oxidants and thereby, bring them below the 10 PPMV limit of the LCO. During event #4, the reactor power level was redaced to lower average core outlet ce=perature and increase the water /

graphite reaction race.

No further corrective action is anticipated or requir?.d for the nine events contained in this report, s
