| MODE CHANGE INITIATED AS PART OF A TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION REQUIRED |
| SHUTDOWN |
| |
| "At 1810 hours on 7-5-99, with Surry Power Station Unit 2 at Hot Shutdown |
| (HSD) following a reactor trip, the 'A' Cold Leg Loop Stop Valve (Mark |
| number 2-RC-MOV-2591) was removed from it's backseat in accordance with |
| station procedure 2-GOP-2.4. Upon reopening the valve, full open indication |
| was not received. In accordance with Technical Specification 3.17.1 and |
| 3.0.1, a 30 hour clock to Cold Shutdown (CSD) LCO was started. The valve was |
| de-energized by opening it's breaker. A cooldown to CSD was initiated at |
| 2050 on 7-5-99. At 0204 on 7-6-99, a review of Station procedures and |
| 10CFR50.72 determined that a one hour report was required for commencing the |
| RCS cooldown in accordance with the Technical Specification LCO. |
| |
| "There were no radiation releases due to this event, nor were there any |
| personnel injuries or contamination events. |
| |
| "Unit 2 is currently at Intermediate Shutdown with RCS cooldown in progress |
| in accordance with station procedures. |
| |
| "Unit 1 was not affected by this event and remains stable at 100% power and |
| 824 MWe. |
| |
| "This event is being reported in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(1)(i)(A)." |
| |
| The Licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. |

| DEGRADED/UNANALYZED CONDITION |
| |
| During a Unit 1 forced outage, the licensee determined that the 'C' outboard |
| Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) was unable to fully close. Based on the |
| as-found valve configuration, it is believed that the MSIV volume would not |
| reach required test pressure, therefore actual leak rate testing was not |
| performed. This report documents exceeding overall MSIV maximum pathway |
| acceptance criteria of 300 scfh. |
| |
| The licensee determined that the valve disc had separated from the stem. |
| |
| See Event 35884 for further information. |
| |
| The licensee has notified the NRC resident inspector. |

EVENT TEXT
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REACTOR TRIP DUE TO LOSS OF MAIN FEEDWATER |
| |
| The unit automatically tripped due to the loss of all main feedwater flow |
| after the main feedwater pump tripped on low suction pressure. All control |
| rods inserted following the trip. Emergency feedwater actuated as |
| expected. |
| |
| The licensee reported that two main steam relief valves remained open |
| following the trip, but reclosed after steam generator pressure was reduced |
| to 920 psig. The unit is currently stable in Hot Standby, with steam |
| generator levels being maintained by the motor driven emergency feedwater |
| pumps, and decay heat being relieved to the main condenser via the turbine |
| bypass valves. |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this event by the licensee. |
