Salem Generating Station, Unit 2 Public Service Electric & Gas Company Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey 08038 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:

Containment Fan Coil Unit - Service Water Leak.-

This report was initiated by Incident Report 81-372.

' CONDITIONS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE:

Mode 1 - Rx Power 70% - Unit Load 730 MWe DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:

On September 13, 1981, during a routine containment inspection, an operator discovered service water leaking from the bottom primary cooling coil, on No. 22 containment fan coil unit-(CFCU), at a rate of approximately 0.5 gallons per minute.

In accordance with NRC'IE Bulletin 80-24, the NRC was-notified of the service water leak in-containment by telephone, with written confirmation transmitted within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

No. 22 CFCU was declared inoperable.and action statement 3.6.2.3.a was entered at 1940 hours0.0225 days <br />0.539 hours <br />0.00321 weeks <br />7.3817e-4 months <br />, September 13,.1981.

This occurrence constituted operation in a degraded mode in accordance with technical specification 6.9.1.9.b.

DESIGNATION OF APPARENT CAUSE-OF OCCURRENCE:

Equipment failure.

The service water leak was due to a pinhole leak in the bottom.p-imary coil on No. 22 CFCU.

ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:

Technical specification 3.6.2.3.a requires:

With one group of containment cooling fans inoperable and both Containment Spray Systems operable, restore the inop-

~

erable group of fans to operable statas within 7 days or be in hot standby within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in cold shut-down within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.-

LER 81-90/OlT -

CORRECTIVE ACTION

The bottom primary coil on No. 22 CFCU was isolated from the remainder of the coils by installing a blank flange insert between the service water inlet and outlet flanges.

As per engineering analysis, it is possible to isolate an individual cooler in this manner while retaining acceptable efficiency of the cooler.

This cooler will be replaced-during a future outage; however, no supplementary report will be issued.

No. 22 CFCU was tested satisfactorily and returned to service.

Action statement 3.6.2.3.a was terminated at 1950 hours0.0226 days <br />0.542 hours <br />0.00322 weeks <br />7.41975e-4 months <br />, September 14, 1981.
