D. SAFETY CONSEQUENCES

There were no actual safety consequences for this event.

For the RCS PIV function, 1 E12-F042C is one of two redundant pressure isolation valves in the RHR C injection line. The redundant isolation valve is the inboard check valve, 1 E12-F041 C. To lose the required function of isolating the RHR system (low pressure) piping from the reactor pressure, both the 1E12-FO41C and the 1E12-F042C would have to fail leakage testing with seat leakage in excess of the allowable TS SR 3.4.6.1 requirements.

Valve 1 E12-F041 C passed surveillance testing in C1 R12 and passed surveillance testing with 0.5 gpm measured leakage in C1 R13. Therefore, valve 1E12-FO41C maintained the RCS PIV function of providing overpressure protection of the low pressure RHR C piping for the C1 R12 to C1 R13 operating cycle.

Valve 1 E12-F042C is also the first of two redundant primary containment isolation barriers to prevent loss of containment integrity. The second barrier is the RHR C Closed Loop Outside Containment (CLOC). This barrier provides a water seal beyond 1 E12-F042C and is historically extremely reliable. The RHR C CLOC was tested in C1R13 and passed leakage rate testing with a measured leakage rate of 0.25 gpm as compared to an acceptance criteria of five gpm. Therefore, there is reasonable assurance that primary containment integrity was maintained for containment penetration 1 MC-017.

E.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The valve was repaired by performing weld build-up of the internal guide ribs, which tightened the valve internal tolerances. Following repairs, the valve was restored to an operable status by satisfactorily testing the valve within allowable limits.

F. PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES

In C1R12, 1E12-F042C (plus four other RCS PIVs) were tested at a pressure slightly higher than the pressure specified in SR 3.4.6.1. This condition was identified on April 7, 2011 which resulted in missed surveillances per SR 3.0.3 for these valves. The other four RCS PIVs passed their leakage tests in C1 R1 3. No other occurrences of leakage test failures were identified for these RCS PIVs.
