C. CAUSE OF EVENT

Test procedure CPS 9843.01 V001 was inadequate in that the draining operation from the previous LLRT test on a motor-operated valve (MOV) in this line moved the check valve disc from its seat. Test procedure CPS 9053.05, RHR/LPCS Valve Operability (Shutdown), incorrectly allowed valve 1E12-FO41A to be stroked to establish test configuration.

D. SAFETY CONSEQUENCES

There were no actual consequences for this event. An analysis concluded that there was reasonable assurance check valve 1 E12-FO41A would have performed its design function to isolate the reactor coolant system pressure boundary. Additionally, the as-found LLRT for the redundant MOV for this line was completed with satisfactory results and thus the MOV was capable of completing the safety function to isolate the line.

No loss of safety function occurred during this event.

E.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

Procedure CPS 9843.01 V001 is being revised to clarify draining requirements for the test set that includes check valve 1E12-F041A. Additionally, similar procedures for the other ECCS systems are being reviewed and revised as necessary.

F. PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES

A search of Issue Reports identified a previous similar event of unacceptable preconditioning for LLRTs in Issue Reports 1300655 and 1310612 on valve 1 E51-F040 as reported in LER 2011-005. The event discussed in LER 2011-005 occurred during the same outage as the event described in LER 2011-009. Additionally, the event discussed in LER 2011-005 was caused by an incorrect procedure that directed preconditioning be performed prior to the LLRT.
