UNITED STATES IN 80-41 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 November 10, 1980
IE Information Notice No. 80-41: FAILURE OF SWING CHECK VALVE IN THE DECAY
HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM AT DAVIS-BESSE UNIT
NO. 1
Description of Circumstances
On October 9, 1980 the resident inspector at the Davis-Besse facility was
informed that the licensee had performed leak rate tests and identified exces- sive leakage through Decay Heat Removal System check valve CF-30. Valve CF-30
is the inboard one of two in-series check valves that is used to isolate the
reactor coolant system from the low pressure decay heat removal system. On
further investigation the licensee found that the valve disc and arm had
separated from the valve body and was lodged just under the valve cover plate.
The two 2 5/8 x 5/8 inch bolts and locking mechanism for the bolts that holds
the arm to the valve body were missing and have not been located. The CF-30
valve is a 14-inch swing check valve manufactured by Velan Valve Corporation.
The cause of the failure has not been identified.
The test that was in progress when the failure was identified was being con- ducted in response to a letter from Darrell G. Eisenhut, Office of Nuclear
Reactor Regulations to all Light Water Reactor Licensees, LWR Primary Coolant
System Pressure Isolation Valves, February 23, 1980.
This IE Information Notice is provided as an early notification of a possibly
significant matter that is still under review by the NRC staff. It is expected
that recipients will review the information for possible applicability to
their facilities. No specific action or response is requested at this time.
If NRC evaluations so indicate, further licensee actions may be requested
or required.
No written response to this IE Information Notice is required. If you have
any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Director of the
appropriate NRC Regional Office.
