Anchor/Darling Valve Company 701 First Street P.O.. Box 3428 Willlamsport, Pa 17701~28 The yoke clamps of three High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) motor operated valves at WNP-2 were found to be undersized. The clamps were supplied with the valves manufactured'by Anchor/Darfing, 7wo of the three valves are on the'return Ifne to the Condensate Storage Tanks, HPCS-V-10 and -11, and the third valve fs on the return line to the Suppression Pool, HPCS-V-23. A stress analysis indicated the clamps would exceed the yfeld strength of the clamp material whenever the valves are stroked closed. As a result, the number of allowable valve actuation cycles is much less than design. The yoke clamps are expected to perform their function for more than 10 years of routfna surveillance testing and under all accident conditions.

The actual condmon at WNP-2 was not safety significant Engineering calculatfons indicate that the yoke damp wfil withstand at least 150 cycles. To date an estfmated 100 cycles have been piaced on the valves. Based on the absence of a critical flaw, the yoke cfaraps stiff have a reasonable life. However, non-destrucUve examination (NDE) will be performed on all three clamps by October 31, 1S92 to determine if the condition affected valve operability. An evaluation wfff be done following NDE to determine if the condition fs reportable pursuant to the requirements of 50 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73.

0 0 gC)Q The defect was fdentmed on July'2?, 1992.

mOIL IO OO DlA WNP-2 was the purchaser, not the supplier of these parts.

OO V)M OQ The orfginalfy installed clamps will be replaced wfth new clamps by October 31, Oa Oo~ 8 1992. The Supply System is responsible for the corrective actions.
