During normal power operation, while testing 'the HPCX auxiliary oil pump, steam supply valve FCV-73-16 failed to open, rendering the HPCX system inoperable.
Conditions Prior to Occurrence:
Unit operating at 57 percent powei.
Action specified in the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements met-due to ino erable e ui ment. Describe.
ADS, CSS, RHR (LPCX), and RCXC vore satisfactorily gested in accordance with T. S. 4. 5. E. 2.
A arent Cause of Occurrence: '
Mechanical failure of the geared limit switch finger bases and rotors at the.
. mounting to the limit switch gear box for the limitorque .(SMB-2) valve operator associated with the valve had caused it to be inoperable.
Anal sis of Occurrence:
Redundant systems were available. No hazard to the~public health and safety.
Corrective Action:
The broken limit switch parts were replaced; maintenance was conducted on the HPCX auxiliary oil pump; and the system was satisfactorily tested and returned to operation after replacing the HPCX rupture disc (which had been noted to be leaking) with an improved disc with vacuum support. FCV 73-16 was'nspected on units 1 and 3 and found to .be undamaged.
Failure Data:
None previous.
