Event. Descri Cion '(cont'inued) shutdown in accordance with Administrative Procedure 103.8 and to commence adding a concentrated boric acid solution to the tanks.

The boron concentration of the tanks, was returned to within specification and normal operation was resumed.

('251-76-5).

Cause Descri tion (continued)

I f

Maintenance was performed on the inlet isolation valves to stop

. the leakage.

Leakage past the outlet isolation valves was stopped by isolating the leakoff line from those, valves.

, Similar cases of BIT dilution have occurred, however, this was the first, occurrence attributable directly to leakage past the isolation valves.

.Also, a situation in which cross dilution occurred between a BIT and a BAST was previously discussed in report 251-75-12.
