SUPPLEMENTARY INFOR"ATION Report No.

5 0-302 / 7 9-060/13L-0 Facility:

Crystal River Unit 3 Report Date:

05 July 1979 Occurreice Date:

13 June 1979 Identif ation of Occurrence:

Combined containment leakage rate greater than the limits specified in Technical Specification

3. 6.1. 2. b., and, containment penetration inop-erable contrary to Technical Specification 3.9.4.C.2.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Mode 5 cold shutdown.

Description of Occurrence:

It was discovered during the performance of the contain=rce leakage test types B & C SP-179, tha'. the containment purge isolation valves ARV-:A & 13 had excessive seat leakage.

It was later determined on 19 June through the discovery of a calculation error, that the leakage had exceeded the combined con-tainment leakage rate limit of.60La allowed by Technical Specifications.

Maintenance, performed upon initial discoverv of the leak-age reduced the ccmbined containment leakage rate to within allowed limits 16 June 1979.

Designation of Apparent Cause:

The cause of this event is attributed to im-proper seating of valves AHV-1A and AHV-13.

Analysis of Occurrence:

Core alterations were made prior to determi-nation that the combined containnent leakage rate was outside Technical Specification limi-tations.

No effect upon the plant or general public as the plant remained in a safe shut-down condition.

Corrective Action

A shim adjustment was made to the pivot point on AHV-1A.

Adjustments were made on the seat-ing edge and the torque arm of AHV-13.

The adjustments to both valves reduced the leakage rate to within allowed limits.

A procedure revision to SP-179 has also been implemented to clarify the calculations.

Failure Data:

This is the first occurrence of this type reported.
