During normal operations while performing Operations Surveillance Test F-St-76D titled "fligh Pressure Water Fire Protection System Valve Position Check,' personn'1 performing the surveillance test noted atwater leak on post indicator valve 76-FPS-30.

The water was leaking from ahlubrication line which is attached to the valve barrel.

Investigation revealed that the line had been struck and cut by a shovel during -snow removal operations, t

In order to effect repairs it was necessary to isolate the sprinkler system in the Recirculation h!ator Generator Room which is*. contrary to the requirements of Technical Specification Appendix A, Paragraph 3.12.B. I.

A continuous fire watch was established, backup fire suppression equipment L

was verified available, the sprinkler system was isolated, and the lubrication

r line repaired by cutting the line and installing a coupling.

ct The sprinkler system was returned to service (following repair) epprox-imately four hours after initial isolation.e:
