TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-80-52 DATE OF EVENT: May 10, 1980 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: The combined leakage for the containment isolation valves tested exceeded allowable limit Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 6 with Power (MWT) = 0 and Load (Gross MWE) = 0.

Description of Occurrence: On May 10, 1980 at 1600 hours0.0185 days <br />0.444 hours <br />0.00265 weeks <br />6.088e-4 months <br /> while performing Local Leak Rate Test, ST 5061.02, the combined leakage for the penetrations tested thus far exceeded our total allowable combined leakage of 0.015 La (which is 15,000 ccpm). The penetrations that put us over the allowable limit were 52, 53, 54, and 55 which were all being tested the same day. The check valves that failed were MU242, MU243, MU244, and MU245. They each had seal leakage of approximately 4,000 cc per minute, giving a total of about 16,000 cc/ minute with the limit being about 15,000 cc/ minute. With about 80% of the penetrations completed, we had about 6,000 cc/ minute total leakage prior to these four valves being tested.

This placed the station in the action statement of Technical Specification 3.6.1.2.c which limits the combined leakage rate to :6 0.015 La for all penetrations identified as secondary containment bypass leakage paths when pressurized to Pa (38 psig). The action statement requires the leakage rate to be restored within limits prior to increasing the reactor coolant system temperature above 200 F.

Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The apparent cause is a slight buildup on the valve seats. The buildup is preventing a good seal. Work is presently on-going to clean up the seats and identify the buildup. Any unusual findings will be reported in a revision.

Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to station personnel. The backup valve was tested at the same time with zero leakage.

If needed, the second isolation valve would have been adequate to insure containment integrity.

Corrective Action

Maintenance Work Order 80-123 was issued to repair these check valves. At this time, some have been taken apart and inspected with the only find-ing being a slight buildup on the valve seat. The present plan is to lap the valve seats and retest.

Repairs will be completed prior to increasing reactor coolant system temperature above'200 F.

Any unusual fir. ding will be reported in a revision.

Failure Data: This is the first reported fa'. lure of this type check valve.
