P ATTACHPENT TO LICENSEE EVENT REPORT NO. 81-003/OlT-0 Wisconsin Electric Power Company Point Beach Nuclear Plant Unit 2 Docket No. 50-301 At 1250 hours0.0145 days <br />0.347 hours <br />0.00207 weeks <br />4.75625e-4 months <br /> on May 26, 1981, during normal power operation, Unit 2, "A" steam generator blowdown sample .

valve , 2CV-2083, failed to close upon a manual remote signal from the control operator. The attempt to close 2CV-2083 was at the request of Chemistry Group personnel to stroke the valve. Valve 2CV-2083 is an air-operated containment isolation valve which is required to close automatically upon actuation of containment isolation. Inoperability of 2CV-20 83 '

is a technical violation of containment integrity as defined in Technical Specification 15.1.d. This occurrence is reportable in accordance with Technical Specification 15.6.9.2. A.2 as operating in a less conservative manner than the limiting condition of operation specified in Technical Specification

15. 3. 6. A. a.

After an immediate investigation it was found that 2CV-2083 failed to close due to excessive stem to packing friction resulting from dried out packing. The packing was adjusted and the valve stem lubricated. Followirg a satis-factory operational test on 2CV-2083, it was . returned to an operable status at 1330 hours0.0154 days <br />0.369 hours <br />0.0022 weeks <br />5.06065e-4 months <br /> on May 26, 1981.

The automatic containment isolation function of 2CV-20 83 was installed, in accordance with NUREG-0578, during the Unit 2 refueling outage ending on May 22, 1981.

The last operability test of 2CV-2083 was conducted on May 13, 19 81, with satisfactory results. If containment isolation was initiated while 2CV-2083 was inoperable, isolation could be provided via accessible mar.ual valves downstream of 2CV-208 3. At no time was the public safety endange red.

The nameplate data for 2CV-2083 is as follows:

Manufacturer: Copes Vulcan Body Size: 3/4" Pressure Rating: 600 psig Type: D-100-60 9
