4 5/25/79 GPU Group Discussion MR. MILLER:
We want to discuss when we would shut that block valve, and looking at the pressurizer system failure procedure-and you've got to r====har to talk slow enough for the tape--it says that we w6uld shut it when you had, what, a leaking valve, or inoperable electromatic.
Now, how do we authorize operating with a valve that's leaking in accordance with our procedures?
MR. ZEWE:
It says as the pressurizer boron concentration is changed --
MR. MILLER:
Symptoms of a leaking valve are given there.
We knew the valve was leaking, I thought.
MR. ZEWE:
Oh, Yes.
MR. MTT.TER:
It had nothing to do with this transient.
This was what was brought up to me in the thing on Thursday, and that was that you have a procedure that says shut the valve when you have a problem with it.
I explained that as not being one of the procedures we had to follow that day, that we in fact were in the other procedures like I described earlier.
Management-wise, though, we were operating the plant with this valve, known to be leaking, not using this procedure.
MR. PORTER:
Electromatic or code?
SIMULTANEOUS:
Electromatic.
, MR. PORTER:
Did we know that was leaking?
MR. MILLER:
I think we thought it was leaking, whether we were right or wrong.
MR. SERT.TMGER:
Because of those 180 and 190 degree temperatures?
MR. MILLER:
That's right.
Ist that go right there.
