since February of 1971.

Description of Occurrence: Failure to check core spray beat i

exchanger integrity at frequent intervals as described in See-tion 5, Item 4, of Amend:ent 10 to the FESR following design modification in 1970.

.a

8. & 9 Designation of Cause/ Analysis of occurrence: Plant modifications for the backup core spray system vere made during the refueling antage of Ms ch 1"70 and a chech valve vas c.dded in 'vLe 4" 11ue

~

which penetrates containment to meet updated containment isolation criteria. The addition of this check valve made it i=possible to perfom the frequent checks for tube leakage as cutlined in Amendment 10 of the FHSR. This require =ent in Amend =ent 10 reads as follows:

"The tube bundle of the core spray heat exchanger vill be checked for leckage during routine operator invec-

~

tions, which occur at frequent intervals oy opening a 3/4 inch drain valve on the shell sidat.

Th. tube bundle vill be under p essure at all times from the fire system."

The pressure require =ent is descriptive and aside frcm the fact that it provides the basis for the surveillance check, it is not l

intended to be a safety-related requirenent of itself.

The core spray beat exchanger leakage test since 1971 has been done as a special test, T365-07, on an annual basis with no failures noted. The tube bundle had been replaced in February of 1971 fol-loving corrosion type failures of the original bundle. Based on the satisfactory results of the annual tests perforced in 1972, 1973 and j

197h, it is dec=cd that no undue safety harards existed at the fa-cility with reference to this ites.

10.

Corrective Action: The Special Annual Leak Test (T365-07) vas con-ducted satisfactorily on April 10, 1974 and procedural ctances are being cade to conduct a leakage inspection at renthly intervals.
