OPERATIONS

SUMMARY

On April 23, 1991, while the plant was operating at approximately 70%

power, an instrument air fitting on feedwater regulating valve FCV-1101 failed, due to cyclic stresses. The failed fitting resulted in erratic operation of feedwater to steam generator RC-2A.

Power was reduced to 35%

in an effort to isolate FCV-1101, and initiate repairs. On April 25th, with FCV-Il01 isolated, a major overhaul was performed on both the valve and affected air lines.

Maintenance was completed on April 27th and power ascension commenced to 75% with FCV-1101 operating properly.

The following NRC inspections took place in April IR-91-05 Residents' Routine Inspection (concluded April 9, 1991)

IR-91-12 Security IR-91-13 Safety Enhancement Program (SEP)

IR-91-07 Water Chemistry IR-91-01 EDSFI IR-91-14 Residents' Routine Inspection (from April 10,1991)

The following LERs were submitted:

LER-91-05 Violation of Instrumentat on and Control Technical Specifications 2.15 LER-91-06 Failure to Establish Compensatory Firewatches LER-91-07 480V Circuit Breaker Coordination Outside Design Basis A.

SAFETY VALVES OR PORV CHALLENGES OR FAILURES WHICH OCCURRED None B.

RESULTS OF LEAK RALE TESTS The results of the reactor coolant leak rate tests for April,1991 indicate that the reactor coolant system (RCS) and chemical and volume control system are both rel'tively leak tight.

Total RCS leakage averages a very low 0.08 gpm divided evenly between "known" and " unknown" leakage.

During the month, there were a few instances of negative leak rates that are attributed to the normal random variations encountered with this test co.nbined with the very low average leak rate.

Leak rate test accuracy was affected on April 23rd, when power was reduced from 70% to 35% and again on April 27th, when power was increased from 35%

to 75%.

Accuri;y of the leak rate tests is reduced whenever the plant undergoes any departure from equilibrium conditions.

' Monthly Operating Report (MOR)

LIC-91-159R Page 2 The maximum leak rate for the month was recorded on April 26th when the total leak rate was 0.176 gpm and the unknown leak rate was 0.160 gpm.

Charging Pump CH-1A was found to have a hot packing leak-off line and was isolated.

This charging pump is now undergoing inspection and repacking.

CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS REQUIRING NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION AUTHORIZATION PURSUANT TO 10CFR50.59 Amendment Not Description None D.

SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RELATED MAINTENANCE FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL 1991 Diesel work for the month included:

DG-1 Adjusted the idle speed cam.

Installed an air flow device in the exhaust chimney which was removed after testing.

Trouble shooting indicated two of the air dryer filters were installed backwarJs.

The filters were reinstalled in the correct direction.

Troubleshooting of the fuel oil pressure switches revealed that the pressure snubbers associated with each fuel oil transfer pump pressure switch should be replaced due to contamination and plugging.

Four snubbers were replaced on the fuel oil system.

Replaced a torn gasket and pressure alarm switch PS-3374 for transfer pump F0-4A-1.

DG-2 Replaced jacket water inlet temperature switch TA-6131-1 that was causing faulty low engine water temperature alarms.

(

Retorqued the DG radiator fan blade bolts per the vendor manual instructions (30 to 60 days after blade pitch adjustment).

Raw Water Pump activities for the month included:

AC-10C

  • Removed raw water pump AC-10C and replaced with new pump.

Replaced root isolation valve RW-ll6 for pressure switch PC-2856 on the discharge of AC-10C.

Repaired and replaced the pressure indicator and switch sensing at RW-116.

l Installed a 6" piece of tubing and tube union downstream of i

RW-ll6 for test purposes.

AC-108

  • Replaced root isolation valve RW-120 for pressure switch PC-2855 on the discharge of raw water pump AC-108.

Component cooling water / raw water heat exchanger AC-1B was taken out of l

service to replace the lifting lugs on the end bell flanges and for 'ube cleaning.

The B phase overcurrent device for SI-3B containment spray pump motor feeder breaker 1B4-1 was found to be leaking oil and was replaced.
