Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 4, t ; La DOCKET 50-255, LICENSE DPR PALISADES PLANT, ER-76-011 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVE l

Attached is a Licensee Event Report which relates to the Palisades Plant.

I This event was originally thought to be nonreportable since containment l

integrity was not required at the time the problem was observed and a i

second isolation valve performed satisfactorily. Later review disclosed i

that it may be reportable as " abnormal degradation discovered in the pri-mary containment." Such an interpretation must conclude that degradation of one of two in series valves designed to isolate containment is intended

~

to be reported under the prompt notification requirements.
