OCCURRENCE:
Routine testing of operability of the eserve Shutdown Hopper of Control Rod Drive No. 30, in Penetration 11, revealed the inability to cause operation of the pressure indicating swit,ch in the hopper. The testing was being done prior to installing the secondary closure.
The drive was removed from the reactor and the check valve removed from the discharge end of the Reserve Shutdown pressurizing line in the penetration wall.
The check valve was found to be plugged with dirt, iron oxide and pipe scale of a fairly fine consis'tency.
This material had plugged the v'alve rendering it inoperable in the closed position.
(See drawing No. PI-11-1 attached,'with check valves circled in red)

ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:
Mill scale, dirt, rust, etc., which had accumulated in the pipes during storage prior to construction, and during-construction, had-not been cleared from the lines. This foreign material was caught in the check. valve.
during normal testing and jammed the valve.
2 Normal testing uncovered the problem.

N CORRECTIVE' u
ACTION:
Ch'ech valves were removed from the reserve shutdown pressurizing lines of a'11 control rod drive penetrations and the lines were, blown clear.
The checlevalves were cleaned and reinstalled.
The controldod purge lines and check valves were treated similarly since tha 24--
a th: :::: ::teridl cad.the check valvcs the sana design.
L renewed build-up of scale is not anticipated because the supply lines to the control rod drives will be filled with Helium in nomal use, e
as opposed to air during the construction phase.
FAILURE DATA /SEfILAR REPORTED OCCURRENCES:
4 No failures of a similar nature have previously occurred.
PROGRAIDIATIC IMPACT:
It is expected that this orablem vill va ='ilt in.: 3-5 day del /
