Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

Worn packing.

Analysi s of Occurrence:

The safety implications of this occurrence are minimal since the outer isolation valve, M0-3-13-16 was found to leak no more than 120cc/ minute.

Corrective Action:

The valve was repacked.

Local leak rate testing was per-formed following the repacking and indicated a negligible leak rate.

Failure Data:

A previous failure of this type was reported as Abnormal Occurrence Report number 50-277-75-7.

Very truly yours, 7,w M.
