1975, at approximately 10:40 while perforcing routine surveillance on the "B"

isolation condenser systen, steam line valve V-14-32 failed to close on simulation of stean line high flow.

The motor operated isolation valves and condensate make up valves on."A" isolation condenser were tested for operability and V-14-32 was closed manually.

Further investigation revealed that V-14-32 had failed to close because the motor operator torque switch had tripped.

The failure of V-14-32 to close is attributed to a low setting for the motort0Perator torque switch.

The setting for the increased to a higher valve within the

torque was recommended manufactuger's rzuge( The valve was. check ed-*

  • Perable and "B" isolation condenser was returned to service.

.YSIS OF MCE:

The signigicance of this event was a loss of' redundancy for "B" isointion condenser to isolate on steam lino high flow.

The other valves in the system had demonstrated their operability during the surveillance.

In addition "A" j

isolation condenser system was checked operable and would i

have performed the purpose of the system had it been needed.

a, t

s liCTIVE M:

The setting for V-14-32 notor operator torque switch was

~~

increased and the valve was retested.

Further corrective action is under investigation.
