secondary containment Icak rate testing, it was noted that iso-lation valvos V-28-5 and V-28-6 did not indicate closed following

., isolation of the reactor building ventilation system. Investi-gation revealed that V-28-6 was not in the fully closed position.

'Iho rodundant valve, V-28-5, was found to be in the fully closed position. It is noted that the test results were acceptable

It is felt that condensation on the valve operator cot:ponents resulted in the observed rust accu =ulations.

ANALYSIS OF Re safety significance of this event is the loss of isolation OCCURRE!;CE:

valve redundancy. Although V-28-6 did not fully close, the redundant isolation valvo, V-28-5, functioned norns11y and closed fully.

CORRECTIVE R o valvo operator for V-28-6 was disassenb1cd by the raintenance ACTION:

department and small rust accumulations were found on the piston lands and cylinder walls. This rust accumulation caused the parts to bind which prevented the valve fron closing fully. The rust was renoved and the operator reassembled. V-28-6 was satis-factorily tested and returned.to service at 0400 on November 9, 1974.
