ABSTRACT (Limit to 1400 spaces, i.e. approximately fifteen single-space typewritten lines) (16)

ABSTRACT:

On 042997 at 1800 hours0.0208 days <br />0.5 hours <br />0.00298 weeks <br />6.849e-4 months <br /> the Station identified a visual exanunation (VT-2) was not performed following a replacement of the 1-2301-45 valve in the High Pressure Coolant injection (HPCI) System. This is contrary to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)Section XI 1989 Edmon, Subsection IWA, Paragraph IWA-5214 and Technical Specification (TS) Secten 4.0.E. U-l HPCI was subsequently declared inoperable at 1930 on 050197 following an operability screening of the event.

The root cause of the event is inadequate procedures (QCAP 0307-20, QCAP 2200-04, and QCAP 2200-09), winich failed to provide clear instructions for ensuring ASME Section XI Repair / Replacement (R/R) Program requirements are included in the Work Request packages, and alto entered in the Post Maintenance Testing (PMT) matrix Corrective actions included an immediate VT-2 exammation of the 1-2301-45 valve, a resiew of other R/R programs for similar occurrences, and the planned revision of the administrative procedures responsible for the generation of ASME Section XI R/R Programs, Work Requests and assignment of PMT requirements.

The Safety Analysis concluded that despite the lack of a VT-2 exammation, the health and safety of on-site personnel and the public was not affected. Ahhough certified VT Examination personnel were not present during the initial HPCI Test and the ASME Code required VT-2 examination was not performed, the valve was verified to be leak tight by the HPCI system i

. engineer. The valve would have been able to perform its function in case of an accident and subsaluent HPCI initiation.

PLANT AND SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION

General Electric - Boiling Water Reactor - 2511 MWt rated core thermal power.

EVENT IDENTIFICATION: A visual exammation, (VT-2), was not performed due to procedural deficiencies following a High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System valve replacement, as required by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers ( ASME)Section XI and Technical Specification (TS) Section 4.0.E.

DESCRIPTION OF EVENT

On 042697 the Unit i High Pressure Coolant injection System (HPCI)[BJ] Turbine Exhaust Check Valve (1-2301-45) was replaced. Following the valve's replee, a pressure test was required by the Americca -

Society Mechanical Engmeers (ASME)Section XI Code and the requirement was documented on the ASME Repair / Replacement (R/R) Program that was inserted into the work request package. However, the R/R

{

Program did not explicitly state a VT-2 was required although it was implied by the pressure testag requirement. Subsequently, a VT-2 was not added electronically to the Post-Maintenance Testing (PMT)

Matrix. On 042997, following the testmg of Unit 1 HPCI, a station Level Ill VT Exammer inquired if a VT-2 was performed on the HPCI Turbine Exhaust Check Valve (1-2301-45) and discovered that it had not been performed. A Problem Identification Form was then generated and an Operability Screemng was requested to determine the Operability Status of Unit i HPCI. On 050197, the Operability Screemng determmed that Unit 1 i

HPCI was inoperable due to the missed test.

Technical Specification (TS) 4.0.E.1 states: "Insenice Inspection of ASME Code Class 1,2 and 3 components and Insenice Testing (IST) of ASME Code Class 1,2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda LER254 97@03.

CAUSE OF EVENT

he root cause of the event is due to inadequate procedures QCAP 0307-20, "ASME Section XI Repair And l

Replacement Program Preparation", QCAP 2200-04, " Preparation And Control Of Work Packages", and j

QCAP 2200-09, Post Maintenance Testing Guide. These procedures failed to provide clear instruction for ensuring ASME Section XI R/R Program requirements that are included in Work Request packages, are also entered electronically into the Work Request's PMT matrix.

l QCAP 0307-20 Attachment A, "Section XI Repair /Replacenwnt Program" that was generated for the work package did not mark the VT-2 requirement in the Pre-Service exam section, however a Functional pressure 3

test was specified in the pressure testing requirements that implied that VT-2 exam was required. His contradictory information created confusion and contributed to the nussed test.

i i

QCAP 2200-04 and QCAP 2200-09 requires the Work Analyst to include any testmg requirements specified on l

the R/R Program into the PMT matrix in the electronic work package Discussions with the Work Analysts indicated that they may not necessarily see the R/R program especially when the R/R program is generated j

during the course of work. In this case, any testing requirements specified on the R/R program may not be

{

included into the PMT matrix.

j D.

SAFETY ANALYSIS OF EVENT:

i j

ne Safety Analysis of the event was nummal and the health and safety of on-site personnel and the public was

}

not affected. Although certified VT Exammation personnel were not present during the initial HPCI Test and i

the ASME Code required VT-2 exammation was not performed, the valve was veri 6ed to be leak tight by the HPCI system engineer. He valve would have been able to perform its function in case of an accident and subsequent HPCIinitiation.

l i-E.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

i CORRECTIVE ACTIONS COMPLETED:

1.

He HPCI system was placed in operation and the valve was exammed by a certified VT-2 examiner on 050197. No leaks were noted by the examiner and the VT exam was acceptable.

j 2.

ASME R/R programs from other work packages were reviewed and no further instances of missed tests were found.
