Subject:
MAIN STEAM ISOLATION VALVE (MSIV) REPLACEMENT On March 11, 1986, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation management met separately with Region I and NRR management to inform the NRC that they had decided to replace the unique MSIV ball valves with the typical BWR "Y" pattern globe valves due to continued problems with the prototype testing of the ball valves. Prototype testing, completed through March 9,1987 showed no signs that a redesigned packing modification could be impismented which would stop the leakage at the body to seat joint. The licensee has been making contingency plans to replace the ball valves since September 1986, when the valves initially were found to leak by their seats, Presently the replacement valves, manufactured by Rockwell, are in Buffalo ready for shipment to the site. The entire process, from removal of the ball valves through preoperational testing of the globe valves, is expected to take three months.
The licensee informed the news media on March 11, 1987 and plans a press briefing for )
10:00 a.m. March 12, 1987.
The State of New York has been notified.
