Subject:

Containment Purge and Vent Valve Leak Testing Cooper Nuclear Station NRC Docket No. 50-298, DPR-46

Reference:

Letter, G. A. Trevors to NRC, " Containment Purge and Vent Valve Leak Tecting", dated February 19, 1988.

Gentlemen:

As stated in the referenced letter, quarterly local leak rate tests were performed on the containment purge and vent valves at Cooper Nuclear Station.

The results of these leak rate tests and the L impact are shown below. These figures represent the minimum pathway leakage.a TYPE "B" AND "C" 1988 1988 1988 1989 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AS-LEFT FIRST SECOND AS-FOUND LEAKAGE PATHWAYS LEAKAGE QUARTER QUARTER LEAKACE X-25, Drywell Inlet 0.00 SCFH 0.33 SCFH 0.55 SCFH 3.35 SCFH3 X-26, Drywell Exhaust 8.03 SCFH 69.83 SCFH 72.96 SCFH 0.00 SCFH3 X-205, Torus Inlet 0.29 SCFH 0.18 SCFH 0.14 SCFH 25.81 SCFH X-220, Torus Exhaust 0.18 SCFH 0.69 SCFH 1.57 SCFH 2.38 SCFH Other Penetrations 31.96 SCFH 31.96 SCFH 31.96 SCFH 113.41 SCFH Total (All Type B&C) 40.46 SCFH 102.99 SCFH 107.18 SCFH 144.95 SCFH Per Cent of L 12.8%

Page 2 Af ter the 1989 as-found tests, an inspection of the upstream side of the drywell and torus inlet lines was performed.

Apparently, dirt had blown across the purge inlet valve seats from the ventilating system while de-inerting the containment for the 1989 Refueling Outage.

Subsequent closing of the valves to perform the local leak rate tests damaged the rubber seat rings, causing higher leakage rates than vere recorded for the tests performed during operation.

Sincerely, i
