This notification is made pursuant to 10CF … This notification is made pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii) to report degradation of a principal safety barrier. During ASME Section XI (Table 2500-1 Code Category B-P, Item Number B15.10) refuel outage system leak testing of the reactor vessel and reactor coolant pressure boundary, leakage of approximately 1 drop per minute was detected from the bonnet vent leak-off connection on the reactor recirculation pump inlet isolation valve (RRC-V-23A) in the reactor coolant recirculation loop A. This condition is consistent with example (A)(2) provided in NUREG-1022, rev. 2 'Event Reporting Guidelines 10CFR50.72 and 50.73.' This example indicates that reporting under the above criteria is required for 'Welding or material defects in the primary coolant system which cannot be found acceptable under ASME Section XI, Table IWB-3410-1, 'Acceptance Standards.'</br>A cause evaluation will be performed and a 60-day follow-up report provided pursuant to the corresponding 10CFR50.73 reporting requirement.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.</br>* * * RETRACTION FROM FRED SCHILL TO VINCE KLCO AT 1955 EDT ON 6/19/09 * * * </br>Subsequent evaluation of the point where leakage was observed reveals that the 1 drop per minute leakage from RRC-V-23A was actually emanating from the packing chamber leak-off connection and not from the bonnet vent leak-off connection as reported.
