SUBMISSION DATE 1151 I I I On January 4, 1989, Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 was entered due to inoper~bility of three groups of Containment Fan Cbil Units (CFCUs). Two groups, Nos. 14 and .15 CFCUs, were inoperable due to a No. 12 Service Water (SW) Header {BI} outage. The third group, No. 11 CFCU, became inoperable when.it developed a SW leak. The root cause of this event has been attributed to equipment problems. The SW leak associated with No. 11 CFCU was located on a "T" on the c6oler discharge line. The SW header outage was needed to support No. 12A Component Cooling Heat Exchanger (CCHX) SW inlet piping.weld leakage repair. A blind flange was installed on the No. 12A CCHX SW inlet piping allowing th~ SW header to be rele~sed and making the.Nos. 14 and 15 CFCUs operable. With the CFCUs operable Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 was exited. The SW leak on the No. 11 CFCU piping repairs were completed on January 8, 1989 at 0613.

Two groups, Nos. 14 and 15 CFCUs, were inoperable due to a No. 12 Service Water (SW) Header {BI}

outage. The third group, No. 11 CFCU, became inoperable when it developed-a SW leak. The SW leak was first detected as a result of required calculations which indicated an increased leak rate to the Containment Sump of greater than 1 gpm. Subsequent investigation identified SW leakage from No. 11 CFCU as th~ source of the increased leak rate.

Technical Specification Action Statement 3.6.2.3.b was first entered on January 3, 1989 at 0029 hours3.356481e-4 days <br />0.00806 hours <br />4.794974e-5 weeks <br />1.10345e-5 months <br /> in support of the SW Header outage.

Technical Specification 3.6.2.3 states:

"Three independent groups of containment cooling fans shall be OPERABLE.with two fan systems to each of two. groups and one fan system to the third group."

Technical Specification Action Statement 3.6.2.3 states:

"a. With one group of the above required containment cooling fans inoperable and both containment spray systems OPERABLE, restore the inoperable group of cooling fans to OPERABLE status within 7 days or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 states:

Where corrective measures are completed that permit operation uhder the ACTION requirements; the ACTION may be taken in accordance with the specified time limits as_ measured from the time of failure to meet the Limiting Condition of Operation.

Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual specifications."

APPARENT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:

The root cause of this event has been attributed to equipment problems.

The SW leak associated with No. 11.CFCU was located on a "T" on the cooler discharge line. The SW header outage was needed to support No. 12A Component Cooling Heat Exchanger (CCHX) SW inlet piping weld leakage repair. The SW leakage from the CCHX inlet piping and the CFCU cooler discharge line have both been attributed to erosion/corrosion effects.

The CFCUs are designed to ensure the containment air temperature will be maintaine~ within limits (i.e., 120°F) during nor1nal operation,

Salem Generating Station LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER) TEXT CONTINUATION DOCKET NUMBER LER NUMBER PAGE Unit ~1____________ 5000272 ____ i~..:-_9_0 l -_9_9________ 4__9J_~--

and adequate heat removal capacity is available when.operated in conjunction with the Containment Spray System during post-LOCA conditions. Th~ design is such that with all five CFCUs operable, the resulting temperature/pressure transient within Containment after a design base accident (e.g., LOCA) will be mitigated without support from the Containment Spray_System.

There are five separate CFCUs which are broken up into three distinct groups. No. 11 CFCU is Group l, Nos. 12 and 14 CFCUs are Group 2, and Nos. 13 and 15 CFCUs are Group 3. If either CFCU in Groups 2 or 3 become inoperable,* that respective Group becomes inoperable.

Therefore, ~ith Nos. 11.* 14, and 15 CFCUs inoperable, thiee groups of CFCUs.wer~ inoperable req~iring.erttry into Technical Specific~tion Action Statement 3~0.3.

During this event, the Containment Spray System was operable.

Therefore, this event did not affect the public. However, this event is reportable in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations 10CFR 50.73(a) (?) (i) (B) since Technical Specificatioh Action Statement 3.0.3 was required to be entered.

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

A blind flange was installed on the No. 12A CCHX SW inlet piping.

This allowed the SW header to be released making the Nos. 14 and 15 CFCUs operable. With the CFCUs operable Technical Specification Action Statement 3.0.3 was exited at 1312 hours0.0152 days <br />0.364 hours <br />0.00217 weeks <br />4.99216e-4 months <br /> on January 4, 1989.

The SW leak on the No .. 11 CFCU piping repairs (reference Action Request #890104141) were completed on January 8, 1988 at 0613 hours0.00709 days <br />0.17 hours <br />0.00101 weeks <br />2.332465e-4 months <br />.
