EVENT DESCRIPTION (Continued) time this valve has been local leak-rate tested since unit operations began.

(50-249/1976-30)

CAUSE DESCRIPTION (Continued) purge line is 'connected to the nitrogen makeup system, which is maintained at approximately 100 PSIG. Consequently, it is considered extremely improbable that any through-leakage would otcur, even with drywell pressure at the design limit of 48 PSIG. The safety significance of this event is further minim1zed by the physical size of the*purge 1 ine (1/4 - inch). To ensure the timely identification of a recurring problem, surveillance testing of the Tl.P* purge

~heck valves has been added to the refueling outage LLRT procedures for both Units 2 and 3. The valve is a 1/4 - inch ball check valve, model C400-10S,

• manufactured by Manetrol. . .
