EVENT DESCRIPTION (Continued) the as-found leakage of 61.0 SCFH was attributed entirely to leakage through check valve 1501-25B. A second leak test using valves 1501-26B, i501-22B, and 1001-SB as boundaries yielded a leakage rate of 4.2 SCFH: Since .the second test volume included the volume of the previous test, total through-leakage for the penetration was well under the Tech Spec limit. A similar valve on Unit-2 failed 16cal leak~rate testing in early 1975. (50-249/1976-23)

CAUSE DESCRIPTION. (Continued)

The valve was disassembled, the seat was lapped, and the packing and _Flexitallic gasket were replaced. Leak-rate testing of the reassembled valve was satisfactory.

In 1975, a test/drain line was installed on this penetration which permitted leak-rate testing of check valve 3-1501-25B for the first time since unit oper-ation began. Since this valve has performed* satisfactorily over a period of .

several years, testing of this vaLve on an approximately annual basis should permit timely identification of a recurring problem.

• Valve 3-15.0l-25B is a 16-inch tilting disc check valve, manufactured by.Atwood and Morrill Company, Inc.
