| | #, o Attachnsnt to W3P87-1700 Sheet 1 of 2 LP&L Response to Violation No. 8634-01 VIOLATION NO. 8634-01 Failure to Quantify Containment Isolation Valve Leakage The requirements of Appendix J to 10CFR Part 50.54(o), are invoked as a condition of the license for all water cooled power reactors. Appendix J requires that a continuous running tum of local leak rates for penetrations and isolation valves subjected to this testing not exceed 0.6 times the maximum allowable leakage rate at the calculated peak containment internal pressure related to the design basis loss of coolant acciden Contrary to the above, it was found during the week of December 8-11, 1986 that the local leak rates for six valves required to be tested had recorded as-found leak results of "off-scale" with no recorded value, so that the continuous running sum of local leak rates was not known and the required comparison with the Appendix J criterion could not be made for the as-found conditio This is a Severity Level IV violatio RESPONSE (1) Reason for the Violation The requirements of Appendix J Section III.C.3 to 10CFR Part 50 as invoked through Part 50.54(o) states in part: "The combined leakage rate for all penetrations and valves subject to Type B and C tests shall be less than 0.60 La." At the time the local leak rate testing was being performed the plant was in Mode As the result of local leak rate testing, six valves had as-found leak rates which exceeded the capability of the test equipmen The data as recorded was identified as "off scale" with no numerical value identified. During this inspection the NRC inspector noted that because of the recorded values of "off scale" he was unable to ascertain if the criterion of 0.60 La for leakage was satisfie (2) Corrective Action That Has Been Taken Prior to performing maintenance on the six valves the local leak rate test configuration was modified to provide a greater flow measuring capability. Of the six valves identified as having leak rates of "off scale", numerical values were identified for 5 of these valves. The sixth valve, a 24 inch contc1nment vacuum check valve (CVR-102) could not be pressurized with the modified test unit, thus r.o leak rate could be establishe Correctiva action was initiated by maintenance on all six valves and the appropriate retests were conducted. Acceptable leak rates were . |
| | ~ |
| | identified for these valves prior to returning to Mode 4. In accordance with the Appendix J criterion the required comparison for |
|
| |
|
| gauge used in the local leak rate testing program were reviewed by the NRC inspector. Three local leak rate tests performed on three valves were witnessed by the NRC inspector to determine if the licensee was properly complying with regulatory and procedural commitment The continuous running sum of local leak rates for all penetrations and isolation valves required to be subjected to local leakage rate testing is required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, to be less than 0.60 La, where La is the maximum allowable leakage rate at the calculated peak containment internal pressure related to the design basis loss of coolant accident (Pa). With an La value of 0.5 percent per 24 hours by weight at 44 psig, 0.6 La equates to 63,070 cc/ min. The method used to obtain the continuous running sum of local leak rates is to add the new test results and subtract the previous results for the same penetrations and isolation valves tested to the combined local leak rate sum. The NRC inspector reviewed the local leak rate data sheets to determine if the sum of the local leak rates for all boundaries and valves suoject to local leak rate testing met the acceptance criteri From a review of the local leak rate data sheets, it was determined that six valves had recorded as-found results of "off-scale" with no value entered. The required comparison with the Appendix J requirement of 0.6 La could therefore not be made for the as-found condition. This is an apparent violation (382/8634-01) of the above requiremen . Exit Interview The NRC inspector met licensee representatives and the resident inspector at the conclusion of the inspection on Decembu 11, 1986. The NRC inspector informed the licensee of the apparent violation and also informed the licensee that additional in-office review would be required prior to its issuance.

| | #'# Attachment to W3P87-1700 Sheet 2 'f 2 the as-found condition could not be made for CVR-10 For the purpose of this test it was assumed that the leakage for CVR-102 wculd result in exceeding the 0.60 La limi As per Appendix J Section V. requirements this valve will be reported in a separate accompanying summary report to the " Reactor Containment Building Integrated Leak Rate Test" repor The ability to indicate and quantify leakage ratea has been increased to account for valves with larger leak rate A continuous running sum total leak rate has been established to be able to, at any time, identify present leakage as compared to the 0.60 La limi It is conceivable in the future that a gross leskage may exceed the capability of our test uni In this event, alternative test methods or evaluations will be conducted to determine whether the 0.60 La criteria for Type C testing is met and a summary report will be prepared in accordance with Appendix J Section V. (3) Corrective Action To Be Taken Surveillance Procedure (PE-5-002) " Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT)" will be modified to maintain a continuous running sum of leak rates that fall within the 0.60 La criteria. Failed valves will be reworked and retested to ensure the total leakage is less than 0.60 La prior to entering a mode where the requirement exist (4) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Changes to the surveillance Procedure " Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT) are expected to be complete by July 15, 198 . |

- , o Attachnsnt to W3P87-1700 Sheet 1 of 2 LP&L Response to Violation No. 8634-01 VIOLATION NO. 8634-01 Failure to Quantify Containment Isolation Valve Leakage The requirements of Appendix J to 10CFR Part 50.54(o), are invoked as a condition of the license for all water cooled power reactors. Appendix J requires that a continuous running tum of local leak rates for penetrations and isolation valves subjected to this testing not exceed 0.6 times the maximum allowable leakage rate at the calculated peak containment internal pressure related to the design basis loss of coolant acciden Contrary to the above, it was found during the week of December 8-11, 1986 that the local leak rates for six valves required to be tested had recorded as-found leak results of "off-scale" with no recorded value, so that the continuous running sum of local leak rates was not known and the required comparison with the Appendix J criterion could not be made for the as-found conditio This is a Severity Level IV violatio RESPONSE (1) Reason for the Violation The requirements of Appendix J Section III.C.3 to 10CFR Part 50 as invoked through Part 50.54(o) states in part: "The combined leakage rate for all penetrations and valves subject to Type B and C tests shall be less than 0.60 La." At the time the local leak rate testing was being performed the plant was in Mode As the result of local leak rate testing, six valves had as-found leak rates which exceeded the capability of the test equipmen The data as recorded was identified as "off scale" with no numerical value identified. During this inspection the NRC inspector noted that because of the recorded values of "off scale" he was unable to ascertain if the criterion of 0.60 La for leakage was satisfie (2) Corrective Action That Has Been Taken Prior to performing maintenance on the six valves the local leak rate test configuration was modified to provide a greater flow measuring capability. Of the six valves identified as having leak rates of "off scale", numerical values were identified for 5 of these valves. The sixth valve, a 24 inch contc1nment vacuum check valve (CVR-102) could not be pressurized with the modified test unit, thus r.o leak rate could be establishe Correctiva action was initiated by maintenance on all six valves and the appropriate retests were conducted. Acceptable leak rates were .

identified for these valves prior to returning to Mode 4. In accordance with the Appendix J criterion the required comparison for

(3) Corrective Action To Be Taken Surveillance Procedure (PE-5-002) " Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT)" will be modified to maintain a continuous running sum of leak rates that fall within the 0.60 La criteria. Failed valves will be reworked and retested to ensure the total leakage is less than 0.60 La prior to entering a mode where the requirement exist (4) Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Changes to the surveillance Procedure " Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT) are expected to be complete by July 15, 198 .
