Penetration 10 contains a 48 inch exhaust line for the Containment Purge System, with three butterfly valves, two of which (FCV-25-4 and FCV-25-5)are subject to Type C testing, as per Unit 2 Technical Specification 3.6.1.2.b, Table 3.6.-1 and Surveillance 4.6.1.7.3.
Acontributing factorwaslackofguidanceinthetechnical manualonhowtotightentheadjustment screwlocknut.Corrective actionsincludedconfirming thatthefusesforFCV-25-6(asecondvalveinthecontainment purgeexhaustline)werepulled,leaktestingFCV-25-6, adjusting andlockingdownthestopforclosingofFCV-25-5, andre-testing FCV-25-5, withsatisfactory results.Atechnical manualchangerequestwillalsobesubmitted.
Local leak rate testing is performed by pressurizing the piping between FCV-2S-4 and FCV-25-5.Test instrumentation is connected to a test tap between the two valves, and the change in pressure over time is recorded and used to calculate the leakage rate.The as-found leakage of the penetration was in excess of the allowable leakage of.05 La, or 48,500 SCCM.In accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.1.1.7, action was undertaken to restore the leakage rate to within the specified limit within 24 hours.Also in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.3., the fuses on FCV-25-6, an additional valve.in series with FCV-25-5, were verified to be pulled and this valve was leak tested.Following an adjustment, the valve seat stop adjustment screw was locked down-, and the leakage rate across FCV-25-5 was reduced to 200 SCCM.CAUSE OF THE EVENT The root cause of this event was personnel error by contractor maintenance personnel in that the valve travel adjustment screw locknut was only hand tightened the last time the valve travel was adjusted.A contributing factor to this event is the lack of guidance in the Technical Manual on how to tighten the adjustment screw locknut.The hand tight locknut allowed the valve travel to drift and resulted in the excessive leakage across FCV-25-S.There were no unusual characteristics of the work location that directly contributed to the personnel error.

The previous local leak rate testing on Penetration 10 was performed with satisfactory results during the normally scheduled refueling outage which ran from early February through April of 1989.Unit 2 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.7.3"requires testing of.the Purge Valves to be conducted at-intervals of at least once per 6 months on a staggered test basis.Therefore, the containment leakage rates, according to the requirements of this Technical Specification, were tested well within the bounds of the specified surveillance interval.The limits for containment leakage rates in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications are derived from the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50.Since the other two valves in the Containment Purge exhaust lines (FCV-25-4 and FCV-25-6)were operable, the, containment isolation safety function was maintained and the health and safety of the public was not threatened.

Purge System, is subject to Type C testing and revealed an"as-found" leakage rate across FCV-25-5 in excess of 3,171,840 standard cubic centimeters per minute (SCCM).This leakage rate is in excess of the allowable leakage of.05 La, or 48,500 SCCM, as per Technical Specification 4.6.1.7he root cause of the high measured leakage was personnel error in that the valve adjustment stop was not properly locked down by contractor personnel when the valve was previously adjusted.A contributing factor was lack of guidance in the technical manual on how to tighten the adjustment screw locknut.Corrective actions included confirming that the fuses for FCV-25-6 (a second valve in the containment purge exhaust line)were pulled, leak testing FCV-25-6, adjusting and locking down the stop for closing of FCV-25-5, and re-testing FCV-25-5, with satisfactory results.A technical manual change request will also be submitted.

HRC%%drm 3/(SA's/((TI o s o o o 89-0 04 00 02 oF 03 DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT On June 5, 1989, at 1220, with Unit.2 in Mode 1 at 1004 power, a routine local leak rate surveillance test on Containment Penetration 10 revealed a leakage rate across FCV-25-5 (EIIS:ISV) in excess of 3,171,840 Standard Cubic Centimeters per Minute (SCCM)which is the capacity of the test equipment.

Penetration 10 contains a 48 inch exhaust line for the Containment Purge System, with three butterfly valves, two of which (FCV-25-4 and FCV-25-5)are subject to Type C testing, as per Unit 2 Technical Specification 3.6.1.2.b, Table 3.6.-1 and Surveillance 4.6.1.7.3.

Local leak rate testing is performed by pressurizing the piping between FCV-2S-4 and FCV-25-5.Test instrumentation is connected to a test tap between the two valves, and the change in pressure over time is recorded and used to calculate the leakage rate.The as-found leakage of the penetration was in excess of the allowable leakage of.05 La, or 48,500 SCCM.In accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.1.1.7, action was undertaken to restore the leakage rate to within the specified limit within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.Also in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.3., the fuses on FCV-25-6, an additional valve.in series with FCV-25-5, were verified to be pulled and this valve was leak tested.Following an adjustment, the valve seat stop adjustment screw was locked down-, and the leakage rate across FCV-25-5 was reduced to 200 SCCM.CAUSE OF THE EVENT The root cause of this event was personnel error by contractor maintenance personnel in that the valve travel adjustment screw locknut was only hand tightened the last time the valve travel was adjusted.A contributing factor to this event is the lack of guidance in the Technical Manual on how to tighten the adjustment screw locknut.The hand tight locknut allowed the valve travel to drift and resulted in the excessive leakage across FCV-25-S.There were no unusual characteristics of the work location that directly contributed to the personnel error.

The previous local leak rate testing on Penetration 10 was performed with satisfactory results during the normally scheduled refueling outage which ran from early February through April of 1989.Unit 2 Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.6.1.7.3"requires testing of.the Purge Valves to be conducted at-intervals of at least once per 6 months on a staggered test basis.Therefore, the containment leakage rates, according to the requirements of this Technical Specification, were tested well within the bounds of the specified surveillance interval.The limits for containment leakage rates in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications are derived from the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50.Since the other two valves in the Containment Purge exhaust lines (FCV-25-4 and FCV-25-6)were operable, the, containment isolation safety function was maintained and the health and safety of the public was not threatened.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS 2)3)4)5)Operations personnel confirmed that the fuses were pulled on FCV-25-6.The Technical Staff Test Group leak tested FCV-25-6.I&C adjusted and locked down the stop for closing of FCV-25-5.The Technical Staff Test Group re-tested FCV-25-5.The Instrument

-&Control department will submit a change request to vendor Tech Manual 2998-4508 to provide more guidance on adjusting the valve travel and locking down the adjustment screw..ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 1~2~Com onent Identif'cat'on This event did not involve an NPRDS reportable component failure.Previous Similar Events r For a similar event, see LER N335-87-005, which pertains to excessive leakage past a containment purge valve on Unit.Nl.II N/lc PO/IM 344A I943 I
