The scope of the test.was to throttle temporary valve TV-3 to establish flow rates of 300,'400, 500, 700, and 900 standard cubic feet per minute.Pressures were recorded both at'he nitrogen skid (at the low pressure nitrogen head'er PI-78 and at the high pressure nitrogen header PI-79)and at the temporary modification manifold TPI-1 at two minute time intervals for each established flow rate.The nitrogen level was also recorded as was particulate samples.The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators immediately dropped off to 90 psig with flow of 300 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates (the highest attainable consistent flow rate was 737-740 SCFM)the pressure dropped to 82-86 PSIG.The pressure in the turbine building at TPI-1 dropped off rapidly with the higher flow rates.Figure 1 shows the pressure at the instrument air header interface at various flow'ates.These results indicated two initial problems: 1)The regulators weren't providing the proper flow to establish the 82-86 PSIG out at the low press nitrogen header.2)There was a considerable pressure drop being caused in the piping from the regulators to the temporary gage in the turbine building.From the results above, engineering decided to rerun the test and additionally record the nitrogen pressure upstream of the low,pressure nitrogen regulators at the PI-42.This would indicate if there was a system design problem (i.e., Item 1, the vaporizer and/or piping couldn't supply the proper quantity of nitrogen at the desired pressure with the regulators wide open}or that regulators were either sized wrong and/or set incorrectly. | : 1.

~li 0~O 13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM'EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS The test allowed isolation-of the three pressure regulators in various sequences and allowed for the throttling of the bypass valve around the regulators PCV49 and PCV49A.'he results indicated that a flow at over 1000 SCFM could be obtained from the low pressure N2 system with the high pressure.nitrogen backup not supplying any nitrogen.Additionally, the pressure at TPI-1 was 78 PSIG with a flow of 953 SCFM.This extremely high flow was likewise obtained with the high pressure, nitrogen regulator PV41 not supplying any nitrogen.Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the interface with the instrument air system with the bypass valve throttled to maintain a pressure of 115 psig downstream of the regulator. | plunge= seats, and springs shoved a slight anount dust. The plunger cavity shoved med um anount of dust. | ||
After obtaining this initial data, each regulator was isolated and cal'ibrated in accordance with the table below at a flow of approximately 200 SCFM.l)AS FOUND)AS LEFT I RFGULATOR SETTING SETTING I 2JGAiN-PCV49 I 2JGAN-PCV49A | : 2. The upper plunger assenbly had slightly nore dust on it than the bottom plunger assembly. | ||
The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators dropped off to 108 PSIG with a flow of 289 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates the pressure dropped off to 100 PSIG.Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the instrument air header interface after the regulator adjustment. | : 3. The .011 inch orifices in the px'ot olunaers apoeared to, be completely ee of dust and not plugged- This is evidenced by obse vatxons of very round holes with round chamfers on the plungers. | ||
The upstream pressure of regulators PCV49 and PCV49A remained at 150-160 PSIG.This indicates that the regulators, even though set under dynamic (flowing)conditions, still drifted down at the high flow rates from their original settings.The pressure at TPI-1 still dropped 16 PSIG at 700 SCFM and dropped 29 psig at 902 SCFM.After the flow testing, samples were taken of the nitrogen stream and the particulate readings indicated that the quantity of particulates had decreased. | The auantity of dust found on the olungers and plunger seats was not enou h to use for a chemical composition or particle si=e sample. | ||
significantly from the previously two tests.There were only 3-5 particles greater than or equal to 5 microns but less than 10 microns.and 105-158 particles greater than or equal to 3 microns but less than 5 microns.The original high number of particles in the low pressure nitrogen system is attributed to the lack-of full flow purging the system during the startup phase.Conclusions In conclusion, the three tests that were performed on the low pressure nitrogen system indicated.that the nitrogen skid upstream of the pressure regulators GAN-PCV-049, 049A and GA-PC-041 can satisfactorily deliver the anticipated flow of 1000 SCFM at 100 PSIG downstream of the regulator. | |||
H-3 13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS However, the regulators and the components downstream of the regulators are not functioning correctly to deliver the maximum desired flow and pressure to meet the IA header demand without operator action.Pressure regulator J-GATV-PCV'-49 currently has an outstanding work order (V.O.)hich requires removal, inspection, repair and/or replacement of the valve as necessary to ensure that the valve maintains pressure downstream at 115 PSIG+3 PSIG.The subject valve was adjusted per 73-9IA02, Rev.1, satisfactorily at flow condition such that the pressure dovnstream is currently within the required range.The system was then tested to ensure proper operation. | Cl | ||
Therefore, it is not necessary to perform M.O.00334794 as | ~ll | ||
For Short Term/Irrmediate Resolution In order to maintain system pressure of 85 PSIG at flov rates in excess of 700 SCFM (during a transient situation) an operator needs to be dispatched to the ow pressure control panel and to manually throttle bypass valve GAN-V260 to maintain a pressure of 100-120 PSIG at PI-78.Important attention must be made to the fact of not exceeding the high pressure setpoint of 125 PSIG so as to provide a safety margin between line operating pressure and the setting on the pressure safety valve (140 PSIG)and rupture disk (165 PSIG).For Lone Term Total Resolution 1)Evaluate setting the regulators (PCV-49, PCV-49A, and PV-41)to a higher setpoint, which will give us a subsequently higher pressure at the high flow rates which had previously dropped off, 2)Evaluate procurement and installation of'egulators which are guaranteed not to drift drastically under various flowrates, and 3)Evaluate installing a spring with a small compression ratio., in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, in place of the removed spring from check valve IAN-V056 (EER-89-GA-007), and 4)Additionally, evaluate component by component the design pressure drop (at our desired flow/pressure conditions) of all valves and piping from the nitrogen regulators to the interface where nitrogen backs up instrument air and change out any component for which an enhancement is, possible.5)Install a filter in the nitrogen line just upstream of the nitrogen/instrument air interface to filter out particles greater than 3 microns.S i te Mod 2-SM-GA-003 has been developed to ins tall this | |||

LOW PRESSURE NITROGEN SYSTEM TEST RESULTS | |||
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS Smmmmrv This Appendix provides a summary of the tests which were run to determine the cause for the pressure drop in the backup nitrogen system to the compressed gas system, test results, conclusion, and proposed corrective actions. For the temporary test setup, refer to the Nuclear Administrative Technical Manual procedure noted under each test section. | |||
TEST 1 Procedure No.: 73TI-9IA02, Rev; 0 05/14/89 The low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header | |||
,test was set up to determi.,e actual conditions which the nitrogen system would experience during a loss of instrument air. T-Mod 2-89-IA-018 was installed to support 'this gathering of data as per the test 'instruction. | |||
The scope of the test.was to throttle temporary valve TV-3 to establish flow rates of 300, '400, 500, 700, and 900 standard cubic feet per minute. | |||
Pressures were recorded both at'he nitrogen skid (at the low pressure nitrogen head'er PI-78 and at the high pressure nitrogen header PI-79) and at the temporary modification manifold TPI-1 at two minute time intervals for each established flow rate. The nitrogen level was also recorded as was particulate samples. | |||
The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators immediately dropped off to 90 psig with flow of 300 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates (the highest attainable consistent flow rate was 737-740 SCFM) the pressure dropped to 82-86 PSIG. The pressure in the turbine building at TPI-1 dropped off rapidly with the higher flow rates. Figure 1 shows the pressure at the instrument air header interface at various flow | |||
'ates. | |||
These results indicated two initial problems: | |||
: 1) The regulators weren't providing the proper flow to establish the 82-86 PSIG out at the low press nitrogen header. | |||
: 2) There was a considerable pressure drop being caused in the piping from the regulators to the temporary gage in the turbine building. | |||
From the results above, engineering decided to rerun the test and additionally record the nitrogen pressure upstream of the low,pressure nitrogen regulators at the PI-42. This would indicate if there was a system design problem (i.e., | |||
Item 1, the vaporizer and/or piping couldn't supply the proper quantity of nitrogen at the desired pressure with the regulators wide open} or that regulators were either sized wrong and/or set incorrectly. For Item 2, and NED engineers evaluated the piping configuration from the regulators to T-Mod setup and determined that the check valve 2IAN-V056 contained a spring which could be the cause for the high pressure drop experienced during testing. The results from the particulate samples indicated more particles greater than the 3 micron level than we would like to see in the instrument air system. | |||
H-,l | |||
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS TEST 2 Procedure Ro.: 73TI-9IA02, Rev. 0 05/17/89 The low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header test was set up to observe the performance of the nitrogen system with the spring from check valve 2IAN-V056 removed. T-Mod 2-89-IA-018 remained installed to support this gathering of data as per the test instruction. The internal spring was removed from check valve 2IAN-U056 per EER 89-IA-007 and T-Mod 2-89-IA-023. | |||
The actual test was to throttle temporary valve TV-3 to establish flow rates of 300, 400, 500, 700, and QOO standard cubic 'feet per minute. Pressures were recorded both at the nitrogen skid (at the low pressure nitrogen header PI-78 and PI-42 and at the high pressure nitrogen header PI-79) and at the temporar emporary modification manifold TPI-1 at two minute time intervals for each established flow rate. The nitrogen level was also recorded as was particulate samples. | |||
The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators immediately dropped off to 94 psig with flow of 300 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates (the highest attainable consistent flow rate was 811-818 SCFM) the pressure dropped to 82-90 psig. The pressure in the turbine building at TPI-1 dropped off rapidly with the higher flow rates but .not as rapidly as test 1 with the spring installed in the check valve .(a 2-6 psxg psi increase occurred as a result of the spring removed). The pressure upstream of the pressure regulators PCV-49 and PCV-49A consistently was higher than the downstream pressure by 54-60 PSIG. This seemed to indicated that the low pressure nitrogen vaporizer and piping supplying the regulators PCV-49 and PCU-49A was doing its design function. This drew the conclusion that the regulators were the cause of the immediate pressure drop (under flowin owing conditions) observed at PI-78. Whether the regulators were either not sized correctly, not set properly, or faulty could not be determined, therefore, EED and NED engineers decided to rerun the test. | |||
The results from the particulate samples still indicated more particles greater than the 3 micron level than we would like to see in the instrument air system. Figure 1 shows the pressure at the instrument air header at various flow rates. | |||
TEST 3 Procedure No..: 73TI-9IA02, Rev. 1 05/19/89 This re'vision of the low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header test specifically tests the operability of the pressure control valves (PCV49, PCV49A and PV41) which supply the low pressure nitrogen header, allows the setting of these same valves, and tests the system under the same flow rates established during the previous tests (73TI-9IA02, Rev. 0). | |||

13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM 'EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS The test allowed isolation- of the three pressure regulators in various sequences and allowed for the throttling of the bypass valve around the regulators PCV49 and PCV49A. 'he results indicated that a flow at over 1000 SCFM could be obtained from the low pressure N2 system with the high pressure. | |||
nitrogen backup not supplying any nitrogen. Additionally, the pressure at TPI-1 was 78 PSIG with a flow of 953 SCFM. This extremely high flow was likewise obtained with the high pressure, nitrogen regulator PV41 not supplying any nitrogen. Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the interface with the instrument air system with the bypass valve throttled to maintain a pressure of 115 psig downstream of the regulator. | |||
After obtaining this initial data, each regulator was isolated and cal'ibrated in accordance with the table below at a flow of approximately 200 SCFM. | |||

The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators dropped off to 108 PSIG with a flow of 289 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates the pressure dropped off to 100 PSIG. Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the instrument air header interface after the regulator adjustment. The upstream pressure of regulators PCV49 and PCV49A remained at 150-160 PSIG. | |||
This indicates that the regulators, even though set under dynamic (flowing) conditions, still drifted down at the high flow rates from their original settings. The pressure at TPI-1 still dropped 16 PSIG at 700 SCFM and dropped 29 psig at 902 SCFM. | |||
After the flow testing, samples were taken of the nitrogen stream and the particulate readings indicated that the quantity of particulates had decreased. | |||
significantly from the previously two tests. There were only 3-5 particles greater than or equal to 5 microns but less than 10 microns . and 105-158 particles greater than or equal to 3 microns but less than 5 microns. The original high number of particles in the low pressure nitrogen system is attributed to the lack -of full flow purging the system during the startup phase. | |||
Conclusions In conclusion, the three tests that were performed on the low pressure nitrogen system indicated . that the nitrogen skid upstream of the pressure regulators GAN-PCV-049, 049A and GA-PC-041 can satisfactorily deliver the anticipated flow of 1000 SCFM at 100 PSIG downstream of the regulator. | |||
H-3 | |||
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS However, the regulators and the components downstream of the regulators are not functioning correctly to deliver the maximum desired flow and pressure to meet the IA header demand without operator action. | |||
Pressure regulator J-GATV-PCV'-49 currently has an outstanding work order (V.O. | |||
) hich requires removal, inspection, repair and/or replacement of the valve as necessary to ensure that the valve maintains pressure downstream at 115 PSIG + 3 PSIG. The subject valve was adjusted per 73-9IA02, Rev. 1, satisfactorily at flow condition such that the pressure dovnstream is currently within the required range. The system was then tested to ensure proper operation. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform M.O. 00334794 as a restart item. -In addition, the subject valves are currently being evaluat e d or replacement with more efficient type regulators as outlined i belov.e ow. | |||
After evaluating all the test data, the folloving are recommended for resolution of the lov obtained pressures: | |||
For Short Term/Irrmediate Resolution In order to maintain system pressure of 85 PSIG at flov rates in excess of 700 SCFM (during a transient situation) an operator needs to be dispatched to the ow pressure control panel and to manually throttle bypass valve GAN-V260 to maintain a pressure of 100-120 PSIG at PI-78. Important attention must be made to the fact of not exceeding the high pressure setpoint of 125 PSIG so as to provide a safety margin between line operating pressure and the setting on the pressure safety valve (140 PSIG) and rupture disk (165 PSIG). | |||
For Lone Term Total Resolution | |||
: 1) Evaluate setting the regulators (PCV-49, PCV-49A, and PV-41) to a higher setpoint, which will give us a subsequently higher pressure at the high flow rates which had previously dropped off, | |||
: 2) Evaluate procurement and installation of'egulators which are guaranteed not to drift drastically under various flowrates, and | |||
: 3) Evaluate installing a spring with a small compression ratio., in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, in place of the removed spring from check valve IAN-V056 (EER-89-GA-007), and | |||
: 4) Additionally, evaluate component by component the design pressure drop (at our desired flow/pressure conditions) of all valves and piping from the nitrogen regulators to the interface where nitrogen backs up instrument air and change out any component for which an enhancement is, possible. | |||
: 5) Install a filter in the nitrogen line just upstream of the nitrogen/ | |||
instrument air interface to filter out particles greater than 3 microns. | |||
S i te Mod 2 - SM-GA-003 has been developed to ins tall this fi 1 ter . This should be installed during an available outage, but this need not be a restart item as there is no specific safety consequences with the present setup. The modification will enhance the present setup and comply with the intent of Generic Letter 88-14 as it is ANPP's position of complying in a timely manner with all the recommendations of the NRC. | |||

.I.'o. 2 air start train for the Unit 1 P" diesel. After replacement of a bad condenser fan ro:or and recharoing the dryer xith refrigerant, this air start train xas also verified to neet the dexpoint acceptance criteria.
Testing of the diesel generator air start system for particulate and oil content is not considered necessary due to the system design xhich includes the previously mentioned y-strainer /filter and doxnstream filters. Transamerica Delava1 (nox IHO Delaval) has specified the exact filters to be used in these applications. These filters are periodically inspected and cleaned or replaced in accordance with the generic aaintenance recornendations developed by the Transarerica Delaval Oxner's Group (see Appendix 11 of the TDI Diesel Generator Design Reviex and Qua'lity Reva'lidation Report-YEGP: Note: This report xas previously submitted to the HRC). The YEGP program for performing these periodic inspections is discussed ies in more detail later in this response.
A review xas conducted o, -Transamerica Delaval recornondations and of the recommendations developed by the Transamerica Delava1 Oxner's "ated Group. This .reviex indicated t that mantita:.ive air quality ure requirem nts have not been specified for the diesel generator air I s art system. Therefore, YEGP considers that the air quality testing :lons per,ormed during preoperational tests 1-3KJ-01, 1-3KJ-02, 2-3KJ-01, ll and 2-3KJ-02 xas suf icient to verify the air quality oi the air star. systems for, Units and 2 consistent xi h the 1

13-MS'-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM.EUALUATION AND ANALYSIS APPENDIX E REFERENCE MATERIAL ASSOCIATED WITH PREUENTATIUE MAINTENANCE
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS APPENDIX E REFERENCE MATERIAL ASSOCIATED WITH. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE (PH)
PURPOSE This Appendix recommendnds preventative maintenance enhancements to increase the reliability of the CGS and to maintain proper gas quality.
Supplier documents fo f r maintenance and operation of various components within the Com P ressed Gas System S (x.e., Instrument Air and Nitrogen Systems) were reviewed to determine the recommended maintenance intervals. a s. SIMS R epetxtive or as s were reviewed to compare existing requirements with vendor recommendation.
RECOMMENDED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE ACTIONS
- 1. Comment on Existing Repetitive Work Tasks The equipment/instrument listed in Table E-3 have a Repetitive Work task generated in the SINS data base which is not kept current. The due date currently given for the performance of the task is only an estimate for p arming purpose and is not an actual'ask performance due date. A review of the original frequency stated for the equipment/instruments listed in Table 3 shows that the original frequency is comparable to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance interval. Therefore, the Repetitive Work Tasks for the equipment/instruments listed in Table E-3 and E-4 should be changed to the original requirements.
- 2. Additional Preventative Maintenance Tasks Tables E-1 and E-2 identifies additional monitoring, inspection and/or preventative maintenance tasks that are currently not performed under, the PVNGS Repetitive Task Program for the CGS. These recommended tasks do not supercede the tasks that currently exist in the PVNGS Repetitive Task Program. Instead, the recommended tasks should be performed in conjunction with the existing tasks. For additional monitoring see Tables E-1 and E-2.

13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS NOTES:
- 1) ANPP's current PM Program does not inspect the piston rod packing and/or oil scraper rings. This testing will ensure that air quality is maintained and oil carryover does not occur.
2)) Inspect the tell-tale hole which is on the after-cooler for evidence of air or water leakage. Air or water will indicate seal failure that needs to be corrected
- 3) Manufacturer's instruction is to inspect once per six. months. However,,
inspection once per six months could cause undesirable transients on an operating unit. Therefore, inspection once per refueling is recommended. Reference M050.50.
- 4) If the solenoid is buzzing loud enough to be clearly heard at arm length, A then the solenoid internals need cleaning. These solenoids are upstream +~
of the after-filters and are supplied by air from the receiver which may not. be as clean as. the air required by the ISA standards. In addition, inspect proper operation of the cooling water solenoid isolation valve.
5)) P IC--3 9 should be inspected to verify that appropriate pressure signal (i.e., 3.15 lb.) is delivered to the adjustable bias ratio relays from the pneumatic indicating controller. The output of the bias ratio relays should ha acetified to assure PIC-39 is operating adequately shen the Qi.
compressors are shifted.
- 6) Verify proper operation of this valve once per refueling by isolating the nitrogen header on both sides of the valve and generating, a PSL-52 open signal. This task should be. performed at each refueling to avoid isolation of the IA system backup during normal operation.
- 7) A. Check for frost spot on outer vessel. These indicate a poor vacuum or a void in the perlite insulation.
B. Check the pressure in the vacuum insulated space if A. indicates Qg frost spots.
Check for ice buildup around relief devices and rupture discs.

APPENDS F 13-MS-A20 1.0 Ii~ODUCTION Tlte objective oi this project was to obtain back leakage test data for one 1 inch series, 000!L., stainless steel Y-type spring check valve with steliite metal'-to-metal seat. The valve 6000!b was to be insta!Ied in a horizontal position and the tests were to be conducted in accordance with ANSI/API 527, "Commercial Seat Tightness of Safety Relief Valves with Metal-to-Metal Seats".
The procedure outlined in this document was to be followed because no separate document is available for spring check valves with metal-to-metal seats. The leakage measurements were to be conducted at supply air pressures of 95 psig and 80 psig.
The valve was provided by Arizona Public Service Company (APS). A requirement was imposed that the valve not be welded or altered in any way during the tests.
13-MS-A20 2.0 TH E TEST APPARATUS AND PROCEDURE 2.1 TEST APPARATUS Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the test apparatus. Air, free of oil and water, is supplied from an air accumulator (at 125 psig pressure).

Vc.sS'M Fig. 2 A sketch of th'e check valve with the exit tube The PVC plugs and the stainless steel fittings on the ittiet and the exit sides of the check valve were subjected to soap bubble leak tests to ensure that they were indeed leaktight. The check valve was installed in the horizontal position for all tests. A pressure gage installed immediately upstream of the valve indicated the supply air pressure.
The air pressure buildup in the check valve exit tube was negligible because of mirtirnai resistance to air flow along the exit path.
2.2 TEST PROCEDURE Two seri s of tests were run at each of the tivo air supply. pressures (viz. 95 psig and SO psig). One series of tests corresponded to the check valve as obtained from APS. The second series of tests was'run after exercising the check valve by establishing air Qow in the normal 2-2
APPENDIX F 13 MS A20 direction tluough it several times.
At each supplv pressure, the valve leakage rate in bubbies per minute was determined b countu>g the. number of bubbles over a specific time interval. Since the bubbles emerged from the tube at rates too high for visual counting, the 'popping'ound made by each bubble as it emerged was depended upon for counting. Results obtained by this method proved to be quite consistent as catt be seen from the data presented in Section 3.0. A stop watch was used for establishing the counting time interval.
Some degree of independence between the various bubble count rates obtained was provided by having three different individuals participate in the counting experiment.

13-HS-A20 Compressed Gas System Evaluation and Analysis A pilot p progran for pneumatic comxonent insoection ha- b een initiated ia ed ata pVNGS. The obgectives of the program are.'.
Inspect a samp}.e of pneumatic conponents fron unit 2 to gain confidence that no degradation of equipment has resulted due to pox,entially degraded air qu'ality durin'g past plant operations.
- 2. Gain" experience in the inspection of" pneumatic conponents for a proposed future p}.ant wide evaluation. The information gained from this pilot program will be used to write the inspection procedure for the greater scope statistical evaluation discussed in- section IV. F of this study.
Four 3/4 inch air operated 2-way norma}.}.y open pilot val from Unit 2 were inspected . These valves are part of the pneumatic control system for the Steam Bypass Control Valves.
In addition, four pneunatic positioners for the Atmospheric Dump Valves from Unit 3 wexe inspected. None of the components that were inspected showed any indication of deg adation due to potential air quality prob}.ems. A light layer of dust on some conponents was the only indicax,ion of contamination that was observed. There was no indication'f any hydrocarbon or moisture con amination in any active ax'ea of the pneumatic component.
The pilot valves f on Unit 2 showed the greatest spread in dust accumulation among components. One valve appeared to have been insta}.led for a considerable amount of tine while the other three valves - had significantly less dust accumulation and nay not have seen as much service. A tine in service determination could not be made since there no way to tie the specific valve to specific wor)c history. There are Four identical part numbered pilot valves on each Steam Bypass Contxol Valve pneumatic control system and the valve identification tags only stated which SBCV they came from.
The Atmospheric Dump Valve positioners from unit three showed essen ially the same anount of dust buildup from one positioner to another. A SI?15 work order search revealed that three of the positioners had been in service since staxtup and one had been replaced'n November 25. 1987. The amount of dust in the positioners was very light and had the consistency of flou..
The amount and si=e of dust observed on both the'pilot valves and positioners was considered to be well wxthin accepxabie limits and all components were considered to be completely functiona}. with respect to i nstrument air cone.amxnax.son.
Attached are the inspection results for each component.

LOW PRESSURE NITROGEN SYSTEM TEST RESULTS
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS Smmmmrv This Appendix provides a summary of the tests which were run to determine the cause for the pressure drop in the backup nitrogen system to the compressed gas system, test results, conclusion, and proposed corrective actions. For the temporary test setup, refer to the Nuclear Administrative Technical Manual procedure noted under each test section.
TEST 1 Procedure No.: 73TI-9IA02, Rev; 0 05/14/89 The low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header
,test was set up to determi.,e actual conditions which the nitrogen system would experience during a loss of instrument air. T-Mod 2-89-IA-018 was installed to support 'this gathering of data as per the test 'instruction.
The scope of the test.was to throttle temporary valve TV-3 to establish flow rates of 300, '400, 500, 700, and 900 standard cubic feet per minute.
Pressures were recorded both at'he nitrogen skid (at the low pressure nitrogen head'er PI-78 and at the high pressure nitrogen header PI-79) and at the temporary modification manifold TPI-1 at two minute time intervals for each established flow rate. The nitrogen level was also recorded as was particulate samples.
The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators immediately dropped off to 90 psig with flow of 300 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates (the highest attainable consistent flow rate was 737-740 SCFM) the pressure dropped to 82-86 PSIG. The pressure in the turbine building at TPI-1 dropped off rapidly with the higher flow rates. Figure 1 shows the pressure at the instrument air header interface at various flow
'ates.
These results indicated two initial problems:
- 1) The regulators weren't providing the proper flow to establish the 82-86 PSIG out at the low press nitrogen header.
- 2) There was a considerable pressure drop being caused in the piping from the regulators to the temporary gage in the turbine building.
From the results above, engineering decided to rerun the test and additionally record the nitrogen pressure upstream of the low,pressure nitrogen regulators at the PI-42. This would indicate if there was a system design problem (i.e.,
Item 1, the vaporizer and/or piping couldn't supply the proper quantity of nitrogen at the desired pressure with the regulators wide open} or that regulators were either sized wrong and/or set incorrectly. For Item 2, and NED engineers evaluated the piping configuration from the regulators to T-Mod setup and determined that the check valve 2IAN-V056 contained a spring which could be the cause for the high pressure drop experienced during testing. The results from the particulate samples indicated more particles greater than the 3 micron level than we would like to see in the instrument air system.
H-,l
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS TEST 2 Procedure Ro.: 73TI-9IA02, Rev. 0 05/17/89 The low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header test was set up to observe the performance of the nitrogen system with the spring from check valve 2IAN-V056 removed. T-Mod 2-89-IA-018 remained installed to support this gathering of data as per the test instruction. The internal spring was removed from check valve 2IAN-U056 per EER 89-IA-007 and T-Mod 2-89-IA-023.
The actual test was to throttle temporary valve TV-3 to establish flow rates of 300, 400, 500, 700, and QOO standard cubic 'feet per minute. Pressures were recorded both at the nitrogen skid (at the low pressure nitrogen header PI-78 and PI-42 and at the high pressure nitrogen header PI-79) and at the temporar emporary modification manifold TPI-1 at two minute time intervals for each established flow rate. The nitrogen level was also recorded as was particulate samples.
The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators immediately dropped off to 94 psig with flow of 300 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates (the highest attainable consistent flow rate was 811-818 SCFM) the pressure dropped to 82-90 psig. The pressure in the turbine building at TPI-1 dropped off rapidly with the higher flow rates but .not as rapidly as test 1 with the spring installed in the check valve .(a 2-6 psxg psi increase occurred as a result of the spring removed). The pressure upstream of the pressure regulators PCV-49 and PCV-49A consistently was higher than the downstream pressure by 54-60 PSIG. This seemed to indicated that the low pressure nitrogen vaporizer and piping supplying the regulators PCV-49 and PCU-49A was doing its design function. This drew the conclusion that the regulators were the cause of the immediate pressure drop (under flowin owing conditions) observed at PI-78. Whether the regulators were either not sized correctly, not set properly, or faulty could not be determined, therefore, EED and NED engineers decided to rerun the test.
The results from the particulate samples still indicated more particles greater than the 3 micron level than we would like to see in the instrument air system. Figure 1 shows the pressure at the instrument air header at various flow rates.
TEST 3 Procedure No..: 73TI-9IA02, Rev. 1 05/19/89 This re'vision of the low pressure nitrogen (GA) backup supply to instrument air (IA) header test specifically tests the operability of the pressure control valves (PCV49, PCV49A and PV41) which supply the low pressure nitrogen header, allows the setting of these same valves, and tests the system under the same flow rates established during the previous tests (73TI-9IA02, Rev. 0).

13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM 'EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS The test allowed isolation- of the three pressure regulators in various sequences and allowed for the throttling of the bypass valve around the regulators PCV49 and PCV49A. 'he results indicated that a flow at over 1000 SCFM could be obtained from the low pressure N2 system with the high pressure.
nitrogen backup not supplying any nitrogen. Additionally, the pressure at TPI-1 was 78 PSIG with a flow of 953 SCFM. This extremely high flow was likewise obtained with the high pressure, nitrogen regulator PV41 not supplying any nitrogen. Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the interface with the instrument air system with the bypass valve throttled to maintain a pressure of 115 psig downstream of the regulator.
After obtaining this initial data, each regulator was isolated and cal'ibrated in accordance with the table below at a flow of approximately 200 SCFM.
l ) AS FOUND ) AS LEFT I RFGULATOR SETTING SETTING I I . I 2JGAiN-PCV49 98 PSIG 113 PSIG I I I 2JGAN-PCV49A 88 PSIG ) 105 PSIG I I I 2JGAN-PV41 85 PSIG I 100 PSIG I The original test at the various flow rates of 300, 400, 500, 700, and 900 SCFM was afterwards accomplished. The test results indicated that the nitrogen header just downstream of the regulators dropped off to 108 PSIG with a flow of 289 SCFM and with subsequent higher flow rates the pressure dropped off to 100 PSIG. Figure 2 shows the nitrogen system capacity and pressure at the instrument air header interface after the regulator adjustment. The upstream pressure of regulators PCV49 and PCV49A remained at 150-160 PSIG.
This indicates that the regulators, even though set under dynamic (flowing) conditions, still drifted down at the high flow rates from their original settings. The pressure at TPI-1 still dropped 16 PSIG at 700 SCFM and dropped 29 psig at 902 SCFM.
After the flow testing, samples were taken of the nitrogen stream and the particulate readings indicated that the quantity of particulates had decreased.
significantly from the previously two tests. There were only 3-5 particles greater than or equal to 5 microns but less than 10 microns . and 105-158 particles greater than or equal to 3 microns but less than 5 microns. The original high number of particles in the low pressure nitrogen system is attributed to the lack -of full flow purging the system during the startup phase.
Conclusions In conclusion, the three tests that were performed on the low pressure nitrogen system indicated . that the nitrogen skid upstream of the pressure regulators GAN-PCV-049, 049A and GA-PC-041 can satisfactorily deliver the anticipated flow of 1000 SCFM at 100 PSIG downstream of the regulator.
13-MS-A20 COMPRESSED GAS SYSTEM EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS However, the regulators and the components downstream of the regulators are not functioning correctly to deliver the maximum desired flow and pressure to meet the IA header demand without operator action.
Pressure regulator J-GATV-PCV'-49 currently has an outstanding work order (V.O.
) hich requires removal, inspection, repair and/or replacement of the valve as necessary to ensure that the valve maintains pressure downstream at 115 PSIG + 3 PSIG. The subject valve was adjusted per 73-9IA02, Rev. 1, satisfactorily at flow condition such that the pressure dovnstream is currently within the required range. The system was then tested to ensure proper operation. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform M.O. 00334794 as a restart item. -In addition, the subject valves are currently being evaluat e d or replacement with more efficient type regulators as outlined i belov.e ow.
After evaluating all the test data, the folloving are recommended for resolution of the lov obtained pressures:
For Short Term/Irrmediate Resolution In order to maintain system pressure of 85 PSIG at flov rates in excess of 700 SCFM (during a transient situation) an operator needs to be dispatched to the ow pressure control panel and to manually throttle bypass valve GAN-V260 to maintain a pressure of 100-120 PSIG at PI-78. Important attention must be made to the fact of not exceeding the high pressure setpoint of 125 PSIG so as to provide a safety margin between line operating pressure and the setting on the pressure safety valve (140 PSIG) and rupture disk (165 PSIG).
For Lone Term Total Resolution
- 1) Evaluate setting the regulators (PCV-49, PCV-49A, and PV-41) to a higher setpoint, which will give us a subsequently higher pressure at the high flow rates which had previously dropped off,
- 2) Evaluate procurement and installation of'egulators which are guaranteed not to drift drastically under various flowrates, and
- 3) Evaluate installing a spring with a small compression ratio., in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, in place of the removed spring from check valve IAN-V056 (EER-89-GA-007), and
- 4) Additionally, evaluate component by component the design pressure drop (at our desired flow/pressure conditions) of all valves and piping from the nitrogen regulators to the interface where nitrogen backs up instrument air and change out any component for which an enhancement is, possible.
- 5) Install a filter in the nitrogen line just upstream of the nitrogen/
instrument air interface to filter out particles greater than 3 microns.
S i te Mod 2 - SM-GA-003 has been developed to ins tall this fi 1 ter . This should be installed during an available outage, but this need not be a restart item as there is no specific safety consequences with the present setup. The modification will enhance the present setup and comply with the intent of Generic Letter 88-14 as it is ANPP's position of complying in a timely manner with all the recommendations of the NRC.
