, . . ... .. ,. '* .. ;; . . ; ** 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

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.
