==EVENT DESCRIPTION==
On November 26, 1979, local leak rate testing of the Main Steam isolation valves, procedure QTS 100-3, revealed that valves A0 2-203-l A, A0 2-203-2A, A0 2-203-IB and A0 2-203-28 had excessive leakage. The leak rates are 30.05 SCFH, 32 3 SCFH, 47 2 SCFH and 24.2 SCFH, respectively.
These leak rates exceed the 11.5 SCFH allowable limit as specified by Technical Specification 4.7.A.2.i.c.
All other MSIV's were leak tested satisfactorily. On November 27, 1979, the stroke of 2B valve was extended and the leak rate was found to be 8.1 SCFH, which was within the limit.
VI.
PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE OCCURRENCE:
In the event of a steam line break outside the primary containment, the total leakage possible through the "A" and "B" steam lines would be 30.0 SCFH and 24.25 SCFH respectively.
The excessive leakage rate did not in.any way render the MSIV's inoperable.
Upon receipt of a Group i isolation signal, these valves would have closed in the required times and performed the isolation function. Therefore, the safety implications of this occurrence are minimal.
Vll.
 
==CAUSE==
Upon disassembly of the A0 2-203-IA main steam isolation valve, an uneven surface on the main seat was observed. A slight amount of erosion was' also found on the pilot disc.
The A0 2-203-1B and 2A main steam isolation valves were also found to have roughened surfaces on the main seats.
Vill.
 
==CORRECTIVE ACTION==
Main steam isolation valve A0 2-203-1A was disassembled; a new pilot disc was installed, and the main seat was relapped.
Valves A0 2-203-1B and 2A were also relapped to eliminate the uneven surfaces on the main seats. After reassembly, valves A0 2-203-1 A, IB, and 2A were retested and found to have a i
satisfactory leak rate of 1.2 SCFH for "A" steam line and 3 5 SCFH for "B" steam line. These valves are manufactured by Crane Company.

==EVENT DESCRIPTION==
On November 25, 1979 Unit Two was shutdown for a refueling and maintenance outage. While local leak rate testing the main steam drain line valves on November 26, the through-seat leakage of valve M0-2-220-2 was found to be excessive.
The as found leak rate was 26.0 SCFH which exceeded the Technical Specification Appendix J limit of 18.36 SCFH. A pressure decay method was used to determine this leak rate using procedure QTS 100-1.
This valve is manufactured by the Crane Valve Company.
VI.
PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE OCCURRENCE:
The main steam line drain valves are part of Group One isolation protection system, which is designed to minimize leakage of steam from the drywell should a main steam line rupture.
Because the two valves in series isolate the main steam line drain, the leakage from the drywell would have remained minimal.
The redundant MO 2-220-1 valve had an as-found leak rate of 1.72 SCFH. Further, these valves are usually closed during power operation and are opened during startup and shutdown to remove condensation from the main steam lines.
Vll.
 
==CAUSE==
Upon disassembly of the M0 2-220-2 valve, the seating surface showed minor signs of steam cutting.
Vill.
 
==CORRECTIVE ACTION==
The seating surface of the valve was lapped.
The stem packing was also replaced as part of routine maintenance.
The final combined leak rate measurement was 8.45 SCFH. This valve has had a seat repair cnce previously.

==EVENT DESCRIPTION==
On February 4, 1980, while performing Local Leak Rate Test, procedure QTS 100-12, the volume bounded by valves M0-2-1001-34B, MO-2-1001-36B, and M0-2-1001-37B was found to leak in excess of the allowable limit for any one valve as specified in Section 4.7.A.2.1 of the Technical Specifications.
The leak rate was found to be approximately 182 SCFH.
To determine which valves were leaking, each valve was tightened down manually using the hand wheel while the test volume remained pressurized.
From this i t was found that manually tightening the M0-2-1001-368 valve reduced the leakage to an allowable limit. However, because the valve needed to be tightened excessively to reduce the leakage, it was concluded that the valve would not seat properly even under the maximum torque that could be supplied by the valv-motor. Work Request No. QO3352 was issued to repair the valve.
VI.
PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE OCCURRENCE:
Because the redundant RHR "A" containment cooling loop was fully operable at all times, and the associated valves were found to have acceptable leakage, the overall safety of the system was never affected. The ability of the RHR system to provide adequate reactor and containment cooling during an accident as designed without the use of one of the cooling loops and other additional components has been documented in the FSAR in section 5.2 3 3 Because the MO-2-1001-34B valve located upstream of the M0-1001-36B valve had an apparent acceptable leak rate, proper line isolation would have occurred if necessary.
V11.
 
==CAUSE==
The cause of the failure of the MO-2-1001-36B valve has been designated as equipment failure. The valve disc was found to be slightly warped and corrosion was found on the valve seat.
The disc guide pin was also bent. These factors contributed to'the inability of the valve to sest properly. The M0 1001-36B valve is a 14 inch, 390 pound, motor operated gl6be type valve that is manufactured by Crane Company.
 
Vill.
 
==CORRECTIVE ACTION==
The valve was taken apart-and the valve disc and seat were cleaned and remachined to provide a proper fit. The guide pin was removed., straightened and rewelded into place in the valve. The torque switch on the limitorque operator was adjusted and the valve was retested. The final leak rate was found to be 3 0 SCFH which is less than the allowable 18.36 SCFH leak rate in the Technical Specifications.
There have been two previous occurrences in 1976 and 1977 related to this voume, but were both related to the M0-1-1001-37A valve.

==EVENT DESCRIPTION==
On December 5, 1979, a local leak rate test of valves A0 2-1601-23, 24, 60, 61, 62, and 63, revealed an excessive leak rate of 27 SCFH. Technical Specification 4.7.A.2.! requires a leak rate for any one isolation valve of less than 18.36 SCFH.
These valves are located on the drywell-suppression chamber vent system.
VI.
PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE OCCURRENCE:
During testing of this drywell-suppressi-a chamber vent volume, it was determined that the major tior of the leakage was attributable to the A0 2-1601-23 valve.
Since A0 2-1601-63 and A0 2-1601-24 did not exhibit signs of excessive leakage, and are the second isolation valves in the vent lines, the total leakage through.these vent lines was less than 18.36 SCFH, and safe plant operation was not affected by this occurrence.
Vll.
 
==CAUSE==
The cause of this occurrence was component failure. When disassembled the A0 2-1601-23 valve disc was fcond to be off-center. The A0 2-1601-23 valve is an 18 inch butterfly valve manufactured by the Henry Pratt Co.
The A0 2-1601-61 and 62 valves are 2 inch globe valves manufactured by the Crane Company.
Vill.
 
==CORRECTIVE ACTION==
The disc for A0 2-1601-23 was recentered. The valve seats on A0 2-1601-61 and 62 were lapped. After these repairs, a successful local leak rate test was performed.
The measured leak rate was 18.0 SCFH.
