During a review of IST Valve Program Test Data, the ISI Engineer discovered that the Boron Injection Tank Outlet Valves, 2-ICM-250 and 2-ICM-251, had- been returned to service following the 1989 Unit 2 Steam Generator Replacement Outage with seat leakage in excess of the established ASME Section XI leakage limits. The valves remained in service until August, 1990 when the Unit was shut down for refueling. During the outage, the valves were retested. Valve 2-ICM-250 was found to meet the leakage limit, while 2-ICM-251 was found to significantly exceed the limit. Subsequently, stem packing was replaced in both" valves. Both valves were then retested and found to be within leakage limits.

Allowing the valves to be returned to service following the 1989 outage, while being outside Section XI limits, was due to a procedural deficiency affecting,Section XI valves which were tested under the Containment Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT) procedure. Until this condition was discovered, the procedure only included acceptance criteria for the LLRT, which, in certain circumstancesl can be less restrictive than Section XI limits. The Unit 2 LLRT procedure has

, been revised to include the Section XI limits; the Unit 1 procedure is scheduled for revision prior to its next use.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence Unit-2 in Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown)'escri tion of Event During a review of the IST Valve Program Test Data, the ZSI Engineer discovered that Valves 2-ICM-250 (EIIS/ISV-JM) and 2-ZCM-251'EIIS/ZSV-JM) had been returned to service following the Unit 2 1989 Steam Generator Replacement Outage, with seat leakage in excess of the ASME Section XZ permissible leakage value of 600 sccm, as identified in the Second 10-Year Interval Long-Term Inservice Examination and Testing Plan for Class 1, 2, and 3 Systems and Components for D.C. Cook Plant, Unit 2. Valves 2-ICM-250 and 2-ICM-251 are the Boron Injection Tank Outlet Valves. Valve 2-ICM-250 was returned to service with a leakrate of 806.8 sccm and 2-ICM-251 was returned to service with a leakrate of 704.7 sccm.

The valves were in service from January of 1989 until they were retested during the next Refueling Outage in August of 1990. The August, 1990 tests revealed that 2-ZCM-250 had a leakrate of 289.4- sccm and .2-ICM-251 had a leakrate of 9466.9 sccm. Following replacement of the valve packing, 2-ICM-250 was returned to service with a 119.3 sccm leakrate. Following the replacement of the valve stem packing and torque switch adjustment of the motor operator, 2-1CM-251 was returned to service with a leakrate of 163.5 sccm. Valves ICM-250 and 251 are double disc gate valves. The leakrate is measured by pressurizing the valve body between the seats. Any valve stem packing leakage is included in the leak rate measurement.

A review of the test data prior to the 1989 tests revealed that acceptable test results were obtained in June, 1988. Valve 2-ICM-250 had a leakrate of 219.0 sccm and 2-ICM-251 had a leakrate of 239.3 sccm. Between the 1988 and the 1989 tests, the unit was in a Steam Generator Replacement Outage.

The ISI Engineer was in the process of assuming the ZST Valve Program duties, for the valves in the Containment Local Leakrate (LLRT) Test Procedure and identified this discrepancy while entering the test data into the IST Valve Program. Credit was taken for the Section XI reviews as being part of the LLRT, without specific Section XZ acceptance criteria in the procedure. The LLRT Procedure is identified on-site as the Type B and C Leakrate Test (1 and 2 EHP 4030 STP.203) and fulfills the requirements of 10CFR Appendix-J and Technical Specifications Type B and C Testing.

Cause of Event At the time of this event, specific procedural requirements were not included in the appropriate test proceduze which would detect that the ASME Section XI Gui.deline and Maximum Permissible Leakrate Limits were not exceeded. The Type B and C Leakrate Test Procedures (1 and 2 THP 4030 STP.203) did not fully implement the requirement for analysis of leakage rates and the corrective action requirements of Paragraphs IWV-3426 and 3427(a). The B and C Test Engineer's primary concern was fulfillingTechnical Speci.fication and 10CFR50, Appendix-J requirements. An independent review of the test data was not performed for Section XI purposes. The Test Engi.neer was also required to perform the Section XI reviews for these particular valves.

The excessive leak rates for 2-ICM-250 and 251 is attributed to packing leakage. Following replacement of the packing, acceptable leakrates were obtained.

nal sis of Event Valves 2-ICM-250 and 2-ZCM-251 have two safety functions. On a safety injection signal the valves open to allow the charging pumps to inject make-up water to the Reactor Coolant System (RCS).. The valves may also be zequired to be closed to establish Containment Integrity. When used for Containment Isolation, the maximum seat leakage is determined by the Containment Local Leakrate Test (LLRT), which is conducted to satisfy 10CFR50 Appendi.x-J Type C Testi.ng. The leakrate for all penetrations and valves subject to the Type =B and C Leakrate Test is required to be less than 0.6 La. The total Type B and C leakrate was 0.076 La, well below the 0.6 La limi.t, despite the leakage contribution of these valves.

This event was determined to be reportable per the requirements of 10CFR50.73, Paragraph (a)(2)(i)B as a condition prohibited by the Plant's Technical Specifications. The condition did not represent a significant threat to public safety since these valves were capable of performing their safety functions.

Corrective Actions The valve stem packing was replaced on both 2-ICM-250 and 251.

The Type B and C Leakrate Test Procedures (1 and 2 THP 4030 STP.203) are being revised to ensuze that the ASME Section XI reviews are completed prior to entering Mode 4, when Containment integzity and is required by Technical Specifications. 2 THP 4030 STP.203 has been revised 1 THP 4030 STP.203 is scheduled to be revi.sed by June 30, 1992, prior to its next use.

The ZSZ Program Engineer now performs an independent review of the Type C Test Data for those valves in the IST Valve Program. This review ensures that the Section XZ maximum permissible criteria and leakrate trending activities are satisfactorily completed. This duty was previously performed by the B and C Test Engineer whose primary concezn was fulfilli.ng Techni.cal Speci,fication and 10CFR50, Appendix-J requi.rements.
