PLATTEVILLE, COLORADO 80651 REPORT No. 50-267/ 80-49/03-X-1 -

Revised Final -

IDFE !FICATION OF CCCURRE' ICE:

During a routine surveillance calibration check, the setpoint of the PCRV rupture disc asse=bly, M-ll702, was found to be 326 psig. Since this set-point is higher than the 812 psig + 1* allevable by Fo rt 45 t. Vrain Techni-cal Specification LSSS 3.3.2(c), it is being reported per Fort St. Vrain Technical Specification AC 7.5.2(b)1.

EVENT DESCRIFTION : -

With the reactor shundevn and depressuri:ed for a maintenance shutdown per-iod, low set rupture disc, M-11702, was renoved from service for a schedule surveillance calibration bench test. The "as found" pressure setpoint was 326 psig. The acceptance cri:erion of LSSS 3.3.2(c) requires the set pres-sure to be 812 psig - 1" (304 psig to S20 psig).

Re'er :o Figure 1. Before the test gas pressure is applied, the cutter, 1 , is recoved and a special ring is installed to limit the travel of the 3elleville washers, .(]) . These washers snap over when the set pressure is reached. Adj ust ent or the set pressure is made by positioning of the threaded ring, 3 . When the set pressure is reached, the diaphragm and washers travel a few thc usandths of an inch, which produces an audible

" t huts . "

i CAUS E i

DESCRI?!!CN:

The rupture disc novement setpoint being out of tolerance was caused by. drift of the 3elleville washer operating point over the period since its last cali-l bration surveillance.

l 1

CORRECTIVE ACTION:

Further inves:igation of this occurrence revealed that the Belleville washers did not need adjust ent. -Two additional snap-over :ests demonstrated that

he rupture disc se: point was in tolerance.

No further corrective action is anticipated or required. _
