On 11/8/90, a resident NRC inspector discovered the bottle pressure for the compressed Hitrogen (N?) gas cylinder that suppl.ies backup gas pressure to the Air Operated ( A0)-2519, "Drywt il tr.d Torus inlet N2 Purge" valve operator and boot seal to be less than the acceptable value spccified in the daily surveillance test. A review of the completed surveillance tests indicated that the leak rate appears to have increased above the allowable limit in May 1990. Tech Spec 3.7.0.2 should have been entered and the appropriate Limiting Condition for Operation taken when the leak rate first exceeded allowable limits. The cause of the event was due to procedure deficiencies. No actual safety consequences occurred as a result of this event. The boot seal for A0-2519 was inflated during the entire event by the normal instrument air system. The backup N2 supply was available for the redundant inboard containment isolation valves in this penetration during the event. The leak was repaired. The surveillance test was temporarily changed to provide clear operability criteria. Two previous similar LERs were identified.

'This report is required per 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(1)(B) as a result of a condition prohibited by Tech Specs.
Unit Conditions at Time __of Event Unit 2 was in the RUN mode at 98% of rated thermal reactor power. There were no systemst structures, or components that were inoperable that contributed to this evont.
Description of Event On 11/8/90, a resident NRC inspector discovered the bottle pressure for the compressed Nitrogen (N2)
Operated (AO)-2519 (Ells: gas cylinder that supplies backup gas pressure to the A boot seal to be less than the acceptable value specified in the daily surveillance -
test. The Shift Supervisor (Utility, Licensed) was notified and the bottle was replaced. Due to the' leakage rate, the valve was declared inoperable and Tech Spec 3.7.0.2 Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) vias entered for an inoperable containment isolation valve. The LCO remained in effect until modification work on A0-2519 was complete. The leak was repaired and the LC0 was exited on 11/12/90.
A review of the completed surveillance tests indicated that the leak rate appears to have increased above the allowable limit in May 1990. Tech Spec 3.7,0.2 should have been entered and the appropriate Limiting Condition for Operation taken when the leak rate first exceeded allowable limits. The daily surveillance of bottle pressures instructs the operator to install a fresh N2 bottle and notify the System Engineer when bottle pressure drops below 1300 psig. The 1300 psig pressure criteria is based on a leak rate that ensures the the bottle could supply boot seal pressure for 20 days following design basis LOCA with a seismic event or a loss of off-site power.
Cause of Event The cause of the event was procedure deficiencies in that clear direction is not provided to the shif t in the daily-surveillance test for determination of operability of the valve. The surveillance test criteria concentrated on bottle pressure and not on the actual leak rate.
A contributing cause is personnel error. The Shift is directed by the surveillance test to call the System Engineer by the following working day after a N2 bottle is replaced. This information was not being forwarded to the System Engineers. If the System Engineers had been notified of the increased frequency of bottle replacements, the leakage problem may have been addressed.
Another contributing cause is that the importance of loss of N2 bottle supply on A0 valve operability was not clearly understood by the shift. The backup N2 system is l
not described in Tech Specs. An Engineering document exists which determined that
, the gas bottles are required to provide a 20 day supply of N2 to the valve boot seals j in the event of a loss of the normal air supply. This document, in the form of a 4 ,s. ctm 1969 540 %89 900'#

Analysis of Eve.n_t,
- No actual safety consequences occurred as a result of this event.
The valve operator and boot seal are supplied by the Instrument Air System (Ells:LD) under normal operation. In the event of a loss of the instrument air H2 issupplied i
from a compressed gas cylinder to maintain boot seal pressure for up to 20 days. The boot seal for A0-2519 was inflated during the entire event by the normal instrument '
air system. A0 2519 is an outboard containment isolation valve in the containment purge penetration. The backup N2 supply was available for the inboard containment isolation valves in the containment purge penetration during this event, except for the short period detailed in LER 2-90-032.
For a Design B. asis LOCA with a seismic event or a loss of off-site power, the normal instrument air supply to the A0 would be lost, and the A0-2519 boot seal would be supplied by the gas cylinder to maintain containment integrity (EEIS JM). Historical data indicates that the leakage past the deflated boot seal would be within 10 CFR 50
-App J and Tech Spec limits.
Corrective Actions ,
The leak was repaired. The surveillance test was temporarily changed to provid:
clear operability criteria. The Operators have been informed of the significance of N2 bottles and associated operability concerns. System Engineers will review the surveillance test data weekly in order to identify increased leakage which may result in exceeding the-20 day requirement.
Modification 1316 is scheduled to be installed during the upcoming Unit 2 Refueling ,
Outage (1/91) This modification replaces the backup bottles with nitrogen supplied directly from the Tontainment Atmospheric Dilution System. If the daily N2 bottle Surveillance is still required following the modification it will be revised to include a per-day leak rate acceptance criteria and clear operability criteria.
The lack of awareness of the JC0 indicates a need for program improvements. Existing JCOs will be reviewed for required procedure revisions and training issues. A tracking mechanism will be established for action items resulting from JCOs.
Previous Similar Events i Two. previous similar LERs were identified. LER 2 80-030/1T-0 involved a' potentia'l
, loss of primary containment involving the Backup Nitrogen System. In this event the L backup N2 supply valve was found closed. No corrective action was taken other than 1 reestablishing H2 supply. Therefore, the corrective actions taken would not have prevented-this event. LER 2-90 032 involved a leak in the backup N2 supply.
Corrective actions involved revision of the surveillance test to better address valve operability. Since only 2 days separated this event and the one described in LER 2-90-032.-the corrective actions had not yet been implemented.
