These events are combined into one LER in accordance with the guidance procided in NUREG 1022 (Supplement No.1)as"similar events that are part of the same activity or test program." At the time of the events the Plant was in a shutdown condition for the annual maintenance and refueling outage.The events are described as follows: 2)On June 17, 1989 at 1222 hours0.0141 days <br />0.339 hours <br />0.00202 weeks <br />4.64971e-4 months <br />, the inboard Residual Heat Removal (RHR)Shutdown Cooling Supply Valve (RHR-V-9)automatically isolated during excess flow check valve testing.The root cause of this event is procedural inadequacy in that the procedure did not caution against increasing pressure to a value that would cause the RPV high pressure isolation actuation.

Plant Operators were in the process of increasing reactor pressure by raising vessel level with water from the Control Rod Drive (CRD)System.When RPV pressure reach 122 psig, a Reactor Recirculation (RRC)System pressure switch actuated and, by design,'HR-V-9 closed which isolated RHR Shutdown Cooling.<<On June 18,'1989 at 1045 hours0.0121 days <br />0.29 hours <br />0.00173 weeks <br />3.976225e-4 months <br />, during the performance of excess flow check valve testing, a Reactor Protection System (RPS)UAR half-scram and a High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS)Diesel Generator (DG-3)start occurred due to a pressure transient which affected several reactor vessel level instruments.

The pressure transient was causea.when a Plant Instrument and Control (ISC)Technician inadvertently opened the wrong valve during performance of the procedure.

The root cause of this event is procedural inadequacy in that the procedure did not list the corresponding drain (NRC Form 365 (8 83I NRC Form 366A (9%31 LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REOULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED OMB NO 3150M(04 EXPIRES: 8/31/88 FACILITY NAME (II DOCKET NUMBER (2)LER NUMBER (6)EEOVENTIAL.c~.(F 5, II NVMEER REVISION NVMEER PACE (3)Washin ton Nuclear Plant-Unit 2 TEXT ill more FPeoe/8 ver/IvtvevL rrre edd/0'ovM///RC Form J6/tv(3l I IT(0 5 0 0 0 3 9 7 8 9-0 2 5 0 0 0 2 OF Abstract (cont'd)valves required to test specific excess flow check valves, and instead relied upon the ability of the field technicians to trace the instrument tubing from the instrumentation to the drain valves.As a result, the I&C Technicians opened the drain valve associated with the opposite side (high)of instrument MS-LT-27 instead of the low side.This caused a lowering in the pressure to instruments connected to two separate containment penetrations and resulted in the isolations and actuations.

3)On June 18, 1989 at 1814 hours0.021 days <br />0.504 hours <br />0.003 weeks <br />6.90227e-4 months <br />, the inboard Residual Heat Removal (RHR)Shutdown Cooling Supply Valve (RHR-V-9)again isolated on a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV)high pressure signal during excess flow check valve testing.The root cause of this event is procedural inadequacy in that the procedure did not explicitly state the impact of isolating instrument MS-PT-51A, nor did it provide a clear caution statement directing that the Control Room Operators be alerted that MS-PT-51A was isolated and pressure indication impaired.In accordance with the procedure, Plant I&C Technicians had valved out MS-PT-51A in order to test Excess Flow Check Valve PI-EFC-X114.

When the instrument was valved out of service, the pressure at the transmitter was trapped and the indication

-in the Control Room stayed at that pressure.Because the indicated-pressure remained constant, Plant Operators had no reason to vent the reactor vessel pressure during the test.As a result, eventually reactor pressure reached a point high enough to trip a Reactor Recirculation (RRC)pressure switch which, by design, closed RHR-V-9 and isolated RHR Shutdown Cooling.Immediate corrective action consisted of resetting the isolations and actuations and restoring systems to service, and (after the third event)suspending excess flow check valve testing until a management team could investigate and develop a plan to prevent further problems.Further corrective actions consist of revising the proceaure to identify the consequences of each instrument removed from service, and performing an evaluation of RHR Shutdown Cooling isolations which have occurred.These events posed no threat to the health and safety of either the public or Plant personnel.

These events are combined into one LER in accordance with the guidance provided in NUREG 1022 (Supplement No.1)as"similar events that are part of the same activity or test program." At the time of the events the Plant was in a shutdown condition for the annual maintenance and refueling outage.The events are described as follows: NRC FORM 386A (9 831~0~8~CPor 1988-820 889 00020 NRC Form 388A (943)LICENSEE EVENT REPORT{LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED OMS NO.3)80-0)04 EXPIRES: 8/31/(8 FACILITY NAME (1)OOCKET NUMBER (3)LER NUMBER (8)::4 SEOUENTIAL p4 NUMBER IALS REVISION NUMBER PAGE (3)Washin ton Nuclear Plant-Unit 2 0 5 0 0 0 3 9 7 8 9 0 2 5 0 0 0 3 TEXT/I/more specs Is reqrreed, Iree eddrdooelHRC

The pressure transient was caused when a Plant Instrument and Control (I8C)Technician inadvertently opened the wrong valve during performance of the procedure.

Excess flow check valve testing is accomplished by isolating all instruments utilizing the containment penetration associated with the excess flow check valve being tested.When the instrumentation is isolated, the drain valve for the penetration is opened and both drain flow and Control Room excess check flow valve position indications are observed.The Test Director in the Control Room verifies indication of valve closure and the I&C technician verifies that the flow of water to the drain has stopped.A closed indication and significant flow decrease indicate a successful test.At the time of the event, Excess Flow Check Valve PI-EFC-X72A was being tested.The I&C Technicians had valved out the instruments associated with containment penetration X72A.These instruments were MS-LT-27 and RFW-DPT-17.

Instrument MS-LT-27 is a differential pressure instrument having two sensing lines (high and low), and two drain lines associated with two different ,containment penetrations.

The procedure required that the I&C technician open the drain valve associated with the side of MS-LT-27 connected to penetration X72A.However, the procedure did not list the valves necessary to test specific excess flow check valves, nor did it differentiate between'igh and low side.NRC FORM SSBA (9431 AVAST CPOr 1988 530-589r000)0 NRC Form 36BA (943)LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REOULATORY COMMISSION APPROVEO OMS NO.3150&)04 EXPIRES: 8/31/88 FACILITY NAME ()I COCKET NUMBER (3)LER NUMBER (6)"SEOUENTIAL NUMBER REVISION NUMBER PACE (3)Washin ton Nuclear Plant-Unit 2 o 3 9 7 8 9 0 2 5-000 4o'EXT/l/mare e/rece/e rer)rr/red, ceo eddlrr'aae////IC Farm 3684'e/((7)3)As a result, the I8C Technicians opened the drain valve associated with the opposite side (high)of MS-LT-27 instead of the low side.The drain valve that was opened is associated with penetration X110 and is connected to other level instrumentation.

When the valve was opened, it caused a lowering i'n the pressure to the, instruments connected to that penetration.

Penetration X110 is also the variable leg of instrument MS-LIS-24C which tripped at the Reactor ,Level-3 setpoint and caused the RPS, Division 1, half-trip.

In addition, two other instruments (MS-LIS-31B and MS-LIS-31D) connected to penetration X110 share another penetration (X112: reference leg)with NS-LIS-24C and MS-LIS-100B

'hich were affected by the event.The pressure disturbance on penetration X110 was transmitted through the bellows of MS-LIS-24C and MS-LIS-100B to penetration X112.As a result, all of the instruments connected to penetration X112 were affected by this event.Instruments MS-LIS-31B and NS-LIS-31D were affected enough to trip at their Reactor Level-2 (-50U)setpoint which caused the HPCS Diesel to start (and attain rated speed)and the HPCS injection valve (HPCS-V-4) to open.As a precautionary measure, the HPCS pump (HPCS-P-1) motor had previously been placed out of service and, as a result, no HPCS injection occurred.On June 18, 1989 at 1814 hours0.021 days <br />0.504 hours <br />0.003 weeks <br />6.90227e-4 months <br />, the inboard Residual Heat Removal (RHR)Shutdown Cooling'Supply Valve (RHR-V-9)again isolated on a Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV)high pressure signal during excess flow check valve testing.As during the previous event (June 17, 1989), closure of RHR-V-9 isolated RHR Shutdown Cooling.During this event, RHR Shutdown Cooling, Loop B, was in service.In accordance with the procedure, Plant I8C Technicians valved out the instruments associated with containment penetration in order to test Excess Flow Check Valve PI-EFC-X114.

One of the instruments connected to penetration X114 is MS-PT-51A which provides the reactor steam dome pressure to instruments NS-LR/PR-623A and NS-PI-9 in the main Control Room.When NS-PT-51A was valved out of service, the pressure at the transmitter was trapped and.the indication in the Control Room stayed at that pressure until the transmitter was valved back into service after the event.Control Room Operators were controlling reactor pressure by blowing down excess water provided by the Control Rod Drive (CRD)System whenever the pressure in the vessel approached 110 psig.Because the Control Room-indicated pressure remained constant, Plant Operators had no reason to vent the reactor vessel pressure.As a result, eventual'ly the reactor pressure reached a point high enough to trip RRC-PS-18 which closed RHR-V-9 and isolated RHR Shutdown Cooling.Immediate Corr ective Action June 17, 1989 (1222 Hours)~Control Room Operators'lowered RPV pressure, reset the RHR-V-9 isolation and opened the valve.At 1301 hours0.0151 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.950305e-4 months <br />, RHR Shutdown Cooling was restored.NRC FOAM Sdda (9 83)'II~6~CPOr)966$30$69 000)0 NRC Form 388A (84)3)LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLFAR REOULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED OMB NO.3160&10&EXPIRES: 8/31/88 FACILITY NAME (1)DOCKET NUMBER (2)YEAR LER NUMBER LB)S&OV&NZIAL NVM&R R&VISION NVMS&R PACE (3)Washin ton Nuclear Plant-Un'EXT Ilf more sosse Is requkerL use aAIIEoosl HRC Form 3884'sl (12)0 5 0 0 0 OF 2)June 18, 1989 (1045 Hours)~Control Room Operators reset the RPS RAR half-scram and HPCS actuation signals.By 1108 hours0.0128 days <br />0.308 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.21594e-4 months <br />, the HPCS Diesel Generator was secured and restored to standby status.3)June 18, 1989 (1814 Hours)~.Control Room Operators lowered RPV pressure, reset the RHR-V-9 isolation and opened the valve.At 1845 hours0.0214 days <br />0.513 hours <br />0.00305 weeks <br />7.020225e-4 months <br />, RHR Shutdown Cooling was restored.~As directed by the Assistant Plant Manager, excess flow check valve testing was suspended and a management team assigned to investigate and develop a plan to prevent further problems.Further Evaluation and Corrective Action A.Further Evaluation l.All three events are reportable under 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv) as"an event or condition that resulted in manual or automatic actuation of any Engineered Safety Feature (ESF).U 2.There were no structures, systems or components that were inoperable at the start of these events that contributed to the events.3.The root causes of these events are as follows: a)June 17, 1989 Event~Procedural Inadequacy:

The procedure governing the excess flow check valve surveillance testing did not caution against increasing pressure to a value that would cause the RPV high pressure isolation actuation.

The procedure specified a minimum pressure (100 psig)but did not identify a range of allowable pressures.

In addition, Control Room Operators were aware of the Technical Specification Trip Setpoint of 125 psig but did not realize that, due to instrument inaccuracies and head corrections, the trip could occur at indicated pressures below 125 psig.A review of, the administratively-acceptable trip value for RRC-PS-18B indicated an acceptable trip value as low as 114 psig.Had Plant Operators been provided with either a pressure band within which to perform the test, or a caution against increasing pressure above a specified value, this event would not have occurred.NRC FORM SSISA IB 83)*0 S Ceor 1988 520 589 00010

The procedure di d not 1 i st the corresponding drain valves required to test specific excess flow check valves, and instead relied upon the ability of the field technicians to trace the instrument tubing from the instrumentation to the drain valves.Had the drain valves been positively identified by tag number in the procedure, the need to trace tubing to the correct valve would have been eliminated and this event would not have occurred.c)June 18, 1989 (1814 Hours)Event~Procedural Inadequacy:

The procedure did not explicitly state the impact of isolating MS-PT-51A, nor did it provide a clear caution statement directing that the Control Room Operators be alerted that MS-PT-51A was isolated and pressure indication impaired.While the Test Director was aware that MS-PI-9 was being used by the Control Room Operators to monitor reactor pressure, it was not obvious that MS-PI-9.input comes from MS-PT-51A.

At the point where MS-PT-51A is isolated in the procedure, there is a caution to,"Inform the Control Room Operator that pressure indication for reactor vessel leakage test is affected PPM 7.4.0.5.38.U Because there were no leakage tests in progress at the time, the Test Director did not specifically inform the Control Room Supervisor of this instrument isolation.

A contributing factor was that a verbal agreement had been established whereby the Test Director would inform the Control Room Supervisor whenever the technicians were moving to the next valve.In the case of PI-EFC-X114, this was not done.However, had the caution statement specifically stated that pressure indication on MS-PI-9 would not be available during testing of PI-EFC-X114 (and to alert the control room),'this event would not have occurred.B.Further Corrective Action 1.June 17, 1989 Event~The procedure was modified to inform the Shift Manager that high reactor pressure (above 125 psig)would cause an RHR Shutdown Cooling isolation and a recommendation to control pressure at less than 125 psig was included.In addition, the limit for the minimum pressure required was reduced from 100 psig to 85 psig.~In addition, the procedure, was modified to provide a pressure band (85-110 psig)to avoid the possibility of a trip at an indicated valve below 125 psig.NRC FORM 388D (9 83)~O.S, CPOe IS88-828-SSO OOO)n NRC Form 38SA (943)LICENSEE EVE T REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S, NUCLEAR REOULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED OMB NO.3)50&104 EXPIRES: S/3)ISS FACILITY NAME (I)DOCKET NUMBER (2)LER NUMBER (6)nj SEOVENTIAL

5.An overall evaluation of the RHR Shutdown Cooling isolations which have-occurred is currently being performed by the Plant Technical and Nuclear Safety Assurance Groups.The generic issues associated with those RHR Shutdown Cooling isolations which occurred during the recent maintenance and refueling outage will be addressed in this evaluation.

The evaluation is nearing completion and an internal formal report will be issued.Safety Si nificance There is no safety significance associated with these events.For the loss of RHR Shutdown Cooling events, Shutdown Cooling was isolated for 39 minutes (June 17, 1989)and 31 minutes (June 18, 1989)respectively, well within the time frame allowed by the Technical Specifications.

Regarding the HPCS Diesel start, no Plant condition warranting the ESF actuation actually existed and the HPCS actuations occurred as designed.Accordingly, these events posed no threat to the health and safety of either the public or Plant personnel-.

Similar Events There have been several events associated with the loss of RHR Shutdown Cooling;however, none with the same root cause (i.e., procedural inadequacies during excess flow check valve testing).NRC FORM 388a (9 33)'V.S~CPOI)088 820-880 00010 NRC Form 366A (84)3)LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION U.S.NUCLEAR REOULATORY COMMISSION APPROVEO OM8 NO.3150M(04 EXPIRES: 8/31/88 FACILITY NAME (1)OOCKET NUMBER (3)YEAR LER NUMBER (6)M4r SEOVSNTIAL
