Therefore, the responses for both violations are being combined into one discussion. Also, note that there are attached 7 charts (and an information sheet l for the charts) that represent levels and pressures at various times during the event; 6 figures that illustrate the physical relationships of the components of the reactor coolant system and the fluid levels at different stages of the event; and a figure showing the planned reactor coolant system water inventories for the ,

                                      ' different outage windows. At the time of the event, we were in outage window 5.

Descriotion and Narrative of the Event That involved the Violations l EVENT DESCRIPTION i' l Unit 2 was nearing the completion of a refueling outage and was in cold shutdown ! condition. On the night shift of 3/S/97, the decision was made to lower pressurizer l~ (PZR) level to <50% as required by 2D8, Filling and Venting the Reactor Coolant l System (RCS), in preparation for performing surveillance procedure (SP) -2083, Unit 2 Integrated Si test. At the time that this decision was made the RCS vent path (reactor vessel head & pressurizer) established by 2D8 had been isolated by the pre-test line up for testing SV-37096 under work order (WO) 9701175. In order to lower the pressurizer level an alternate vent path needed to be identified and established. An alternate vent path, that could be isolated from the control room, was identified and the isolation for replacing SV-37096 was revised to include valves that would establish the alternate vent path. When the isolation for WO 9701175 (included valves for the alternate vent path) was performed, one of the valves for establishing the alternate vent path was mistakenly left in the CLOSED position instead of OPEN as called for on the isolation and restoration (l&R). By not opening this valve the alternate vent path remained isolated. Thinking that the alternate vent path had been established the RCS was drained to lower the pressurizer level. With an inadequate vent path more water was drained from the RCS than what was indicated by the change in pressurizer cold cal level. After the draining was complete, Reactor Vessel Level Indication System (RVLIS) full range was observed to be indicating lower than what was expected for the indicated pressurizer level. From this observation it was suspected that a possible void existed in the reactor vessel head. On the night shift of 3/7/97, it was determined that one of the valves for establishing the attemate vent path had been incorrectly positioned the night before. Actions to restore the attemate RCS vent path were

evaluated and discussed and then implemented under the direction of control room personnel, i

An alternate vent path could not be decided on without additional information on the elevations of some of the vent piping and valves.

Because of the inadequate vent path the actual amount , drained, which was determined later, was greater than the amount indicated by l the change in pressurizer level. It was later determined that the actual amount  ! drained, by using the 21.5% increase in 21 CVCS HUT level, was 7245 gallons. RCS pressure was approximately 8 psig and was recognized to be lower than L what was expected (13-15 psig) at this time. However, pressure was thought to L be slowly increasing and was assumed it would return to the 13-15 psig range once the RCS retumed to atmospheric pressure. The control room operators l thought the lower pressure was caused by a drain rate that exceeded the vent l path capability. This was turned over to the on-coming crew at shift tumover.

It was decided to use the operator who had performed the isolation the night before because of his familiarity with the line 1 j up. A pre-job brief was held to ensure that the operator understood the plan for venting the reactor head using 2RC-8-31, Reactor Head Vent Flushing Valve. l The operator went into containment to vent the reactor head through 2RC-8-31. After hooking up a drain hose to the flushing valve and before opening the valve the operator contacted the control room to get instructions on what to do if air was drawn in through the valve. The control room operator informed him that air i shouldn't be drawn in because the pressurizer was vented to the containment  : l atmosphere. Thinking back to the isolation that he had performed the night before l (3/6/97), the operator in containment told the control room that he didn't think the i pressurizer was vented and that he would check the line up before opening 2RC-8-31. The operators check of the pressurizer vent line up found 2RC-8-16 in the i CLOSED position with a Hold Card calling for 2RC-8-16 to be held in the OPEN position. He informed the control room of what he had found and that he had made a mistake the night before when performing the isolation. The control room ' operators discussed this finding with the SS. The decision was made to slowly crack open 2RC-8-16. The control room operators expected pressurizer level to decrease and RCS pressure to increase when the valve was cracked open. The containment operator was told of the new plan and instructed to crack open the valve slowly while maintaining communications with the control room. l 20ii5 - (Chart 4 & 5)When 2RC-8-16 was cracked open the containment operator could hear air being drawn in through the vent valve and line. The control room operators observed pressurizer cold cal level start to slowly decrease.

l Corrective Steos That Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations

1. Revise 2DB (1DB) to include procedural guidance forlowering the pressurizer level. Include caution, precaution andlimitations that emphasizes maintaining a RCS vent path and guidance for suspected voids in the head based on RVLIS indications. This will be completed pdor to the next refueling outage.
2. Review other outage procedures that involve RCS draining and ensure they include procedural guidance for draining. This will be completed prior to the next refueling outage.
3. Evaluate and strengthen the method by which emergent work is reviewed and scheduled dudng outages to ensure the work is in accordance with the controlling outage procedures. This will be completed prior to the next refueling outage.
4. Revise the method the Shift Outage Coordinator communicates the effects of emergent work and outage pisnning decisions on work plans and schedules to shift management. Revise the ' Outage Shift Priorities' form to correspond to the new method. This will be completed prior to the next refueling outage.
5. Continue the effort on improving the use of self-checking within operations.
6. Re-enforce with shift supervision the importance of providing job performance guidance at the pre-job briefing and then tracking the progress / status of the l evolution. l l

l l 7. Conduct an overview of this event with operations ynsonnel. Include the l following as a minimum: l e use of all available indications (e.g., RVLIS, CVCS HUT Level) l e importance of maintaining the reactor vessel head and pressurizer vented when changing inventory of the RCS or when RVLIS is cut of service l o estimating how long it should take to drain a desired amount e how to estimate a drain rate using available indications e how parameters should respond (e.g., RCS pressure, RVLIS full & upper range) e the effects & indic.1tions of draining with an inadequate vent path IR97006.
