.hippingport, Pennsylvania Site Area Emergency ockets: 50-412 General Emergency X Not Applicable Jubject: BEAVER VALLEY UNIT 2 FORCED OUTAGE fn October 22, at 3:14 a.m. operators initiated a plant shutdown from 100 hercent reactor power due to continued reactor coolant system (RCS)
- eakage through the "B" pressurizer code safety valve to the primary
'elief tank (PRT). Minor PRT inleakage had been trended since August, but the leakrate inc: sased to approximately 0.5 gallons per minute arlier this week. ' erators initiated frequent PRT venting to maintain ormal PRT pressure While venting the PRT, oxygen concentration in the ante gas system app.aached the 2 percent Technical Specification limit
'crr waste gas transfer. Both the identified RCS leakrate and waste gas
'yntem oxygen concentrations currently remain within the technical pecification limits. Operators are reducing reactor power at 12 percent
.er hour and plan to place the plant in Mode 5 (cold shutdown) to perform
[epairs. Planned maintenance includes repair of the leaking code safety alve and two leaking pressurizer power operated relief valves which were solated previously.
'he resident inspectors have monitored licensee evaluation of the PRT nieakage since August and are on-site monitoring the plant shutdown. ,
'he contents of this PN have been communicated to the Pennsylvania, Ohio (nd West Virginia state governments.
