PRIMARY CONTAINMENT MEASURED LEAKAGE EXCEEDS THE ALLOWED LEAKAGE.
During routine scheduled LLRT (Local Leak Rate Testing) of Penetration X-214, HPCI (High Pressure Coolant Injection) Exhaust Discharge to the Torus, leakage was unable to be quantified. Additionally, of the two isolation check valves in the line, the licensee could not determine which one was leaking. As such, Primary Containment Allowed Leakage (La) is unable to be verified to be less than allowed.
The plant was in Mode 4 (Cold S/D) for a scheduled refueling outage with temperature being maintained between 130 and 145 degrees Fahrenheit and Primary Containment not required at the time of discovery. The plant will remain in cold shutdown until repairs are completed.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.

"On 3/2/03 at 0943 CST, Cooper Nuclear Station made an 8 hour 50.72 non-emergency notification to the NRC. This was done due to the failure of Local Leak Rate Testing (LLRT) involving the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) exhaust discharge to the Suppression Chamber. Leakage was unable to be quantified. Additionally, of the two isolation check valves in the line, testing was unable to determine which one was leaking.
"Based on indications of leakage during the LLRT, maintenance activities were started on one of the valves (HPCI-15CV). Upon removal of the HPCI-15CV bonnet it was noticed that the valve was not properly seated. Engineering is continuing to evaluate this condition. To facilitate continuing troubleshooting HPCI-15CV was manually closed by pushing the disk into the valve seat. The bonnet was re-installed and the LLRT was repeated. The other check valve in this line (HPCI-44) was not touched or manipulated during the period of time between successive LLRT's.
"The results of the repeat LLRT were well within acceptance criteria limits demonstrating that HPCI-44 was properly performing its containment isolation function. Since HPCI-44 was working properly, the conditions that required an 8 hour 50.72 notification no longer apply. The penetration was always capable of performing the containment isolation function.
"The NRC Resident Inspector was notified."
