| Title | Failure to Meet Licensing Basis for Staffing the Ssf in the Event of a Confirmed Plant Fire |
| Description | Oconee Unit 1 Operating License DPR-38, Oconee Unit 2 Operating License DPR-47, and Oconee Unit 3 Operating License DPR-55 Condition D provide, in part, that the licensee implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and as approved in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) dated April 28, 1983 and subsequent supplements. The licensees UFSAR commits to 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Sections 1II.G and 1II.L. Section lll.G.3 states that alternative shutdown capability should be provided where the protection of systems whose function is required for hot shutdown, does not satisfy the requirements of lll.G.2. Section 1II.L of Appendix R provides requirements to be met by alternative shutdown methods. Section lll.L.2.b states, in part, that The reactor coolant makeup function shall be capable of maintaining the reactor coolant level. . . within the level indication in the pressurizer in PWRs. Section llI.L.3 specifies that procedures shall be in effect to implement this capability. Contrary to the above, on February 8, 2004, the licensees procedures for a fire requiring SSF manning and activation would not assure that the reactor coolant makeup function would be capable of maintaining reactor coolant level within the indicated range of the pressurizer. Specifically, delaying the manning of the SSF until after the occurrence of a loss of function of the high pressure injection and component cooling or feedwater rather than manning the SSF immediately upon confirmation of a fire in the areas of concern may not preclude an extended loss of reactor coolant system inventory. This violation is associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding for Units 1,2 and 3. |
