Previous Similar Events

A review of LERs and corrective action program condition reports for the past three years identified the following similar event at BSEP.

Nuclear Condition Report (NCR) 135131 On August 18, 2004 at 2138 EST, during power ascension following a shutdown initiated by a loss of offsite power, the presence of a condenser tube leak was observed when elevated chloride levels from the 1A North waterbox (i.e., 50 ppb) and the condensate discharge header (i.e., 13.7 ppb) were recorded. A Unit 1 downpower to 53% was made to identify the location of the leak and perform immediate corrective actions in the form of plugging 95 tubes identified with missing plugs. The long term corrective action of the NCR as a result of this event was to generate a preventive maintenance task to tighten the tube plugs each refueling outage. This has been determined to be an inadequate corrective action.
