| Title | Failure to Ensure Circuits associated with Alternate Shutdown Capability Free of Fire-induced Da |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very-low safety significance (Green) and associated NCV of the LaSalle County Station Operating License for the licensees failure to ensure that the alternate shutdown capability was independent of the fire area. Specifically, in the event of a fire in the control room, the alternate shutdown capability for 16 motor operated valves (MOVs) associated with the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) may be affected, and may not be available due to lack of breaker fuse coordination. Fire-induced failures could result in tripping valve power supply breakers prior to tripping the control power fuses for several motor operated valves, thereby, potentially imparing the operation of RCIC from the Remote Shutdown Panel (RSP). The licensee entered this issue into their Corrective Action Program and established compensatory measures, and added steps to the safe shutdown procedures to reset the affected breakers if needed. In addition, the licensee intended to perform plant modifications to replace or revise existing breakers settings to correct the issue. The inspectors determined that the issue was more than minor, because fire induced circuits could impair the operation of RCIC and complicated shutdown of the plant in the event of a fire in the control room. The finding affected the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone. The finding was determined to be of very-low safety significance based on a detailed risk-evaluation. This finding was not associated with a cross-cutting aspect because the finding was not representative of the licensees current performance. |
