SAFETY ANALYSIS

The safety significance of this event was minimal. A reactor scram with a loss of the main condenser is an analyzed event. Reactor level and pressure control were maintained using RCIC and the safety relief valves.

High pressure core spray was operable throughout the event.

E.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The personnel involved in the event were coached in accordance with Exelon processes.

LOP-CW-10 will be revised to include Cautions in the forefront of the applicable sections to close the waterbox manways prior to attempting to dewater, and to clarify that Attachment B is to be used for any manual operation of the waterbox isolation valves.

The waterbox isolation valve seats will be inspected and cleaned or replaced as required at the next Unit refueling outage.

F.

PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES

A search identified no previous occurrences within the past 10 years of a reactor scram caused by a condenser pit high water level trip of the CW pumps.

G.

COMPONENT FAILURE DATA

There were no component failures associated with this event.
