Dear Sir / Madam:
Subject:
VIRGIL C. SUMMER NUCLEAR STATION (VCSNS), UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-395 OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-12 LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER 2016-003-00)
STEAM PROPAGATION DOOR DISCOVERED PROPPED OPEN Attached is Licensee Event Report (LER) 2016-003-00, for the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS). This report describes a condition and preliminary results from an event, discovered during routine operator rounds, where a steam propagation door to the 'C' Safety Related Chiller Room (DRIB/107) was discovered propped open without all required compensatory actions. The propped open door could have rendered both trains of Chilled Water nonfunctional if a High Energy Line Break (HELB) event occurred. This could have subsequently rendered both trains of High Head Safety Injection inoperable due to the loss of chilled water cooling to safety related room coolers. This report is submitted in accordance with 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(v)(D) and will be supplemented when results are finalized.
Should you have any questions, please call Mr. Bruce Thompson at (803) 931-5042.
Very truly yours, JMG/GAL/ts Attachment c:

3.0 SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE
The safety significance of this event will be provided in a supplemental report to this LER.
4.0 PREVIOUS OCCURRENCE No previous occurrence within the last three years.
5.0 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
The door was closed as the immediate action. The station issued Special Order 16-05 as an interim action to suspend propping open chiller room doors. The station initiated a preliminary assessment of the potential impacts due to steam propagation. The station conducted a walkdown of the steam barriers associated with the event. A detailed analysis will be completed to address the safety significance. Procedures will be reviewed for enhancement to minimize reassurance.
