| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification 3.4.3, [Reactor Coolant System] Pressure and Temperature Limits, states, in part, that reactor coolant system pressure, reactor coolant system temperature, and reactor coolant system heatup and cooldown rates shall be maintained within the limits specified in the Pressure and Temperature Limits Report (PTLR). Section 2.1.2 of the PTLR specifies that the reactor coolant system shall be maintained within the parameters of Figure 2.1-1 of the PTLR, which specifies a minimum pressure of 0 psig. Required Action C.1 of Technical Specification 3.4.3 specifies that with the reactor coolant system parameters outside the limits of the PTLR, restore the parameters to within the limits immediately. Contrary to the above, on May 8, 2011, and March 30, 2013, with the reactor coolant system parameters outside the limits of the PTLR, parameters were not restored to within the limits immediately. Specifically, the licensee drew a vacuum on the reactor coolant system to less than 0 psig to support filling operations but did not take action to immediately restore the reactor coolant system pressure to greater than or equal to 0 psig, as specified in the PTLR. The licensee placed this issue in the corrective action program as Condition Report 78920. The licensee performed Engineering Evaluation EER 92-BB-02 and determined that drawing a vacuum on the reactor coolant system would not result in excessive stresses for reactor coolant system structures, systems and components. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix G, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process, dated May 9, 2014, this issue screened to Green because it did not result in a loss of reactor coolant system barrier integrity. |
