| Title | Rcic Steam Supply Failed Llrt |
| Event Description | Appendix J Local Leak Rate Testing [LLRT] of the RCIC Steam Supply failed the Combined Main Steam Isolation Valves leakage limit of 300 scfh. The Combined MSIV leakage limit includes MSIV'S, MSL Drains, HPCI Steam Supply and RCIC Steam Supply. The volume between RCIC Steam Supply valves could not be pressurized therefore, the Minimum Pathway leakage limit is considered to be exceeded.
This is also considered a failure of the Primary Containment Air Leakage Minimum Pathway leakage limit of 1.0 La. The identified degraded condition is reportable as a condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principle safety barriers being seriously degraded per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii) requiring an 8-hr ENS notification. The RCIC Steam Supply line was tested successfully approximately two years ago during the last refueling outage. The licensee will inform the NRC Resident Inspector.
At the time the original 8-hour ENS notification was made, it was declared that the Appendix J Local Leak Rate Test of the RCIC Steam Supply had failed the combined Main Steam Isolation Valves Minimum Pathway leakage limit of 300 scfh. The combined MSIV leakage limit includes MSIVs, MSL Drains, HPCI Steam Supply and the RCIC Steam Supply. The volume between the inboard and outboard RCIC Steam Supply valves could not be pressurized, therefore the Minimum Pathway leakage limit was considered to be exceeded. Subsequent to this event, during performance of an additional Local Leak Rate Test of the RCIC Steam Supply Penetration, it was demonstrated that the as-found Appendix J and combined MSIV Minimum Pathway leakage and the Primary Containment Air Leakage Minimum Pathway of 1.0 La were not exceeded as previously reported. The original Local Leak Rate Test was performed between the combination of two parallel inboard valves and the outboard valve. The subsequent test determined that the outboard isolation valve did not exceed Minimum Pathway criteria. The majority of the leakage was from the smaller inboard RCIC warm-up line isolation valve of the three RCIC Steam Supply valves. The post-maintenance test of the penetration measured leakage that was within acceptable limits. As such, the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principle barriers, was not significantly degraded. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified R1DO (B. McDermott). |
