| Title | Degraded Condition Due to Emergency Service Water Failure |
| Event Description | Emergency Service Water "A" (ESW ) Pump failure resulted in inoperability of all Div 1 ECCS systems at 0150 on 05/21/04 [See event notification 40767]. A plant shutdown was initiated with mode 4 [cold shutdown] achieved at 0619 on 05/23/04. During the disassembly and inspection of ESW A pump, a failed coupling on the pump shaft was found to be the cause of the failure. An Operability Determination [OD] was requested on ESW B at 1330 on 05/24/04 since both pumps had the identical coupling design and the pumps had similar run times. At 1500, the Design Engineering Manager informed the control room that engineering could not return a completed OD within the allotted time that could justify continued ESW B operability. The control room Shift Manager than declared the ESW B pump inoperable. This results in a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function, specifically the removal of residual heat.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
