| Title | Reactor Power Being Reduced Due to Entering Ts 3.0.3 Because of Inopeable Recirc Vent System |
| Event Description | At 1500 hours0.0174 days <br />0.417 hours <br />0.00248 weeks <br />5.7075e-4 months <br /> the plant commenced reactor shutdown from 100% power for entering T.S. 3.0.3 due to both trains of the Emergency Recirc Vent System being declared inoperable. The reactor will be in mode 2 by 2000 hours0.0231 days <br />0.556 hours <br />0.00331 weeks <br />7.61e-4 months <br />, mode 3 by 0200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> on 10/03 and mode 4 by 0200 hours0.00231 days <br />0.0556 hours <br />3.306878e-4 weeks <br />7.61e-5 months <br /> on 10/04. If the problem is corrected, they will terminate the shutdown.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. HOO Note: see event 41084
Update to [Event] Notifications 41084 and 41085: At 1840 [EDT] on 10/02/04 it was determined that the apparent slow response times of the Control Room Emergency Recirculation [CRER] dampers was due to a malfunctioning relay in the initiation circuit, not due to failure of the dampers. The LCO actions associated with the CRER system were exited and the actions associated with the initiation instrument were entered. Therefore the plant is no longer required to shutdown per T.S. 3.0.3. The plant shutdown has been terminated. Plant power will be returned to 100%. The licensee has notified the NRC resident Inspector. Notified R3DO (Thomas Kozak).
At 1300 on 10/02/04, results of a surveillance indicated that dampers in both trains of the Control Room Emergency Recirculation System (CRERS) were slower than allowed by Technical Specifications (TS) requiring both trains of the CRERS to be declared inoperable. With both trains inoperable, Technical Specification 3.0.3 was entered which required a plant shutdown. The shutdown was commenced at 1500. This condition was reported as required in Event Notification 41085. Additionally, with both CRERS trains inoperable, this condition was determined to be reportable as a loss of safety function (accident mitigation) and was reported as required in Event Notification 41084. Subsequently, it was determined that the failure was the result of a defective time delay relay in the radiation monitor initiation circuit. Other inputs that would have caused the dampers to reposition in an accident were not impacted. The appropriate TS (3.3.7.1), for the radiation monitor, was entered and TS 3.0.3 was exited. The significant actions required by this TS were to restore the function within 7 days or place the system in emergency recirculation. It did not require entry into an action to shutdown. When this condition was identified, TS 3.0.3 was exited, the shutdown was terminated, and the plant was restored to full power. Since a TS required shutdown was not required, Event Notification 41085 is being retracted. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. NRC R3DO(Gardner) has been notified. |
