Title | Identification of Design and Operating Procedure Deficiencies Related to Appendix R Events |
Event Description | During a review of the dedicated shutdown procedure (20.000.18), several possible design and operating procedure deficiencies were identified affecting Appendix R events. BOP Battery Charger 2C-1 is relied upon to feed post fire emergency shutdown loads. It was determined that although a circuit breaker supplying power to battery charger 2C-1 was re-closed by procedure, an additional action was required to place the battery charger in service. The BOP battery charger 2C-1 contactor circuit logic requires the control switch first be returned to the off-reset position, before the contactor can be re-energized. That control switch and associated control wiring is located in the control room envelope that is evacuated in an Appendix R fire scenario. Furthermore, the dedicated shutdown logic does not isolate this control switch circuitry from cables in the fire affected zone which is a requirement of the Appendix R circuit design.
In addition to the same issues identified for battery charger 2C-1, it was determined that the dedicated shutdown procedure did not provide for closure of the circuit breaker feeding power to battery charger 2C1-2. Battery charger 2C1-2 is required to power 260VDC motor operated valves used by the standby feedwater system to provide reactor cooling water and to control reactor water level after a shutdown due to an Appendix R fire. For both of these problems, power would be initially supplied by the associated batteries, but the batteries are not sized to provide power for the entire duration of the Appendix-R event. Therefore, when the plant must be shutdown from outside of the control room, a safe shutdown cannot be assured using the dedicated shutdown panel. This event is being reported as an unanalyzed condition under 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). The affected Appendix R equipment was declared inoperable, and procedure changes to address this issue are being considered to address these conditions. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
