Title	Failure of Safety Equipment on C-310 Cylinder Valve Closure System
Event Description	At 2125, on 7-29-05 the Plant Shift Superintendent was notified that the nitrogen bottle pressure for the C-310 Cylinder Valve Closure System was reading 0 psig. The function of this system is to close the cylinder valve in the case of an actuation of the UF6 Release Detection and Isolation System at the UF6 Withdrawal Station. TSR 2.3.4.1 requires this system to be operable while operating in mode 2. At the time the nitrogen bottle pressure was discovered to be reading 0 psig, withdrawal positions 3 and 4 were operating in mode 2. The UF6 Release Detection and Isolation System was declared inoperable by the PSS and withdrawal positions 3 and 4 were placed in mode 3 as required by TSR LCO 2.3.4.1. This event is reportable under 10 CFR 76.120(c)(2) as an event in which equipment required by the TSR is disabled or fails to function as designed. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified of this event. The nitrogen bottle normally maintains a pressure of 1500-2000 psig. The system malfunction was found on the daily equipment check by the operator.
