Title | Technical Specification Shutdown Due to Inabililty to Perform a Required Rcs Leak Rate Verification |
Event Description | During the 2000 CDT pumping of the Drywell Floor Drain Sump on 08/16/2008, the pumps failed to pump as indicated by the integrator reading zero with the pump running. The sump pump was running for approximately 2-3 minutes with the integrator showing no flow. The pump typically auto stops after approximately 30 seconds; since this did not happen, it appears to be a flow restriction and not an integrator problem. 3A DWFDS pump was started first and then 3B DWFDS pump was attempted with no flow noted for either pump.
Both the 3-2001-105 and -106 valves indicated OPEN. Both sump pump breakers were verified ON and a local visual inspection of the 3-2001-105 and -106 valves was performed to verify proper operation. Troubleshooting has determined that the 3-2001-105 valve is failing to OPEN. The 3-2001-105 is a primary containment isolation valve and is currently CLOSED. TS SR 3.4.4.1 requires RCS leakage verification 1 [time per] 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and was last completed at 1600 CDT on 08/16/2008. Unit 3 Shutdown was initiated at 0902 hours0.0104 days <br />0.251 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.43211e-4 months <br />. The shutdown of Unit 3 was halted at 30% power while the licensee pursued an NOED (Notice of Enforcement Discretion) with NRC. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The licensee will also notified the State. |
