| Title | Automatic Closure of Primary Containment Isolation Valves Due to Invalid Signal |
| Event Description | On Monday, October 19, 2009, Limerick Unit 1 was operating at 100% power. At 1105 hours0.0128 days <br />0.307 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.204525e-4 months <br />, an invalid actuation of the 1B Reactor Enclosure Ventilation Exhaust Radiation Monitor occurred. The actuation caused a Division 2 Group 6C isolation signal, which caused primary containment isolation valves (PCIVs) to automatically close on the Containment Leak Detector Radiation Monitor (10-S182) and the Drywell Hydrogen/Oxygen Analyzer (10-S205). The 1A, 1C, and 1D channels were unaffected and indicated normal ventilation exhaust radiation levels during the event.
The cause of the event was a failure of a fuse holder in the 1B Reactor Enclosure Ventilation Exhaust Radiation Monitor. The radiation monitor is designed to fail-safe on a loss of power. The automatic closure of the PCIVs placed them in their fail-safe position. The failed fuse holder has been replaced and the radiation monitor was declared operable on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 1348 hours0.0156 days <br />0.374 hours <br />0.00223 weeks <br />5.12914e-4 months <br />. The portion of the primary containment isolation system that received an actuation signal functioned successfully. All of the affected open isolation valves automatically closed. The only equipment malfunction during the event was the failed fuse holder. The Division 2 Group 6C isolation was a partial actuation. This event is reportable per 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) since isolation valves for the Containment Leak Detector Radiation Monitor and Drywell Hydrogen/Oxygen Analyzer automatically closed due to an invalid signal. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
