| Title | Hpci Out of Service Due to the Loss of the Suction Auto-Swap Function |
| Event Description | On 12-04-09 at 16:00, condensate storage tank (CST) level switch [2E41 N002], was declared inoperable due to not actuating at the correct set point. A RAS [Required Action Statement] was entered to align high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) suction to the suppression pool within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as required by Tech Spec [Technical Specification] action statement 3.3.5.1.D 2.2. The switch was found stuck and was freed up after manual manipulation and tripped correctly during a functional test. It was decided on 12-05-09 to perform a calibration on the level switch prior to declaring it operable.
During performance of calibration procedure 57CP-CAL-012-2 at 1059 EST on 12-05-09, a jumper was installed that rendered the HPCI and reactor core isolation cooling (RCIC) auto-transfer suction swap from CST to suppression pool inoperable. This is a loss of function for the initiation capability of HPCI and RCIC CST low level suction swap instrumentation. This loss of function was not discovered until 1330 on 12-05-09, at which time TS [Technical Specification] 3.3.5.1.D was entered for HPCI and TS 3.3.5.2.D for RCIC, until HPCI and RCIC suction were manually aligned to the suppression pool which allowed the plant to exit the required actions to declare HPCI and RCIC inoperable within 1 Hour. HPCI and RCIC were aligned to the suppression pool at 1341 EST. The RCIC suction was realigned to the suppression pool as required by the Tech Specs in order to restore its operability. It should be noted that no credit is taken for RCIC in the safety analysis nor is this system considered an ESF system. For this reason there are no reporting requirements associated with the inoperability of RCIC. HPCI was declared inoperable in accordance with the instrumentation Tech Specs, but during this time frame HPCI was capable of performing its safety function. However- additional review will be needed to confirm that HPCI could have operated for the duration of its mission time of 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> while aligned to the condensate storage tank. Absent that information this report is being made due to HPCI being declared inoperable until its suction was realigned to the suppression pool. This assumed loss of function for HPCI is being reported in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) since a final determination has not been made that HPCI would have continued to perform its safety function for the required mission time while aligned to the CST. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
