| Title | Degraded Condition - 71% Through Wall Indication on Reactor Recirc Nozzle |
| Event Description | Information from a Phased Array UT [Ultrasonic Testing] examination of RRA-F002A indicates that a linear indication 6.5" long and a maximum depth of 71 % through wall extent (ID [Inner Diameter] connected) exists. The Phased Array UT examination of RRA-F002A was performed as part of scheduled outage activities.
TRM [Technical Requirements Manual] LCO [Limiting Condition for Operation] 3.7.3 for Structural Integrity, Condition B has been entered for the Recirc nozzle/piping. This event is being reported as a degraded condition pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) based on the fact that the indications result in a material defect in the primary coolant system which cannot be found acceptable under ASME Section XI, IWB-3600, 'Analytical Evaluation of Flaws' or ASME Section XI, Table IWB-3410-1, 'Acceptance Standards.' The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. |
