Title | Unusual Event- Excessive Leakage from a Charging System |
Event Description | At 1045 CST, on 2/18/11, Comanche Peak Unit 1 declared an Unusual Event related to excessive leakage from the charging system. The 40 GPM leakage was in excess of the specified limit of 25 GPM. At 1121 CST, the charging system leakage was verified isolated. Unit 1 is in stable condition and remains at 100% power. No offsite assistance is required at this time.
At 1311 EST, Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant has terminated the Unusual Event. The leaking valve in the charging system has been isolated reducing the leakage to zero. Repairs to the valve are in planning." The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The licensee notified the Texas Department of Public Safety and will be making a press release to the local press. Notified R4DO (Gaddy), IRD (Gott), NRR EO (Thorp), DHS (McDonald) and FEMA (Via).
This is a follow-up notification to inform the NRC that Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant is retracting Event Number 46625, the Unusual Event declaration reported on February 18, 2011 at 10:45 Central Standard Time. The declaration was made based on EAL SU8.1, [Reactor Coolant System] RCS Leakage, and was terminated on February 18, 2011 at 13:11 Central Standard Time. The declaration is retracted because the source of the leakage was from the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) and not from the Reactor Coolant System. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Campbell) |
