Title | Potential Failure of High Density Polyethylene Piping in Esw System |
Event Description | On November 9, 2011 at 1715, Callaway Plant staff determined that a postulated design basis fire event in Fire Area C-1, (Control Building, elevation 1974, ESW Pipe Space, Room 3101) could result in failure of the High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) piping in the Essential Service Water (ESW) system.
In 2008-2009 timeframe, Callaway Plant implemented a modification which replaced underground large bore carbon steel ESW piping with HDPE piping. Four short sections of this HDPE piping enter the Control Building and interface with steel piping in Room 3101. During the design of the modification, it was not recognized that a fire barrier should be installed to protect the HDPE piping from the consequences of a fire. As a result of the missing fire barrier, a postulated fire could cause a failure of one train of the large bore HDPE piping located within the fire area. The resultant pipe failure could lead to flooding in the fire area that could adversely affect both trains of ESW equipment required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. An hourly fire watch has been imposed as a compensatory measure for this condition in accordance with the approved fire protection program. This condition is reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(ii)(B) as an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
