| Title | Unanalyzed Condition Identified During a Fire Protection Review |
| Event Description | During a review of non-compliances with Appendix R that are being resolved as part of the NFPA 805, Risk Informed Fire Protection Transition, it was identified that a non-compliant operator manual action to manually backwash the cooling water strainers was identified in several fire areas, but the need to manually backwash the strainers may be required in other fire areas not previously identified. For Fire Areas 25, 30, 31, 38, 66, 109, and 117 power to the cooling water strainer central control panel could be affected which could require the need to perform a manual backwash of the strainers. Manual backwash of the cooling water strainers has not been established as an alternate compensatory measure for Fire Area 25, 30, 31, 38, 66, 109 and 117.
Manual operator actions that are required to recover functionality of a system that is credited to achieve and maintain hot safe shutdown for a fire in a III.G.1 or III.G.2 fire area are indicative of a missing fire barrier. The lack of established alternate compensatory measures is being reported as an unanalyzed condition as defined by 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii). Compensatory measures have been established by verifying fire detection in the affected areas is functional with an hourly fire watch established in accordance with site procedures. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
An eight hour report per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) was reported on May 22, 2012 for a non-Compliant manual operator action to backwash the cooling water strainers in several fire areas not previously identified. Subsequent analysis determined that the process of removing sufficient decay heat to achieve and maintain cold shutdown does allow the use of repair actions. Since Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) can be in the process of removing sufficient decay heat to reach cold shutdown conditions in much less than 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> there is significant margin to show this action is acceptable as a cold shutdown action and is in compliance with the requirements of Appendix R,Section III.G. Therefore, the action is not a non-compliant operator manual action and EN 47949 is retracted. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed." R3DO (Kozak) notified. |
