Title | Inadvertent Loss of Instrument Air |
Event Description | On 11/23/2012 at approximately 1956 CST, it was reported that the Control Room (VC) B Chiller breaker was cycling open and closed. In order to stop the cycling, Control Building Unit Sub B was manually tripped causing the following isolations/actuations: loss of power to instrument air (IA) system containment isolation valves causing the Division 2 valves to isolate; loss of power to the low pressure switch that resulted in an automatic start of Division 2 Shutdown Service Water (SX) system; and loss of power to fuel building (VF) system ventilation Division 2 dampers resulting in a trip of the VF system. High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) became inoperable based on inoperability of the room cooler for the associated Division 4 inverter and battery charger. Operations entered the Loss of AC Power and Automatic Isolation off-normal procedures. Following the loss of power to the VF system ventilation, at 2008, secondary containment differential pressure became positive. At 2009, power was restored to Control Building Unit Sub B and HPCS was restored to operable. At 2011, the standby gas treatment system (VG) was started and at 2013, secondary containment differential pressure was restored. Following re-energization of Unit Sub B, the IA containment isolation valves were re-opened, VG was secured, VF restarted and the Division 2 SX pump was secured.
The loss of secondary containment differential pressure is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C) as an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function needed to control the release of radioactive material An unplanned inoperability of HPCS reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as HPCS is a single train safety system The cause of the breaker cycling is unknown at this time. The NRC Resident has been informed. |
