Title | Secondary Containment Zone II Differential Pressure Lost During Recovery from Ventilation Drawdown Test |
Event Description | On November 13, 2013 at 0226 [EST], Secondary Containment Zone II (Unit 2 Reactor Building) differential pressure was lost during restoration of a ventilation drawdown test. During restoration Unit 2 'A' Train Reactor Building Ventilation fans tripped. The 'B' Train fans were placed in service and secondary containment was restored. Zone I (Unit 1 Reactor Building) and III (Common Refuel Floor Area) ventilation remained in service and stable.
Zone II differential pressure recovered within a few minutes and was verified to be stable. LCO 3.6.4.1 was exited for both units at 0257 [EST]. Tech Spec Secondary Containment Operability requires a negative pressure of at least 0.25 inches water gauge. There have been no further perturbations in differential pressure and secondary containment remains operable. This event is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(c) and per the guidance of NUREG 1022 Rev 3 section 3.2.7 as a loss of a Safety Function. There is no redundant Susquehanna Secondary Containment System. The cause of the Unit 2 "A" Train Reactor Building ventilation fans tripping is still under investigation. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
NUREG-1022, Revision 3 states, ' reports are not required when systems are declared inoperable as part of a planned evolution for maintenance or surveillance testing when done in accordance with an approved procedure and the plant's TS (unless a condition is discovered that would have resulted in the system being declared inoperable).' The event reported in this event notification occurred during a pre-planned evolution for surveillance testing that was done in accordance with an approved procedure and the Susquehanna Technical Specifications. The loss of differential pressure occurred during restoration from the surveillance test and occurred prior to completing the planned evolution and declaring the system OPERABLE. Specifically, the trip of the fans occurred when restoring the Reactor Building normal ventilation after a Zone 1, 2, and 3 isolation (returning back to normal ventilation from the Standby Gas Treatment System). The secondary containment boundary and standby gas treatment system were unaffected. This event occurred as a result of the testing process and would not have occurred during normal operation of the system. There was no discovered condition that would have resulted in the safety function of the system being declared inoperable under normal, non-testing conditions. Based on the above additional information, PPL is retracting this report. Susquehanna was in a planned evolution and did not discover a condition that could have prevented performing a safety function. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R1DO (Schmidt). |
