| Title | Degraded Condition Due to Reactor Head Vessel Penetration Indications |
| Event Description | On April 18, 2014, V.C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS) Unit 1 identified 3 reactor vessel head penetrations (9, 43 and 51) that did not meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D) and ASME Code Case N-729-1. The station is in a refueling outage (RF21) and the plant is currently shutdown and defueled. The reactor vessel head contains a total of 66 penetrations and the volumetric inspection efforts are complete.
The indications are not through wall as indicated by volumetric and bare metal visual inspections. The penetrations will be repaired to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.55a prior to returning the vessel head to service. The inspection results are reportable pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The licensee will notify the State of South Carolina and local counties.
On April 26, 2014, V. C. Summer Station (VCSNS) Unit 1 finalized the inspections of the reactor vessel head penetrations. Confirmatory dye penetrant inspections determined that penetrations 15 and 22 also did not meet the requirements of 10CFR50.55a(g)(6)(ii)(D) and ASME Code Case N-729-1. The station is in a refueling outage (RF21) and the plant is currently shutdown and defueled. The indications are not through wall as indicated by volumetric and bare metal visual inspections. The penetrations will be repaired to meet the requirements of 10CFR50.55a prior to returning the vessel head to service. The inspection results are reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The licensee will notify the State of South Carolina and local counties. Notified R2DO (McCoy). |
