| Title | Unanalyzed Condition Concerning Control Room Habitability Analysis |
| Event Description | Cooper Nuclear Station became aware of the installation of two 12,000 gallon anhydrous ammonia tanks approximately 1.5 miles from the site. This amount of anhydrous ammonia at that distance exceeds the control room habitability hazardous chemical analysis previously evaluated for the nuclear station. The control room staff has been informed of the condition and have reviewed the appropriate abnormal procedures for actions to take in the case of a leak. This potentially represents an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety and is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B).
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
Subsequently it was determined that the Control Room Habitability Analysis that was performed in response to the NRC's post-TMI requirements bounds the identified condition. This analysis includes the potential of a toxic chemical leak from a 725-ton tank on a river barge carrying anhydrous ammonia. The volume of chemical, and distance from the control room, included in the post-TMI habitability analysis bounds the conditions found with the newly constructed anhydrous ammonia tanks. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R4DO (Farnholtz). |
