| Event Description | On March 13, 2015, Watts Bar determined that information received from Westinghouse represented an unanalyzed condition. The information challenged the current Unit 1 Fire Protection Report (FPR) analysis for 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. The current FPR analysis used a duration of 120 seconds before a low pressurizer pressure safety injection (SI) signal would be received due to a postulated failed open pressurizer power operated relief valve (PORV) from an Appendix R fire outside of the control building. During discussions with Westinghouse, Watts Bar determined that the 120 second value was non-conservative and not intended for this application. Recent information from Westinghouse indicates that a Sl signal would be received in approximately 34 seconds.
This information places Watts Bar Unit 1 in an unanalyzed condition because the original analysis assumed that a Sl signal would not be received from fire-induced failures in the associated fire areas. While the existing Watts Bar Unit 1 Appendix R procedures direct operators to isolate the pressurizer PORV, the procedures did not have steps to mitigate and terminate the Sl. Without mitigating actions, the Sl would likely challenge the reactor coolant system boundary due to water relief through the remaining pressurizer PORV and/or safety valves. As a compensatory measure, Watts Bar has established administrative equipment controls to preclude the consequences of a spuriously opening pressurizer PORV. In addition, a compensatory measure in the form of fire watches has been established in areas where a fire could result in a spurious opening of a pressurizer PORV. This issue is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), 'unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety.' The Watts Bar Resident Inspector has been notified. |
