Title | Inoperable Seismic Instrumentation Identified During Historical Review |
Event Description | Limerick Generating Station (LGS) has completed a review of recent seismic monitor performance. The seismic monitor is currently capable of fulfilling its emergency assessment support function. The review of the system performance over the last three years identified two occasions when the system was degraded and incapable of performing its emergency assessment support function such that emergency classification at the UNUSUAL EVENT and ALERT levels could not be declared within fifteen minutes as required with site instrumentation. The seismic monitor was determined to be degraded and incapable of performing its emergency assessment support function on the following dates:
1) January 17, 2014 - Unit 1 100% power, Unit 2 97% power 2) March 22, 2014 - Unit 1 Refueling, Unit 2 100% power These unplanned inoperable conditions of the seismic monitor were entered into the LGS Corrective Action Program (CAP) when they occurred. While Exelon procedural direction allowed the use of offsite sources to obtain seismic data when the seismic monitor is incapable of assessing emergency plan Emergency Action Levels (EALs), this was not explicitly referenced in the approved EALs. The loss of assessment capability is reportable to the NRC within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of discovery in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). This report is required per 10 CFR 50.72(a)(1)(ii) as an event that occurred within 3 years of the date of discovery. For the two dates above, the 1/17/14 failure was related to function of the system CPU (central processing unit) and the 3/22/14 failure was due to a failed instrument backup battery. There was no seismic event on either of these two dates. The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. |
