| Title | Brief Loss of Secondary Containment Due to Both Airlock Doors Open Simultaneously |
| Event Description | On 8/27/2015 at 1347 [EDT], a cart and personnel were being traversed through an airlock in the Unit 2 reactor building and both airlock doors were inadvertently opened at the same time for a brief period of time (approximately one minute).
Secondary Containment differential pressure was maintained throughout the time period that the doors were opened. The doors serve as a Secondary Containment boundary and at least one in series is required to be closed at all times for Secondary Containment Operability. This event is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) 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 licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
NUREG-1022, Revision 3, Section 3.2.7, 'Event or Condition that Could Have Prevented Fulfillment of a Safety Function,' states, in part, that 'events covered in paragraph (b)(3)(v) of this section may include one or more procedural errors, equipment failures, and/or discovery of design, analysis, fabrication, construction, and/or procedural inadequacies.' The level of judgment for reporting an event or condition under this criterion is a reasonable expectation of preventing fulfillment of a safety function. A SSC [System, Structure, and/or Component] that has been declared inoperable is one in which the SSC capability has been degraded to the point where it cannot perform with reasonable expectation or reliability. For SSCs within the scope of this criterion, a report is required when: - There is a determination that the SSC is inoperable in a required mode or other specified condition in the TS [Technical Specification] applicability, -The inoperability is due to one of more personnel errors, including procedure violations; equipment failures; inadequate maintenance; or design, analysis, fabrication, equipment qualification, construction, or procedural deficiencies, and -No redundant equipment in the same system was operable. Subsequent to the reporting of this condition, Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC performed an investigation of the event. Below are the results. When the airlock doors were opened at the same time, they were being operated as designed. Each individual had a 'green' light, which allowed them to open each door. Based on the investigation, the doors were open at the same time for approximately one second. In summary, the inoperability of Secondary Containment was not due to personnel error or a procedure violation. At the time of the event, both airlock doors were operable. No equipment failures, inadequate maintenance, or design, analysis, fabrication, equipment qualification, construction, or procedural deficiencies were identified. In summary, based on the above, the identified condition is not reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v), for an event or condition, that at the time of discovery, could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function. As such, this 8-hour event notification is being retracted. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1DO (Gray). |
