| Title | |
| Event Description | This report is being made pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(C), event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function needed to control the release of radioactive material and 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident. LaSalle Station's Unit 1 and Unit 2 were in Mode 1. At 2207 [CST] [on 2/10/16], Secondary Containment Differential Pressure dropped below the Technical Specification (TS) 3.6.4.1 minimum of 0.25 inches water vacuum. The initial indications are a failure of one Unit 1 Reactor Building Exhaust Isolation Damper, which resulted in a trip of the Unit 1 Reactor Building Exhaust Fans. At 2245, Secondary Containment Differential Pressure was restored to within the TS 3.6.4.1 limits by securing and isolating the Unit 1 Reactor Building Ventilation System. Troubleshooting plans are being developed to determine cause of the damper failure and to correct the deficient condition.
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
