At approximately
1430 hours0.0166 days <br />0.397 hours <br />0.00236 weeks <br />5.44115e-4 months <br /> EDT on 4/13/2016, it was determined that the source document for the mass and energy release parameters used to determine the containment pressure and temperature response to a
Main Steam Line Break (
MSLB) does not adequately account for all possible single active failure scenarios in the steam or
feedwater line isolation provisions. The source document addresses the active failure of the Main
Feedwater Control valves to close in the faulted
steam generator feed line, but not the failure of a
feedwater bypass valves to close in the faulted
steam generator feed line. An active failure of a
feedwater regulating bypass valve whereby the valve fails to close will increase the secondary mass available for release to the containment structure. This can result in a higher peak containment pressure that could challenge the containment design pressure. This condition is only a concern when the
feedwater regulating bypass valves are in the open position in modes 1, 2 or 3, and they fail to close on a engineered safeguards actuation signal. The
feedwater regulating bypass valves are currently closed.
This determination is being reported as an unanalyzed condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B).
