Title | Unplanned Loss of Emergency Assessment Capability |
Event Description | CPNPP [Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant] experienced an unplanned loss of the seismic monitoring instrument on May 24, 2016 at 1022 [CDT]. The unplanned loss of the seismic monitor resulted in a loss of assessment capability for the HA1.1 (seismic event greater than operating basis earthquake) Alert emergency classification. The seismic monitor was restored to service on May 24, 2016 at 1043.
This 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). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
On May 24, 2016 at 1748 [EDT], Comanche Peak reported an unplanned loss of emergency assessment capability per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) [EN# 51955]. Specifically, Comanche Peak reported an unplanned loss of the seismic monitoring instrument. The unplanned loss of the seismic monitor would have resulted in a loss of assessment capability for the HA 1.1 (seismic event greater than operating basis earthquake) Alert emergency classification. The seismic monitor was restored to service on May 24, 2016 at 1043 [CDT]. The engineering review determined that the alarms displayed on the seismic monitoring screen provides Operations awareness of the system status. Signals were still being received from the sensor and if there was an OBE [Operating Basis Earthquake] during the time the alarms were in, it would have displayed on the monitoring screen and on the Main Control Board by providing an OBE Exceedance alarm, maintaining emergency assessment capability. Therefore, Comanche Peak requests that the May 24, 2016, 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) reportable event for Units 1 & 2 be retracted. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Deese). |
