Title | Failure to Perform Technical Specification Required Shutdown |
Event Description | At 2342 [EDT], June 30, 2016, the Control Room received panel alarms associated with Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Channel 2. Subsequent investigation revealed the alarms were due to a loss of supplied power caused, in part, by a level permissive in the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) to be inoperable. With SFAS Channel 1 BWST level transmitter previously declared inoperable for maintenance, the on-shift operating crew did not correctly identify that technical specification (TS) 3.3.5, Condition B applied which is a 6-hour shutdown required action. At 0245, following a duty team call when the condition was re-assessed, the crew entered the proper additional Condition B and correctly identified they were approximately 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> into a 6-hour shutdown specification. At 0330 the condition was inappropriately exited on the premise that an operable but degraded situation could be justified. The plant did not initiate a shutdown required by technical specification but, in retrospect, should have initiated and completed a shutdown within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> of 2342.
On July 1 at 1351, the BWST level transmitter for SFAS Channel 1 was repaired and declared operable [and exited TS 3.3.5 Condition B], however, the total time exceeded the 6-hour shutdown action. The plant remained stable throughout this event. On July 9, 2016, while internally discussing the event among FENOC senior leadership, it was determined that a 4-hour report would have been made if the shutdown was initiated. Hence, this report is retrospective in that a 10 CFR 50.72(h)(2)(i) required report should have been made upon the initiation of any nuclear plant shutdown required by plant's technical specification. A Licensee Event Report will be provided pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as a condition that was prohibited by the plant's technical specification. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. [At 1325 EDT on July 1, it was determined that the justification for SFAS channel 2 BWST level permissive to be operable but degraded could not be supported and reentered TS 3.3.5 Condition B.] |
