During routine operator rounds at 2030 EDT, a steam propagation barrier door (SPBD) was discovered propped open for maintenance activities without appropriate station controls. This condition was in existence from approximately 1720 EDT to 2042 EDT when the SPBD was restored to its normal configuration. Throughout the approximate
3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and 22 minutes, when the SPBD was propped open, both trains of chill water were rendered non-functional due to a potential
high energy line break. This subsequently rendered both trains of high-head safety injection
inoperable, which placed the plant in
Technical Specification 3.0.3. This condition was corrected prior to commencing a
Technical Specification 3.0.3 plant shutdown. This condition is reportable under
10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) as any event or condition that at the
time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function.
