Title | Unanalyzed Condition Due to Unaccounted Loads in Safe Shutdown Analysis |
Event Description | On February 3rd, 2017, during engineering modification reviews of electrical busses for a station switchyard transformer, electrical loads were identified on 4kV breakers that are not accounted for in the current safe shutdown analysis. Further reviews revealed the unanalyzed loads are associated with 26 cables that are routed through multiple fire zones in the Turbine Building and both Unit 1 and Unit 2 4kV rooms that have the potential to be affected from a fire event. Per NFPA 805 requirements, the cables need to be analyzed for overcurrent trip capability to demonstrate that the breakers will isolate a fault for a fire.
Hourly Fire Watch tours have been established in the identified fire zones. The public health and safety is not impacted. This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as an unanalyzed condition. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. This is a late notification for the 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> report.
The condition reported in EN 52544 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) has been evaluated, and determined not to be an unanalyzed condition that significantly degraded plant safety and is being retracted. Fire Protection Engineering performed circuit analysis of the discovered loads and determined that the Fire Safety Analysis credited power supply for an established recovery action was lost due to a Turbine Building fire. This was determined to not be a significant impact to plant safety due to the availability of an alternate offsite 4kV power supply that was not impacted by this fire. Emergency Operating Procedures already contain guidance that directs operators to align the 4kV busses to this offsite power circuit and that can be accomplished within the time necessary to perform the recovery action. During periods when this offsite power circuit was removed from service over the past three years, risk was managed using the online risk management process and no additional actions would have been required for its use as the credited power source in the Fire Safety Analysis. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this retraction. Notified the R3DO (Skokowski). |
