Title | Appendix J Local Leakage Exceeded Acceptance Criteria |
Event Description | On Wednesday May 10, 2017, at 1411 EDT, with the reactor at 0 percent core thermal power (CTP), Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) was in a Refueling Outage, performing a review of Local Leak Rate Testing results, when it was concluded that PNPS had exceeded its Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix J, Option B, Type B and C Local Leak Rate Test (LLRT) leakage criteria.
Previously, on April 22, 2017, when PNPS was performing LLRT of the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) steam exhaust line check valves, both valves failed to meet their LLRT acceptance criteria specified in plant procedures. Neither of the check valves seated acceptably. Based on the ongoing evaluation of these test exceedances, it was concluded that these test results cause the plant to exceed the overall as-found minimum path Appendix J acceptance criteria of 0.6 La (126.3 SLM [Standard Liters per Minute]). Further investigation is ongoing. This event has no impact on the health and safety of the public. The licensee has notified the NRC Senior Resident Inspector. This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A), any event or condition that resulted in the condition of the nuclear power plant, including its principle safety barriers, being seriously degraded. The licensee will notify the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency. |
