Title	Both Trains of Residual Heat Removal Inoperable
Event Description	On April 22, 2018 at 0222 EDT, Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 2 entered TS [Technical Specifications] LCO [Limiting Condition for Operation] 3.0.3 due to both trains of the Residual Heat Removal System (RHRS) becoming inoperable. During surveillance testing, the gas void values on Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) piping common to both trains did not meet acceptance criteria. This caused both RHRS trains to become inoperable. Operations subsequently vented the RHRS to meet the acceptance criteria and exited TS LCO 3.0.3 at 0227 EDT. More frequent surveillances will be conducted to monitor gas void volumes while additional analysis is being performed to determine corrective actions. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. * * RETRACTION FROM TONY PATE TO HOWIE CROUCH ON 5/4/18 AT 1455 EDT * * * This event is being retracted. The initial report was based on a conservative acceptance criteria for gas accumulation adopted on April 19, 2018 when it was determined that the previously used acceptance criteria for gas accumulation in the ECCS was non-conservative. Additional analysis has subsequently been performed and determined that a higher gas accumulation acceptance criteria does not challenge operability. With a void of less than the acceptance criteria, in the event of ECCS actuation, the system piping support loads will remain within structural limits and the piping system will remain operable. Therefore, both trains of Unit 2 RHRS were operable and the previously reported 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) event is being retracted. The NRC Resident Inspector staff has been informed of this event retraction. Notified R2DO (Desai) of this retraction.
