Title | Technical Specification Shut Down Due to Chemistry Limit Exceeded |
Event Description | At 0200 Central Daylight Time on 10/21/2018, Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Unit 3 commenced a reactor shutdown as required by the Technical Requirements Manual Limiting Condition for Operation 3.4.1 Coolant Chemistry Condition D due to conductivity greater than 10 micro mho/cm at 25 degrees Celsius. The required action for this condition is to immediately initiate an orderly shutdown and be in Mode 4 as rapidly as cooldown rate permits. This event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i).
There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified.
ENS Event Number 53678, made on 10/21/18, is being retracted. NRC notification 53678 was made to ensure that the four-hour non-emergency reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.72 were met when the licensee discovered a condition requiring shut down of a reactor. 10 CFR 50.72 requires a report in accordance with 50.72(b)(2)(i) for any Technical Specifications (TS) required reactor shutdown. NUREG-1022 only specifies TS applicability and makes no mention of a Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) required shutdown. Because the shutdown comes from the TRM and not the TS as discussed in 10 CFR 50.72 and NUREG-1022, an EN was not required. TVA's evaluation of this event notification is documented in the corrective action program. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R2DO (Ehrhardt). |
