Title | Safety System Inoperability |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
At 1608 [EDT] on September 30, 2022, it was discovered that both trains of the chemical volume and control system were simultaneously inoperable due to an unisolable piping flaw inside containment detected during plant pressurization in preparation for startup following a refueling outage. St. Lucie Unit 2 was not affected and remains at 100 percent power. This event is being reported pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
The following information was provided by the licensee via email: The purpose of this notification is to retract a previous report made on 09/30/2022 at 1713 EDT (EN 56135). Notification of the event to the NRC was initially made as a result of declaring both trains of U1 Chemical and Volume Control System inoperable due to a piping flaw detected during plant pressurization in preparation for startup following a refueling outage. Subsequent to the initial report, FPL [Florida Power and Light] has concluded that the flaw identified in line 2"-CH-109 did not exceed (with sufficient margin) the allowable axial flaw size utilizing the ASME Code Case N-869 methodology, and the Chemical and Volume Control System was operable but degraded for the period of concern. Therefore, this event is not considered a Safety System Functional Failure and is not reportable to the NRC as a Licensee Event Report (LER) per 10 CFR 50.73. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified R2DO (Miller). |
