Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
At 0121 CST on 01/24/2023, it was discovered that the Unit 1 High Pressure Coolant Injection System (HPCI) was inoperable; therefore, the condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v), as an event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident. 1-FCV-073-0006B, HPCI Steam Line Condensate Outboard Drain Valve, failed closed during normal plant configuration. This valve is normally open. The HPCI steam line is not being drained with the valve in the current position. The Unit 1 Nuclear Unit Senior Operator entered Unit 1 Technical Specifications LCO 3.5.1 Condition C with required actions C.1 to immediately verify by administrative means that the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) system is operable and C.2 to restore HPCI to operable status in 14 days. RCIC has been verified operable by administrative means. There was no impact to the safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
