Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
Plant alignment caused an unanalyzed condition regarding unit 1 and unit 2 Appendix R procedures. [Watts Bar Nuclear] (WBN) unit 1 and unit 2 Appendix R procedures require manual operator action times including [volume control tank] (VCT) isolation. They are calculated with an assumed hydrogen cover gas constant at 20 psig. This is to preclude hydrogen ingestion into the charging pumps with an operator action time of 70 minutes. Due to recent lower hydrogen concentration in the [reactor coolant system] (RCS), [unit 2] VCT hydrogen regulator set point was increased to 28 psig. This increased pressure set point invalidated the initial assumptions made in the Appendix R calculations for manual operator action times. WBN unit 1 VCT hydrogen regulator was also verified high out of band at 22 psig. WBN has restored unit 1 and unit 2 VCT hydrogen regulators to the required specification. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of this condition. |
