| Title | Essential Chilled Water Trains Declared Inoperable |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
On 3/9/2024 at 2126 CST, train C essential cooling water was declared inoperable due to a through-wall leak on the discharge vent line. This would also cascade and cause train C essential chilled water to be inoperable. On 3/10/2024 at 0353 CDT, train B essential chilled water was declared inoperable due to chilled water outlet temperature greater than 52 degrees F following startup of essential chiller 12B. Chilled water outlet temperature was adjusted to less than 52 degrees F at 0440 CDT, and train B essential chilled water was declared operable. This condition resulted in the inoperability of two of the three safety trains required for the accident mitigating functions including: high head safety injection, low head safety injection, containment spray, electrical auxiliary building HVAC, control room envelope HVAC, and essential chilled water. This is an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> reportable condition per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) because it could affect the ability to mitigate the consequences of an accident. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
