| Title | Containment Bypass Condition Due to Degraded River Water Piping |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 0800 EDT on May 9, 2024, it was identified during leak rate testing that through-wall flaws existed on reactor plant river water piping inside the containment building. This determination resulted in a containment bypass condition such that a gaseous release could have occurred at a location not analyzed for a release in the loss of coolant accident dose consequence analysis. This condition is not bounded by existing design and licensing documents. Evaluation of the condition of the piping is ongoing to support repair prior to startup. With the plant currently in cold shutdown, the containment, as specified in Technical Specification 3.6.1, is not required to be operable. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. This event is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A), 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B), and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
