(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-423/85-53-06) Repairs for Cold Shutdown A fire in the Auxiliary Building Fire Area AB-10 could damage all three component cooling pumps. At least one of these pumps is needed to bring the plant to a cold shutdown.
The applicant stated that repairs using equipment readily available at the plant can replace a pump motor assumed to be lost during a fire. The inspector verified that repair procedures exist and all equipment l
,
such as pump motor, cable, connectors, gantry crane etc. are at the plant and designated for use in the event of a fire in this area.
No unacceptable conditions were identified.
This item is resolved.

(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-423/85-53-09) Tcold Instrumentation Work Incomplete s
The applicant committed to install instrumentation to monitor the cold leg temperature (Tcold) in the Auxiliary Shutdown Panels.
The applicant installed the instrument on the B train (purple) panel which receives its input from the Westinghouse Instrument Rack located in the instrument rack room.
For a fire in this room the applicant can monitor Tcold instrumentation by decoupling an umbilical cord type device from the B train panel and connecting the instrument to a jack on the A train panel that receives input from the A train (orange) switchgear room. This is in accordance with discussions held between the applicant and the NRC.
This item is resolved.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-423/85-53-10) Emergency Lighting Work Incomplete Emergency lighting units with 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> battery power supply are required by Branch Technical Position (BTP) 9.5-1 section c.5.g in all areas needed for operation of safe shutdown equipment and in access and egress routes thereto.
The applicant installed the required lighting throughout the plant.
The,
inspector verified the adequacy of the lighting by walking down selected emergency procedures and by " blacking out" selected areas (control room and auxiliary shutdown panel areas).
No unacceptable condition; were identified.
This item is resolved.
