gg which could result in a violation of current regulatory requirements. The assumption l gl involves a failure of the volume control tank (VCT) level control system and a sub-l jo,3; ; sequent loss of su u ton to an operating centrifugal charging pump coupled with a l

g] single random failure of the remaining centrifugal charging pump. Loss of makeup to l

o;7, l the VCT and continued charging flow could lead to draining of the VCT and loss of l

l c !s I I suction with consequential pump damage.
