20555 March 26, 1981 IE Information Notice No. 81-09:
DEGRADATION OF RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL (RHR)
SYSTEM Descilption of Circumstances:
Rece'nt, repeated expressions of serious concern have been made regarding loss of shutdown cooling capability (IEB 80-12 and IN 80-20).
Nevertheless, an additional instance has occurred in which proper attention was not given to assure reliability of the shutdown cocling function.
On March 5,1981 during a shutdown at Beaver Valley, residual heat removal (RHR) flow was severely degraded while the water level was near the hot leg midpoint. During the 54 minutes necded to vent both RHR pumps and add approxi-mately 600 gallons of water to the primary system, primary coolant temperature increased from 102 F to 168 F.
The event occurred when water was slowly lost from the reference leg of a temporary (tygon tubing) differential pressure system installed to measure water level in the primary system.
There were no required surveillance procedures to checi proper operation of the wate'r level instrument.
Consequently, the reference leg water loss was not detected until the actual primary system water level de reased to about 6" below the indicated level, sufficiently los to alluw air entrainment in the RHR suction line, which air-bound both RHR pumps.
Loss of shutdown cooling capability is a potentially significant contributor to the total risk associated with nuclear power (Reactor Safety Study, WASH - 1400, pg. 135.)
It is expected that licensees will review the circumstances of this event and take appropriate actions to assure shutdown cooling system operability.
This notification, in conjunction with IEB 80-12 and IN 80-20, is intended to convey the seriousness of NRC concern with failures to maintain adequate decay heat removal provisions.
No written response to this information notice is required.
If you require additional information with regard to this subject, please contact the appropriate NRC Regional Office
