Nature of Occurrence A/E review of scram discharge system pipe break implicatims revealtxl t)mt either a scram discharge pipe break m the 1305 elev. or a main steam lina.

l hreak in the steam chase could clevate the torus room temperature sufficimtly to cause a HPCI/RCIC steam line isolation Irredlate Correct.ive Attion A sthnding order 16s been issmd outlining the proper. operator respcnse to over-ride a HPCI/RCIC isolatim due to a main steam lire break.

Cause Wcause is a structural me in that venting of the. steam chase area to the forus rom was required to prevent pressurization of the steam chase area.
