DESCRIPTION AS A RESULT OF TECHNICAL REVIEWS AND ANALYSIS OF CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING VORTEXING CONDITIONS FOR THE "B" TRAIN RER PUMP i
DURING CAVITY DRAINING ON SATURDAY OCTOBER 26, 1991, GPC HAS DETERMINED THAT THE "A" RER PUMP MAY HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF DE-GRADED PERFORMANCE DUE TO POSSIBLE LACK OF ADEQUATE LEVEL TO PREVENT VORTEXING.
AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT, UNIT WAS IN MODE 6 AFTER REFUELING AND THE REFUELING CAVITY WAS BEING DRAINED TO JUST BELOW THE REACTOR VESSEL FLANGE FOR PLACING THE VESSEL HEAD.
"B" TRAIN I
RER WAS PROVIDING SHUTDOWN COOLING AT APPROXIMATELY 3000 GPM, WHILE THE "A" TRAIN WAS BEING USED TO SLOWLY LOWER LEVEL.
l BASED ON THIS NEW INFORMATION FROM THE POST-EVENT CRITIQUE, WHICH WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO CONTROL ROOM OPERATORS AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT, GPC NOW CONSIDERS THIS REPORTABLE UNDER 10 CPR j
