Braidwood Technical Specification 3.5.2 requires that two independent emergency core cooling system (ECCS) subsystems be operable, with each subsystem including an operable centrifugal charging pump, during Modes 1, 2, or 3 operation. Action statement a. requires that an inoperable subsystem be restored to operable status with seven days, or that the unit be shut down to at least hot standby (Mode 3) within the next six hours and to hot shutdown (Mode 4) within the following six hours.

Contrary to the above, from March 22 through June 1,1989, recirculation -

isolation valve 2CV8479B for centrifugal charging pump 2B was shut, thaieby rendering the 2B centrifugal charging pump inoperable. One Unit : ECCS subsystem was thus inoperable for more than seven days with th's unit in Mode 3 or higher without action to place the unit in a mode in which Technical Specification 3.5.2 does not apply.
