  • Cause of lno Derabilitv The Turbine Building RAGEMS was declared inoperable at 1114 hours0.0129 days <br />0.309 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.23877e-4 months <br /> on December 9, 2015, in order to perform surveillance testing system per procedure 621.3.034. During performance of procedure 621.3.034, l&C technicians reported that the FT-661 -1060 Flow-Transmitter could not be calibrated to meet the as leftacceptance criteria of the surveillanc procedure. Accordingly, the Turbine Building RAGEMS was declared inoperable and the compensatory measures were established in accordance with the Station Offsite Dose Calculation Mvanual on December 16, 2016 at 1114.

Action Tak~en Troubleshooting conf irmed the degraded flow transmitter and identified that a replacement wifflbe required.

The TB RAGEMS remains inoperable while awaiting the arrival of the replacement transmitter. The work order Instruction has been planned and the Instrument &Controls Department will complete the component replacement using the "RPx It Now" process. It is currently being tracked as an "*Operations Department Concern" to ensure that the issue remains a Station priority. Repairs are expected to be completed by January 19, 2010.
