| ENS 51002 | 22 April 2015 03:17:00 | At approximately 2330 (EDT) on April 21, 2015, a worker collapsed in the turbine building inside the protected area. Initial response by on-site responders found the person unresponsive. Subsequent response by off-site medical responders determined the person had died and the station was notified at approximately 0130 on April 22, 2015. The fatality was due to an apparent personal medical issue and not work related . The individual was not contaminated. The individual was transported off-site via onsite Site Protection personnel. Plant operation was not impacted by the event. The licensee informed Lower Alloways Creek Township and will inform the NRC Resident Inspector. |
| ENS 49909 | 13 March 2014 13:43:00 | On March 13, 2014 at 0631 EDT, sample analysis of the Standby Liquid Control (SLC) System tank yielded a sodium pentaborate concentration outside the technical specification (TS) limits, rendering both subsystems inoperable. The sodium pentaborate concentration was found to be 4 parts per million low, at 13.598% by weight, below the required concentration of 13.6% by weight. The Standby Liquid Control System tank concentration was diluted during restoration activities following planned maintenance of the B Standby Liquid Control System pump. This condition could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function required to mitigate the consequences of an accident. Chemical addition to the Standby Liquid Control System tank is in progress to restore the sodium pentaborate concentration to within Technical Specification limits. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will notify the Lower Alloways Creek Township.
A subsequent review of the analytical data has determined that the SLC tank sample met the Technical Specification requirement for operability (13.6 weight percent) and therefore, there was no reportable condition. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R1DO (Burritt). |
| ENS 49890 | 11 March 2014 03:38:00 | On March 11, 2014 at 0300 (EDT), the Hope Creek Technical Support Center (TSC) ventilation system was removed from service to perform planned maintenance. The removal of the ventilation potentially affects the TSC habitability during a declared emergency requiring activation. Appropriate compensatory measures are in place while the ventilation is out of service. The Emergency Response organization duty team has been notified of the maintenance and the possible need to activate the TSC in an alternate location. The ventilation system is scheduled to be out of service for approximately 78 hours. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector and the Lower Alloways Creek Township. |
| ENS 49671 | 20 December 2013 20:10:00 | While the B control room chiller was out of service for planned maintenance, the A control room chiller was manually secured due to excessive fluctuations in load and running current. TS 3.7.2.2 Action a.2 was entered at 1303 (EST) for both control room air conditioning subsystems inoperable. Control room temperature is being maintained below the TS limit of 90 degrees F. The required TS Action is to restore one control room AC subsystem to operable status within 72 hours. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector and the Lower Alloways Creek township.
The B control room chiller was returned to service at 2120 EST. The A control room chiller remains out of service resulting in a 30-day TS LCO. Notified R1DO (Dimitriadis). |
| ENS 48908 | 10 April 2013 13:13:00 | On April 10, 2013 at 0930 (EDT) Hope Creek Operations personnel identified that the NRC ENS phone line was unavailable for Hope Creek Generating Station. The loss of the NRC ENS line was verified by the Hope Creek Shift Manager via backup land line communication to the NRC. The NRC Operations Center has an open repair ticket with the phone service provider. The loss of the phone line had no effect on plant operation and the unit remains at 100% power. Additionally, Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) capability was verified to remain intact and is available to transmit data. No personnel injuries resulted from the event. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed. |
| ENS 48560 | 5 December 2012 09:30:00 | On December 5, 2012, at 0921 EST, the Hope Creek Technical Support Center (TSC) ventilation system was removed from service to perform planned maintenance on the system. The maintenance consists of a 54 month inspection of the feeder breaker. The removal of ventilation, potentially affects the TSC habitability during a declared emergency requiring activation. Appropriate compensatory measures are in place while ventilation is out of service. The Emergency Response Organization duty team has been notified of the maintenance and the possible need to activate the TSC in an alternate location. The ventilation system is scheduled to be out of service for approximately 12 hours. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and will notify the local township. |
