ENS 4812624 July 2012 11:04:00On July 23, 2012, at 0508 EDT, the Technical Support Center (TSC) ventilation was tagged out for routine maintenance. It was believed that only the cooling function was affected and that the TSC ventilation system was still capable of performing its intended function of pressurization and filtration. A review by operations today determined that the TSC filtration and pressurization portion was also affected. Under certain accident conditions, the TSC may become unavailable due to the inability of the filtration system to maintain a habitable atmosphere. Compensatory measures exists to relocate the TSC to an alternate location. Currently it is expected that the TSC ventilation system maintenance will be completed by the end of the day shift today and turned over to operations. Operations should start up the system early during night shift (7/24). This is reportable to the NRC per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(xiii) as an eight hour non-emergency notification. The event had no effect on plant operations and no impact on public health and safety has been identified. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector, States and Counties.
