TS LCO 3.4.13, RCS Operation Leakage, stat … TS LCO 3.4.13, RCS Operation Leakage, states, in part, that RCS operational leakage shall be limited to no pressure boundary leakage. Contrary to the above, on March 14, 2013, during a scheduled RFO boric acid program walk down inspection, Entergy identified a through-wall defect and therefore a RCPB leak on a fillet weld which attaches the E-11 in-core guide tube to the seal table path. Corrective actions included a VT-2 visual examination of the remaining seal table penetrations to verify that no additional through wall leaks were present. Additionally, the leaking guide tube was removed from service by cutting the tube below the leaking area and installing a welded plug to form a new RCPB. No performance deficiency was identified because it was not reasonable for Entergy to foresee and prevent the pressure boundary leak. Since this violation has no performance deficiency, traditional enforcement applies. The inspectors evaluated the significance of the issue using traditional enforcement and determined it was a SL IV NCV of TS 3.4.13 in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 6.1.d. This issue was entered into Entergys CAP as CR-IP3-2013-01556 and a report was made to the NRC in LER 05000286/2013-004-00.de to the NRC in LER 05000286/2013-004-00. +
