At 1230 CDST, on 05-12-08 the Plant Shift At 1230 CDST, on 05-12-08 the Plant Shift Superintendent (PSS) was notified that an alarm was received for the C-331 Unit 3 Cell 5 UF6 Release Detection (PGLD) System. Operators responded and found that the READY and MANUAL lights for this system were not illuminated. This PGLD System contains detectors that cover C-331 Unit 3 Cell 5 and Sections 2 and 3 of the cell bypass piping. At the time of this alarm, unit 3 Cell 5 and some areas of Sections 2 and 3 of the cell bypass were operating above atmospheric pressure. TSR 2.4.4.1 requires that at least the minimum number of detector heads in the cell and in each defined section of the cell bypass are operable during steady state operations above atmospheric pressure. With the Unit 3 Cell 5 PGLD system inoperable, none of the required cell heads and only 2 of the required 3 heads in Sections 2 and 3 of the cell bypass were operable. This PGLD System was declared inoperable, TSR LCO 2.4.4.1.A.1 and 2.4.4.1.C.1 were entered and a continuous smoke watch was put in place within one hour. Engineering has determined that the system would not have been able to perform its intended safety function when this alarm came in. This event is reportable as a 24 hour event in accordance with 10 CFR 76.120(c)(2)(i). This is an event in which equipment is disabled or fails to function as designed when: a.) the equipment is required by a TSR to prevent releases, prevent exposures to radiation and radioactive materials exceeding specified limits, mitigate the consequences of an accident, or restore this facility to a pre-established safe condition after an accident; b.) the equipment is required by a TSR to be available and operable and either should have been operating or should have operated on demand, and c.) no redundant equipment is available and operable to perform the required safety function.</br>The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified of this event.</br>PGDP Assessment and Tracking Report No. ATR-08-1412; PGDP Event Report No. PAD-2008-14; Worksheet No. Responsible Division: Operationssheet No. Responsible Division: Operations
