At approximately 1300 hours on January 21, … At approximately 1300 hours on January 21, 2009, a loss of control air to the Control Room ventilation system occurred. As a result, the three Control Room Air Conditioning subsystems required by Technical Specification (TS) 3.7.4, 'Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System,' and the two Control Room Emergency Ventilation subsystems required by TS 3.7.3, 'Control Room Emergency Ventilation (CREV) System,' became inoperable. As a result, this condition could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function for these systems. Because Brunswick has a shared control room, Unit 1 and Unit 2 entered TS 3.7.3 Required Action B.1, for two CREV subsystems inoperable (i.e. be in Mode 3 within 12 hours) and TS 3.7.4, Required Action E.1, for three Control Room AC subsystems inoperable (i.e. enter LCO 3.0.3 immediately). Operability of the Control Room AC subsystems and CREV subsystems was restored and related LCO's including TS 3.0.3 were exited at 1429 hours following the restoration of control air to the Control Room ventilation systems.</br>No power reduction took place as a result of the LCO 3.0.3 entry. This report applies to both Units 1 and 2 and is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), as a condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented fulfillment of the safety function of systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident.</br>The safety significance of this event is considered minimal. The condition existed for approximately 1 hour and 29 minutes. Plant staff took immediate action to return the equipment to service. For the brief time the Control Room AC and CREV systems were inoperable, performance of plant personnel and equipment in the Control Room was not adversely affected.</br>The control air to the Control Room ventilation systems has been restored to service. This allowed restarting the Control Room air conditioning units. Both CREV trains and the three Control Room air conditioning units have been restored to operable. TS 3.7.3 and TS 3.7.4 Actions have been exited.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.ensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
