During a review of a High-Energy Line BreaDuring a review of a High-Energy Line Break (HELB) calculation, valve FBV0146 on a 3" Auxiliary Steam line, FB-093-HBD-3", was found to be kept normally open. This is not consistent with HELB analysis, which assumes flow in line FB-093-HBD-3" is restricted by an orifice plate or isolated by FBV0146. This HELB analysis classified FB-093-HBD-3" as a moderate-energy line downstream of FBV0146 as a result of line isolation.</br>No orifice plate was installed, and line FB-093-HBD-3" downstream of the FBV0146 is considered a high-energy line if FBV0146 is open. A room containing line FB-093-HBD-3" downstream from FBV0146 includes several components, the most critical of which are two RCS (Reactor Coolant System) pressure transmitters in one train which are used to provide indications during post-accident conditions. This configuration is therefore outside of current HELB analysis and potentially represents a condition that significantly degrades plant safety.</br>Valve FBV0146 was closed at 1522. The NRC resident inspectors have been notified.</br>* * * RETRACTION FROM KEITH CRIBLEZ TO VINCE KLCO ON 1/21/2010 AT 1739 * * * </br>On 12/15/2009, EN #45571 provided notification that valve FBV0146 on Auxiliary Steam line FB-093-HBD-3 was found to be kept normally open.
