If enough flood water had entered into the AIT, water could have entered into the Auxiliary Building (AB) through the ventilation ductwork that connects the AIT and the AB. If flood water continued to enter the AB, then safety related equipment in the AB could have been affected.</br>This condition could have resulted in the unavailability of equipment in the Auxiliary Building including the 1A and 1B Decay Heat pumps, the 1A and 1B Building Spray pumps and 1A, 1B and 1C Make-up Pumps. This is reportable as an 8 hour ENS notification under 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) and 10CFR50.72(a)(1)(ii) as a condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to remove residual heat.</br>Flood protection barriers have been established for the affected penetrations. Inspections of the flood protection barriers are ongoing. Further engineering review is being performed to determine the impact of the potential water intrusion into the AIT and AB.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

Upon further Engineering review it was determined that the external flood barrier design deficiency in the Air Intake Tunnel (AIT) did not result in a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function needed to remove residual heat. The AIT sump pump is in the cavity that had the degraded barrier where the in leakage of concern enters through conduits from yard electrical vaults. This pump starts automatically and has capacity in excess of the in leakage during the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). The AIT sump pump's functional capability was confirmed to be available over the past three years.
