At 1400 (CDT) on September 9, 2013, plant At 1400 (CDT) on September 9, 2013, plant personnel found HELB barrier HATCH-1/TB blocked. The hatch is diamond plate steel located on the turbine floor. Pallets, a fan and a gantry were positioned on top of the hatch possibly preventing pressure relief during a HELB event. This issue is being reported as an unanalyzed condition per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B).
