During a scheduled surveillance test on 3/ … During a scheduled surveillance test on 3/18/2016 at 1128 (CDT), Fort Calhoun ultrasonic testing technicians discovered a void on the common shutdown cooling heat exchanger discharge piping. This piping is normally isolated during power operation, and the void does not adversely affect the Containment Spray function, Low Pressure Safety Injection function, or High Pressure Safety Injection function. </br> </br>This isolated piping with the void is placed in service only during shutdown cooling operation. The fluid height measured was 10.8 inches, compared to the required height of 11.7 inches for the surveillance test. The void could potentially complicate the initiation of shutdown cooling in the required mode of operation. </br>This piping was last tested satisfactory on 12/31/2015. The source of the void is still under investigation.</br>Fort Calhoun maintenance was successful in venting the void on 3/18/2016 at 1704 CDT.</br>The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.</br>* * * RETRACTION AT 1701 EDT ON 05/16/16 FROM JAKE WALKER TO KARL DIEDERICH * * * </br>Following the 8-hour 10 CFR 50.72 notification made on 3/18/16 (EN 51807), further engineering analysis has determined that the ensuing water hammer transient would not have prevented the shutdown cooling system from performing its required safety functions.
