The following information was provided by … The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and fax:</br>At 2324 CDT, on July 28, 2025, control room air conditioning (CRAC) 'B' tripped at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) approximately 5 minutes after loading the compressor by adjusting the thermostat (down) per standby service water quarterly surveillance instructions. CRAC 'A' was manually started at 2326 CDT and at 2329 CDT it subsequently tripped. After investigating the compressors and breakers per the alarm response instructions with no abnormal indications, CRAC 'B' was restarted and tripped again. Cooling water was rotated from plant service water to standby service water and CRAC 'A' was successfully restarted at 2358 CDT and remains in service.</br>While both control room air conditioning subsystems were inoperable GGNS entered technical specification limiting condition of operation (LCO) 3.7.4 condition 'B', actions requiring verification of control room temperatures less than 90 degrees F and restoring one subsystem to operable status in 7 days. Control room temperatures reached 79 degrees F, maximum, before CRAC 'A' was restarted. GGNS has exited condition 'B' in LCO 3.7.4 and entered condition 'A' to restore CRAC 'B' in 30 days.</br>This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as an event or condition which could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function.</br>The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified.</br>* * * RETRACTION FROM JEFFERY HARDY TO SAMUEL COLVARD AT 1648 EDT ON 07/30/2025 * * *</br>Investigation of the cause of the control room air conditioning (CRAC) `A' and `B' trips identified a plant service water / standby service water (SSW) crosstie valve which failed in its safety-related (closed) position as the cause.
