These flow rates are acceptance criteria and therefore resulted in system inoperability. EESW cools the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water (EECW) System which in turn cools various safety related components including the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) System Area Cooler. Unplanned HPCI inoperability occurred due to the Division 2 EECW/EESW inoperability based on loss of the HPCI System Area Cooler. A 14 day Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) was entered for HPCI per LCO 3.5.1.
