On 12/08/16 at approximately 2237 (EST), t … On 12/08/16 at approximately 2237 (EST), the Unit 2 HPCI (High Pressure Coolant Injection) system failed to meet surveillance testing requirements for achieving rated flow at greater than or equal to a minimum test pressure established per the surveillance. Operations declared the HPCI system inoperable and entered Technical Specification 3.5.1 Condition C for HPCI being inoperable. Other standby systems (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling and low pressure emergency core cooling systems) are operable.</br>HPCI is a single train system. Therefore, per NUREG-1022, this condition is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of a system required to mitigate the consequences of a design event.</br>This condition has been entered into the Corrective Action program (IR 3951006).
