EN Revision Text: UNANALYZED CONDITION FOR … EN Revision Text: UNANALYZED CONDITION FOR TORNADO GENERATED MISSILES</br>On March 1, 2018, during evaluation of protection for Technical Specifications (TS) equipment from the damaging effects of tornado generated missiles, Quad Cities Station identified a non-conforming condition in the plant design such that specific TS equipment is considered to not be adequately protected from tornado generated missiles. Tornado generated missiles could strike the Unit l, Unit 1/2, and Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generator intake and exhaust stacks, day tank vents, and main fuel oil tank vents. This could result in crimping of the intake/exhaust stacks and vents, which would affect the ability of the Emergency Diesel Generators to perform their function if a tornado would occur.</br>This condition is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as a condition that results in the nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety, and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as a condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident.</br>This condition is being addressed in accordance with NRC enforcement guidance provided in Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 15-002, 'Enforcement Discretion for Tornado-Generated Missile Protection Noncompliance,' Revision 1, and DSS-ISG-2016-01, 'Clarification of Licensee Actions in Receipt of Enforcement Discretion per Enforcement Guidance Memorandum EGM 15-002, Enforcement Discretion for Tornado-Generated Missile Protection Noncompliance,' Revision 1.
