This email is a required notification per MURR Technical Specification (TS) 6.6.c.(1) to report to the NRC Operations Center that an Abnormal Occurrence, as defined by MURR TS 1.1, had occurred. Specifically, MURR was not in compliance with all Limiting Conditions for Operations (LCOs). MURR was not in compliance with two (2) LCOs: 1. TS 3.2.a states, 'All control blades, including the regulating blade, shall be operable during reactor operation,' and 2. TS 3.2.f states, 'The reactor shall not be operated unless the following rod run-in functions are operable.' Specifically, the rod run-in function that occurs when the regulating blade position is less than or equal to 10 percent withdrawn was not operable as TS 3.2.f.8 requires. | ||
The regulating blade drive mechanism was repaired, post-maintenance operability testing was conducted on the regulating blade, and permission from the Reactor Facility Director was obtained prior to the reactor returning to operation later on 4/8/20. | The regulating blade drive mechanism was repaired, post-maintenance operability testing was conducted on the regulating blade, and permission from the Reactor Facility Director was obtained prior to the reactor returning to operation later on 4/8/20. Currently, MURR is at 10 MW. A detailed event report will follow within 14 days as required by MURR TS 6.6.c.(3). | ||
