| event text = At 1914 EST on 12/12/12, TVA determined that Sequoyah Unit 1 and 2 were at risk of flooding into the ERCW [Emergency Raw Cooling Water] Station Building during a design basis flood due to conduit penetrations not being filled with material required to make the building water tight. The lack of a barrier would allow flood waters to enter the ERCW building at a rate greater than the sump pumps can remove creating a condition that could result in the ERCW pumps being unavailable to perform their design function during a flood event above plant grade.

This condition places both units in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety [10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(ii)(B)], and could prevent the fulfillment of the safety related function of ERCW needed to shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition [10CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v)(A)].
