EXPECTED SUBMISSION DATE) []NO DATE 06 30 2015 ABSTRACT (Limit to 1400 spaces, i.e., approximately 15 single-spaced typewritten lines)During the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) Unit 2 refueling outage of Spring 2015, all eleven safety relief valves (SRVs) were removed for as-found lift setpoint pressure testing and recertification.
Three of the eleven valves were found to have lift setpoints of their pilot valves outside the +/-3 percent tolerance required by Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.3. The SRV pilot valves were replaced with certified spares before the startup of Unit 2. Investigation into the cause of the event is still underway.
A supplement to this report will be submitted to provide the results of the investigation and any corrective actions to address the causes. The safety significance of this event is minimal. Although the SRV setpoint limits required by the TS were exceeded (i.e., 3.19 percent high, 3.57 percent high, and 3.98 percent low), the plant condition is bounded by the Brunswick Unit 2 Cycle 21 Reload Safety Analysis, demonstrating that the SRVs could have performed their safety function of limiting reactor vessel overpressure.
The plant's TS require ten of the eleven installed valves to be operable.
Since only eight were operable, this event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) for operation prohibited by the plant's TS.NRC FORM 366 (02-2014)}}
