Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR) 1-VS-E-4A was out of service due to scheduled bus maintenance resulting in the loss of the normal and emergency power supply. The "B" chiller became inoperable due to the hand operated rocker switch inadvertently being placed in the "OFF" pos1t1on.
The switch is located on the chiller mounted control panel and alllows local operation to turn on or off the chiller. Because two inoperable MCR/ESGR chillers is a condition not allowed by* Technical Specification (TS) 3.23.C.1.a, an action statement requiring Hot Shutdown within six hours was entered in accordance with TS 3.0.1. At 1202 hours0.0139 days <br />0.334 hours <br />0.00199 weeks <br />4.57361e-4 months <br />, the "B" chiller was restarted and returned to service, terminating the .six hour action statement.
No significant safety consequences resulted from this event. This event is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73 (a)(2)(i)(B).

O JDESCRIPTIQN QF THE EVENT On March 26, 1992, Unit 1 was at Cold Shutdown anp Unit 2 was at 100% power. Main Control Room/Emergency Switchgear Room (MCR/ESGR)
Chillers (EIIS-VI-CHU) 1-VS-E-4B and 1-VS-E-4C were in operation.
The "A" chiller, 1-VS-E-4A was out of service due to scheduled electrical bus maintenance resulting in the loss of the normal and emergency power supply. At 1_150 hours, the Unit's Senior Reactor Operator noticed that the "B" chiller was off. An operator was immediately dispatched to investigate.
At 1155 hours0.0134 days <br />0.321 hours <br />0.00191 weeks <br />4.394775e-4 months <br />, the operator reported the rocker switch (EIIS-VI-HS) on the chiller mounted control panel was in .the "OFF" position.
With the switch off, the "B" chiller would not operate. With the "B" chiller inoperable and the "A chiller previously inoperable, a condition not ~Bowed by Technical Specification (TS) 3.23 existed. TS 3.23.C.1.a requires that MCR/ESGR Chillers "A", "B" and "C" be operable when eitlier unit is above Cold Shutdown.
TS 3.23.C.1.b.
permits. '* one chH}er to be inoperable for a maximum of seven days. With the "A" chiller previously inoperable for bus maintenance, a seven day action statement .in accordance with TS 3.23.C.1.b was in effect. When the "B" chiller became inoperable due to the manual rocker switch being in the "OFF" position, two of the three MCR/ESGR chillers were inoperable'.
This condition is not allowed by TS 3.23.C.1.a and at 1150 hours0.0133 days <br />0.319 hours <br />0.0019 weeks <br />4.37575e-4 months <br /> on March 26, 1992, a six hour action statement to Hot Shutdown was entered in accordance with TS 3.0.1 due to two of three MCR/ESGR chillers*
being inoperable, a condition not addressed by TS 3.23.
- Tlh.is report is required by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as the station was operated . in a condition not allowed by Technical Specifications.
- 2. 0 SJGNIFICANT SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND IMPLICATIONS NRC Form 366A (6-89) Chillers "A", "B" and "C" are part of the MCR/ESGR Air Conditioning System. This is a shared system designed to maintain the Unit 1 and Unit 2 MCR and ESGR areas at or* below ambient design temperatures during normal operation and design basis accident conditions.
Two chillers are required to operate m order to remove post-accident design heat loads, as_suming worst case ambient air temperature and service water temperature.
With the "A" chiller inoperable for bus maintenance and the "B"
- im>perable due to the inadvertent placement of the rocker switch in the. "OFF" position, the "C" chiller would have continued running under accident conditions.
Based on design calculations, this created the NRC Form 368A (9-831 \. FACILITY NAME (11 LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER) TEXT CONTINUATION U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED 0MB NO. 3150-0104 EXPIRES: 8/31 /88 DOCKET NUMBER 121 VEAR LER NUMBER 161 ;:;:::;:;:

- exceeded illl the MCR and ESGR areas in an accident situation.
However, this condition existed only for a brief period of time . (12 minutes).
Temperature rise in the MCR and ESGR areas would have been limited in an accident situation since service water temperature was below that a:ssumed in design calculations.
- The rate of temperature rise would also . have been limited since one chiller remained operable throughout the .event. In addition, past experience with a complete loss of MCR and ESGR air conditioning has shown that temperatures have not increased as rapidly as indicated by the design calculations.
Therefore, it
- is concluded that no safety consequences resulted from this event. * .CAUSE OF THE EVENT The cause of this event was the inadvertent repositioning of the manual rocker switch on the "B" chiller panel in the "OFF" position due to cognizant personnel error. Scaffolding was being erected around the "A" and "B" chillers by contract personnel.
The scaffolding is being used to protect the equipment
- in the area against , damage from falling objects such as tools while work is being performed overhead.
The switch being in the "OFF" position was . due to contract personnel inadvertently bumping the rocker
- switch which placed it in the "OFF" po:sition and rendered the "B" chiller inoperable. . A pre-job brief had been conducted for the personnel erecting the scaffolding.
The. safety significance of the chillers and the dose. proximity of the scaffolding being erected to the control .panel switches had been d~scussed.
- 4. 0, IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION{S)
At 1202 hours0.0139 days <br />0.334 hours <br />0.00199 weeks <br />4.57361e-4 months <br />, the "B" chiller was restarted and returned*
to service. The six hour action statement to Hot Shutdown was exited. 5. O AUDITION AL CORRECTIVE ACTION{S}
On March 27, 1992 at 0906 hours0.0105 days <br />0.252 hours <br />0.0015 weeks <br />3.44733e-4 months <br />, l-VS-E-4A was returned to service and the seven day action statement was exited. 6. O AC:flONS TO PREVENT RECURRENCE An upgrade of the MCR/ESGR Air conditioning System is in progress.
The upgrade will include the installation of two additional 50% capacity chillers.
These* additionai
- chillers will increase operational flexibility and improve the capacity to withstand single failures.
