| Title | Appendix R Assessment on Remote Shutdown Panel |
| Event Description | The licensee provided the following information via facsimile:
On 6/2/05, while performing an Appendix 'R' assessment, it was determined that the capability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions, as required by Appendix 'R', has not been adequately demonstrated. Specifically, a postulated fire requiring the evacuation of the Control Room could also cause a spurious hot short in the protective relaying circuitry for the credited division of essential electrical power and subsequent loss of that division. It was recently determined that the hot short could occur at anytime during the transient, whereas previous evaluations had assumed any such hot short would be associated with the initiating event. Consequently, existing compensatory measures would only be implemented if the adverse consequences were apparent, and therefore might not be implemented within the timeframe required to assure satisfactory results. The result is that Appendix 'R' requirements are not met, and an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety may exist. A 30 day LCO was entered at 1749 per Tech Spec LCO 3.3.3.2 Function 4.e for the Remote Shutdown Panel 'B' Essential 4160 Instrumentation transfer and control. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
