| Title | Drywell to Torus Vacuum Breaker Past Operability |
| Description | During the cycle preceding the 2015 refueling outage, two evaluations associated with torus to drywell vacuum breaker operation were developed due to issues identified in the first quarter 2014. These included: CAP 1417977, Failure of drywell-torus vacuum breaker to close, which identified an occasion of dual indication during Procedure 0143 procedure. A second occurrence was observed several days later and was documented in CAP 1418471, AO-2382A Torus-to-DW vacuum breaker closed indication anomaly. CAP 1420318, DW-Torus vacuum breaker work performed with inadequate PMT, identified the PMT following shaft sealing component (O-ring) replacement during the 2013 outage was not performed as planned. The licensee evaluations for these CAP conditions concluded the Drywell to Torus vacuum breakers were operable. However, neither evaluation specifically considered the effect of an interference between the vacuum breaker test lever and vacuum breaker test actuator stem. Since this specific mechanism was not addressed in these two evaluations, past operability of the torus to drywell vacuum breakers was questioned. As a result, the licensee established a past operability evaluation be conducted via CAPs 1479198 and 1478212. The licensee completed its past operability evaluation on June 26, 2015. After review, the inspectors conveyed a number of questions to the licensees engineering staff in regard to the past operability evaluation. Although the licensee provided responses for the majority of these questions during the remainder inspection quarter, the licensee had requested external input in regard to one of the inspectors questions. Specifically, inspectors questioned whether it was possible for the bottom of the lever arm to be at an elevation above the top of the actuator stem at valve disc full open and if so, could the valve test lever arm have come to rest on top of the actuator stem, potentially impacting the ability of the vacuum breaker valve to close. Upon the close of this inspection period, that input had not yet been finalized and made available to the inspectors. As a result, this issue was considered to be an unresolved item pending a review of the licensees response and past operability for CAPs 1479198 and 1478212, including and the licensee response to open inspector questions. |
