| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 1629 EDT on 05/09/2024, the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system was declared inoperable due to a pinhole through-wall leak identified on the seal drain line for 23HOV-1 (HPCI trip throttle valve) downstream of the restricting orifice 23RO-137A. The location of the defect is in the class 2 safety related piping. HPCI is a single train safety system and this notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: This pinhole leak was discovered during normal operator rounds. Although HPCI is declared inoperable and in a 14-day limited condition of operation, the system function remains available. In addition, all other ECCS systems are currently operable. Compensatory measures (walkdowns) have been implemented to ensure the leak rate does not significantly increase.
FitzPatrick performed an additional technical evaluation of the steam leak identified on May 9, 2024. The evaluation concluded that the HPCI system would have remained operable and performed its specified safety function with a postulated complete failure of this pipe, considering its size, location, and impact of the leak. Additionally, all components in the vicinity would have retained their required safety functions. Based on this conclusion, EN 57120 is being retracted. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified R1DO (Elkhiamy). |
