| Title | Entry Into & Exit from Technical Specification 3.6.5.1.1 Due to Open Air Lock Doors |
| Event Description | Station Personnel simultaneously opened the inner and outer air lock doors from Unit 2 (U2) Reactor Enclosure to the Refuel Floor. Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment Integrity was declared Inoperable per U2 TS 3.6.5.1.1, due to failure to meet surveillance requirement U2 TS 4.6.5.1.1.b.2, due to the report of both containment airlock doors on 352' momentarily open at the same time. Reactor Enclosure D/P[differential pressure] remained steady at 0.35 inches vacuum water gauge.
Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment Integrity was declared Operable following verification that at least one air lock door to each access of secondary containment was closed per U2 TS 4.6.5.1.1.b.2. Total [Limiting Condition for Operation] time was approximately 5 seconds. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed. |
