CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
A Standing Order was implemented for control room personnel prohibiting plant evolutions with a vacuum being drawn on the RPV until all associated issues with TS 3.4.11 have been resolved.
PNPP will submit a license amendment request to revise the P/T curves in TS 3.4.11 to allow operations with a vacuum on the vessel.
The Operations Training Lesson Plan and Presentation related to TS 3.4.11 was revised to include lessons learned from this event.
PREVIOUS SIMILAR EVENTS
A review of Licensee Event Reports and the corrective action database for the past three years determined that one similar event had occurred.
LER 2011-002-01, Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications and Plant Shutdown due to Unit 1 Startup Transformer Issues, documented a misinterpretation of TS resulting in the conclusion that the backfeed lineup could not be credited as a qualified off-site circuit to comply with TS. Corrective actionswere focused on resolving the issues with crediting the backfeed lineup and could not be reasonably expected to prevent the event in LER 2014-001.
COMMITMENTS
There are no regulatory commitments contained in this LER. Actions described in this document represent intended or planned actions, are described for the NRC information, and are not regulatory commitments.
