LocalShutdownIndication panels)wasinitially questioned and(2)thedate(December 22,1987)whentheknownproblemwasre-ported.Specifically, onNovember9,1987theengineerwhoiden-tifiedtheconcerninitiated aProblemReport.ProblemReportsareusedtodocumenteitherknownnonconformances orpotential nonconformances andtoassureproperinvestigation intothedocumented concern.ForthecasereportedinthisLER,theengineerlaterconcluded, onNovember9,1987,thattheconcernidentified ontheProblemReportwasnotaproblem(i.e.,acondition whichwascontrarytoregulatory requirements wasnotidentified).

Therefore, theengineerdidnotforwardtheProblemReporttomanagement.

Approximately seventoninedayslater,theengineer's supervisor questioned theengineeraboutthestatusoftheconcern.Atthattime(approximately, November18,1987)thesupervisor concluded thattheelectrical isolation concernmayhaveanimpactonregulatory (10CFR50,AppendixR)compliance.

Therefore, thesupervisor hadtheProblemReportforwarded totheappropriate management (ProblemAssessment Group),sothataninvestigation wouldbeconducted pursuanttotheprocedural requirements whichgovernsuchaninvestigation.

OnDecember21,1987engineering andlicensing reviewsconcluded thateventhoughcertainprocessvariables requiredby10CFR50,AppendixRcouldbelostincertainfirescenarios, sufficient alternative information wasstillavailable.

Therefore, itwasconcluded thataregulatory compliance problemdidnotexist.However,onDecember22,1987itwasconcluded thataproblemdidexist.Specifically, asinglefiremighteliminate theredundant Alternative ShutdownCapability instrumentation requiredby10CFR50AppendixR,SectionIII.L.Atthistime(December 22,1987),whenthisproblemwasfirstidentified asreportable:

(1)therequirements of10CFR50.72werefulfilled (1650hours)and(2)areportper10CFR50.73wasinitiated.

Insummary,onNovember9,1987,theengineerwhohadfirstquestioned theLSIpanelelectrical isolation, concluded thataproblemdidnotexist.Onapproximately November18,1987,theengineer's supervisor, throughconsultation withherassistant supervisor andalicensing

engineer, concluded thattheconcernwarranted formalinvestigation.

OnDecember21,1987engineering andlicensing concluded thattherequirements ofAppendixRwerebeingfulfilled, inspiteofelectrical isolation concerns.

OnDecember22,1987,theconclusion wasreachedthatcertainconcernspost-fire processvariables (e.g.,T-HOTandT-COLD)couldnotbeassured.Therefore, appropriate reportability actionswereinitiated.

AnalsisofEventThecondition isnotconsistent withtherequirements of10CFR50,AppendixR,andassuch,isnotconsistent withourdesignbasis.Theeventhasbeendetermined reportable per10CFR50.73,(a)(2)(ii)(B).

AppendixRrequiresthatadequateinstrumentation beavailable toensuresafeshutdowninthecaseofasinglefire.IfafireatoneoftheLSIpanelshadledtothelossofpowertoallofoneUnits'SIpanels,WideRangeT-HotandT-Coldindications wouldhavebeenlost(bothlocalandcontrolroom).According toIEInformation Notice84-09,theseprocessvariables arerequ'ired forsafeshutdown.

However,sufficient information wouldhavebeenavailable totheoperatorforachieving safeshutdownintheuseofthein-corethermocouple indications and/ortheuseofmainsteampressureandsaturation temperature curves.IfpowerwaslosttoallLSIpanelsduetoafireatanyLSIpanellocation, allindications onallLSIpanelswouldbelost.However,withtheexception ofWideRangeT-HotandT-Cold,alloftheprocessvariables indicated locallyattheLSIpanelswouldnotberequiredlocallyduetotheiravailability inthecontrolroomandthefactthatafireatanyLSIpanellocationwouldnotrequireremoteshutdown.
