Title | Degraded Condition Due To Reactor Coolant System Leak |
Event Description | On July 8, 2015, Fort Calhoun Station was in Mode 1, 100% when personnel identified an increase in the Reactor Coolant System unidentified leakage rate. As a result, personnel performed a containment entry and identified the source coming from the Reactor Coolant Pump 3A seal area. Based on this observation, a monitoring plan was established and on July 20, 2015 the leak rate exceeded the pre-establish leak limit and operators manually shutdown the reactor. On July 22, 2015, at approximately 1330 CDT, personnel identified the source of the seal leak as a crack on the middle seal inlet line, which is part of the reactor coolant system boundary. Maintenance personnel have since repaired the seal line and it has passed post-maintenance testing.
The 8-hour verbal report is being made post event due to additional review of the leakage condition identifying the leakage constituted a degraded condition due to be material defects in the primary coolant system. The leak rate was between 1 and 2 gpm. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
