Title | Rcs Leakage Identified During Plant Startup Walkdowns |
Event Description | On 2/10/2005, St. Lucie Unit 2 was in Mode 3 returning from refueling outage SL2-15. At 0605 during plant startup walkdowns, 2 leaks were discovered on the instrument line to the 2B1 safety injection header. Closing the instrument root isolation valve to PT-3339 isolated one leak. The second leak was under the insulation and later upon evaluation it was concluded to be ASME section Xl RCS pressure boundary leakage based on its location between the reactor coolant system loop check valves.
The leakage source is from the 2B1 safety injection tank and not directly from the reactor coolant system because the first reactor coolant system loop check valve is maintaining pressure isolation. As a result this is not Technical Specification pressure boundary leakage. The pressure instrument root is downstream of the Safety Injection Tank (SIT) isolation valve and between the two reactor coolant system loop check valves. Isolating the SIT from the header isolated second leak. An engineering response team was formed and repairs are being planned. RCS heat removal is being accomplished via the Steam Generators and the Atmospheric Dump Valves. Feedwater is being supplied to the Steam Generator by the Auxiliary Feedwater System. Plant electrical loads are supplied from offsite sources through the Startup Transformers. The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. |
