Title | Hpci Declared Inoperable Due to Stop Valve Indication Issue |
Event Description | At 1111, on August 31, 2006, during performance of SO-152-006 HPCI was declared inoperable when the HPCI Turbine Stop Valve FV-15612 had dual position indication. Local observation of the stop valve by plant operators and a report from the system engineer verified the valve was closed, and the problem appears to be a limit switch problem. With the lower limit switch not responding correctly the system engineer informed the control room the HPCI Ramp Generator is not reset, which will result in an over speed condition of the HPCI turbine if an actuation signal is received.
To prevent possible damage to the HPCI turbine, control room personnel overrode HPCI injection in accordance with plant operating procedures. Plans are being developed to investigate the problem, and adjust the limit switch if required. This is being reported as an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function required to mitigate the consequences of an accident in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The licensee has entered the provisions of TS 3.5.1 for this condition. No other accident mitigation systems are currently inoperable. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
