Title | Identified Unsealed Flood Barrier Penetrations |
Event Description | During investigations of flood barrier penetrations, two approximately 4 inch conduits have been identified that are not sealed. These conduits penetrate the south wall of the auxiliary building near the transformers into room 19. Flooding through the penetrations could have impacted the ability of the station's auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps to perform their design accident mitigation functions.
This eight-hour notification is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v). The penetrations are at an approximate elevation of 1007 [feet]. The river level has been less than 997 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL) since prior to December 1, 2010. The AFW pumps are operable. There are not any indications of conditions that might result in a flood. Actions are in progress to plug the penetrations. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
