| Title | Plant Shutdown Required by Technical Specifications Due to Containment Isolation Valve Over Leak Rate Limit |
| Event Description | This event is being reported in accordance with 10CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i), 'Initiation of a Shutdown Required by Technical Specifications.'
At 2043 hours0.0236 days <br />0.568 hours <br />0.00338 weeks <br />7.773615e-4 months <br /> [EST] on February 06, 2014, the Perry Nuclear Power Plant entered Technical Specification 3.6.1.3 Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs), action C.1, due to leakage identified during local leak rate testing of the containment penetration for the Containment and Drywell Purge system. Leakage was identified on the outboard containment isolation valve resulting in the plant exceeding the limit for secondary containment bypass leakage. The Containment and Drywell Purge system penetration is normally isolated and remains isolated in accordance with Technical Specifications. Action C.1 requires restoration of the leakage rate within four hours. At 0043 hours4.976852e-4 days <br />0.0119 hours <br />7.109788e-5 weeks <br />1.63615e-5 months <br /> on February 7, 2014, the plant entered Technical Specification 3.6.1.3, 'Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs)', action E as the leakage rate was not restored. Action E requires the plant be in Mode 3 in 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and Mode 4 in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. At 0600 hours0.00694 days <br />0.167 hours <br />9.920635e-4 weeks <br />2.283e-4 months <br /> on February 07, 2014, the Perry Nuclear Power Plant initiated a shutdown in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.1.3, action E. Repairs to restore the penetration leakage to within allowable limits are in progress. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
At 0943 hours0.0109 days <br />0.262 hours <br />0.00156 weeks <br />3.588115e-4 months <br /> [EST] the reactor shutdown to comply with Technical Specification 3.6.1.3 action E was terminated [with the reactor at 42% power]. A blind flange was installed downstream of the outboard containment isolation valve. Local leak rate testing of the containment penetration for the Containment and Drywell Purge system verified that leakage was within the limits for secondary containment bypass leakage. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The licensee has commenced increasing reactor power. Notified R3DO (Orlikowski) |
