Title | Main Plant Vent Radiation Monitoring Unavailable |
Event Description | At 0417 EST on December 17, 2014, the Shift Manager was notified by Radiation Protection (RP) personnel that the Unit 2 AMP-200 radiation monitor used for backup monitoring of the Unit 2 Main Plant Vent when the Unit 2 Wide Range Noble Gas Monitor (WRNGM) is [Out of Service] OOS had experienced a malfunction that caused it to spike high for approximately five minutes before returning to a baseline value of 0 mR/hr. At the same time, the Unit 2 WRNGM was already out of service for the completion of a planned surveillance test. The Unit 2 WRNGM had been removed from service at 0740 EST on December 16, 2014.
While the WRNGM is OOS, the AMP-200 radiation monitor is procedurally relied upon for being used as the means for determining Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency entry criteria under the applicable Emergency Action Level (EAL) Initial Conditions (ICs). The Unit 2 Main Vent Gaseous Monitor is procedurally relied upon for being used as the means for determining Unusual Event entry criteria for the same EAL ICs and remained in service during this time. After investigation by site RP and Maintenance personnel, the functionality of the Unit 2 AMP-200 was restored at 0700 EST on December 17, 2014 following a successful source check of the instrument. The investigation identified that the AMP-200 cable contacts were found wet and were subsequently cleaned and dried. Actions have been taken to prevent reoccurrence of the wetting condition. During the time from 0417 to 0700 EST on December 17, 2014, Unit 2 had a condition that represented a loss of emergency assessment capability and is a reportable condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified and the NRC the notification time with the NRC Headquarters was 1210 EST. |
