| Title | Unanalyzed Condition Involving Normally Open Battery Room Doors |
| Event Description | At CPNPP [Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant], eyewash stations are located just outside of the Class 1E battery rooms. The battery room doors are normally open and if a MELB [Moderate Energy Line Break] occurred on the demineralized water line connected to the eyewash station, the water could potentially spray onto the Class 1E safety related batteries. If this occurred, an electrical short could potentially cause a loss of both the batteries and the associated battery chargers.
This condition has been conservatively determined to be reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as an unanalyzed condition. Currently, the demineralized water lines on the battery room eyewash stations for both Units 1 and 2 have been isolated, therefore, all safety related equipment is currently operable. Comanche Peak Engineering is performing a past operability review of this condition. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
On February 23, 2016 at 2045 [EST], Comanche Peak reported an unanalyzed condition per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). Specifically, the reported condition involved eyewash stations that are located just outside of the Class 1E battery rooms. The battery room doors are normally open and if a Moderate Energy Line Break (MELB) occurred on the demineralized water line connected to the eyewash station, the water could potentially spray onto the Class 1E safety related batteries. If this occurred, an electrical short could have potentially caused a loss of both the batteries and the associated battery chargers. This condition was conservatively determined to be reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as an unanalyzed condition. The demineralized water lines on the battery room eyewash stations for both Units 1 and 2 were isolated, and Comanche Peak Engineering initiated a past operability evaluation of this condition. The past operability evaluation has been completed and shows that there are no operability concerns regarding a MELB impact on the Class 1E batteries, DC bus or Class 1E battery chargers. Therefore, Comanche Peak requests that the February 23, 2016, 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) reportable event for Units 1 & 2 be retracted. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified the R4DO (Whitten). |
