Event Description | EN Revision Text: SECONDARY CONTAINMENT DECLARED INOPERABLE DUE TO POTENTIAL EQUIPMENT FAILURE
At 1405 CDT, Secondary Containment differential pressure exceeded the Technical Specification limit due to a potential equipment failure. This required entry into [Limiting Condition of Operation] LCO 3.6.4.1 Condition A for Secondary Containment inoperability. An event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function requires an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> report per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C) for Control of Rad Release. Secondary Containment differential pressure was restored to greater than or equal to 0.25 inches vacuum, water gauge in accordance with plant procedures. Secondary Containment was declared operable at 1600 CDT. The issue has been entered in the Corrective Action Program and investigation of the cause is in progress. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been informed of this condition.
CNS [Cooper Nuclear Station] is retracting the 8-hour notification made for event 54049 which occurred on May 5, 2019 at 1405 CDT. Subsequent evaluation determined that no equipment failure occurred. In addition, there were no procedure inadequacies or human performance issues identified. The indications observed were expected and part of a pre-planned evolution which included entry into a planned LCO for the Secondary Containment. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified the R4DO (Kozal). |
