At 1710 EDT on June 11, 2021, a Technical Specification required shutdown was initiated at Plant Hatch Unit 1. Technical Specification Condition 3.4.4.B
unidentified LEAKAGE increase not within limits, was entered due to a greater than 2 gpm increase in
unidentified LEAKAGE within the previous
24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period in MODE 1. This specification was entered on June 11, 2021, at 1615 EDT with a REQUIRED ACTION to restore leakage increase within limits within
4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. This REQUIRED ACTION could not be completed within the COMPLETION TIME; therefore, a Technical Specification required shutdown was initiated, and this event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per
10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i).
There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.
The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.

Upon further review of the leakage rates, it was determined that at 1900 EDT on 6/11/2021 the drywell floor drain unidentified leakage increased greater than 2 gpm within the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> while in MODE 1. Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.4.B was entered to reduce leakage increase to within limits within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />. At 2000 EDT on 6/11/2021 unidentified leakage was reduced below the 2 gpm increase within the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> due to actions taken to lower reactor power and pressure. Therefore, the TS required shutdown per TS 3.4.4.C was not applicable. Thus Event Report 55303 is being retracted.
The NRC resident has been notified of the retraction.
Notified R2DO (Miller).
