| Title | 60-DAY Optional Telephonic Notification for Invalid Actuation of Containment Isolation Valves |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
This 60-day optional telephone notification is being made in lieu of an LER [Licensee Event Report] submittal as allowed by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1). This notification is made pursuant to the reporting requirements specified in 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) for an invalid actuation of one of the systems listed in 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(B). At approximately 1316 Eastern Standard Time [EST] on January 4, 2022, during performance of isolation logic periodic testing associated with Primary Containment Isolation System Groups 2 and 6, an invalid actuation of Group 6 Primary Containment Isolation Valves (PCIVs) (i.e., Containment Atmospheric Control/Monitoring (CAC/CAM) and Post Accident Sampling (PASS) isolation valves) occurred. This resulted in a Division I CAC isolation signal, a full CAM isolation, and a full PASS isolation. Reactor Building Ventilation isolated and Standby Gas Treatment started per design. No manipulations associated with the isolation or reset logic were ongoing at the time. Troubleshooting determined that the Group 6 isolation signal resulted from a high resistance contact on a relay associated with the main stack radiation high-high isolation logic. This condition interrupted electrical continuity and prevented the Group 6 logic from resetting. Following cleaning of the relay contacts, the isolation logic remained in the reset state. The main stack radiation monitor is a shared component that sends isolation signals to Unit 1 and Unit 2. It was verified that the radiation monitor was not in trip electrically and there were no Unit 2 actuations. Therefore, the actuation was not initiated in response to actual plant conditions, it was not an intentional manual initiation, and there were no parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the system. As a result, this event has been determined to be an invalid actuation. This event did not result in any adverse impact to the health and safety of the public. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. |
