| ENS 55321 | 22 June 2021 16:55:00 | At 1208 (EDT) on 6/22/2021, the high-energy line break door separating Auxiliary Feedwater Train Rooms 1 and 2 was not able to be latched following normal usage. The door was able to be closed, protecting Train 1 equipment from a break in Room 2. However, it is assumed a break in Room 1 would push the unlatched door open and allow high-energy fluids to enter Room 2. This condition is not bounded by existing design and licensing documents; however, it poses no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The door was able to be latched at 1215 (EDT) on 6/22/2021 following repairs to the door latch interlocking mechanism. Therefore, this event is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). No other equipment was inoperable during this event. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
| ENS 52079 | 10 July 2016 10:29:00 | At 2342 (EDT), June 30, 2016, the Control Room received panel alarms associated with Safety Features Actuation System (SFAS) Channel 2. Subsequent investigation revealed the alarms were due to a loss of supplied power caused, in part, by a level permissive in the Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) to be inoperable. With SFAS Channel 1 BWST level transmitter previously declared inoperable for maintenance, the on-shift operating crew did not correctly identify that technical specification (TS) 3.3.5, Condition B applied which is a 6-hour shutdown required action. At 0245, following a duty team call when the condition was re-assessed, the crew entered the proper additional Condition B and correctly identified they were approximately 3 hours into a 6-hour shutdown specification. At 0330 the condition was inappropriately exited on the premise that an operable but degraded situation could be justified. The plant did not initiate a shutdown required by technical specification but, in retrospect, should have initiated and completed a shutdown within 6 hours of 2342. On July 1 at 1351, the BWST level transmitter for SFAS Channel 1 was repaired and declared operable (and exited TS 3.3.5 Condition B), however, the total time exceeded the 6-hour shutdown action. The plant remained stable throughout this event. On July 9, 2016, while internally discussing the event among FENOC senior leadership, it was determined that a 4-hour report would have been made if the shutdown was initiated. Hence, this report is retrospective in that a 10 CFR 50.72(h)(2)(i) required report should have been made upon the initiation of any nuclear plant shutdown required by plant's technical specification. A Licensee Event Report will be provided pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B) as a condition that was prohibited by the plant's technical specification. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. (At 1325 EDT on July 1, it was determined that the justification for SFAS channel 2 BWST level permissive to be operable but degraded could not be supported and reentered TS 3.3.5 Condition B.) |
