| Title | Unanalysed Condition - Inadequate Cable Separation |
| Event Description | On 11/2/04 at 1400, Seabrook Station determined that a potential scenario involving a fire could result in the loss of the Train A and Train B centrifugal charging pumps (CCP). During a fire, inadequate cable separation could result in the spurious closure of one of two series volume control tank (VCT) outlet valves. This would result in a loss of suction to the operating CCP and eventual loss of the pump. The second CCP is assumed to be lost as a result of the same fire. This condition was concluded to be reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as a condition that resulted in the plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety.
Compensatory measures include establishing a roving fire watch in the affected fire zones, operator briefings, and limiting combustible material in the affected fire zones. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
