| Title | Two Diesel Generators Concurrently Inoperable |
| Event Description | On November 5, 2019 at 1811 CST, station service water A and the Division 1 diesel generator (DG) were declared inoperable based on the results of an engineering evaluation of a Class 3 piping leak. This was determined to be a potential inability to fulfill a safety function due to concurrent inoperability of two emergency diesel generators. Division 3 DG was inoperable due to planned maintenance on November 4, 2019 at 0000 CST.
This event is being reported an 8-hour non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v)(D) as an event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function (Accident Mitigation). Division 3 DG and high pressure core spray have been restored, and the fulfillment of the accident mitigation safety function has been restored. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified.
This was initially reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). However, subsequent engineering evaluation determined that the condition did not affect safety system operability. The evaluation determined that the leakage was within allowable limits and piping structural integrity was not challenged at this time nor in the past three years. The Division 1 DG and SSW A were at the time of discovery OPERABLE and EN54371 is being retracted. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Drake). |
