On November 7, 2016, at 1609 [EST], with the reactor at 100 percent core thermal power and steady state conditions, the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) system was declared inoperable. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station was performing planned quarterly testing per Technical Specifications 4.13.A.1. During a review of the HPCI pump data taken during the test, it was determined that the recorded vibration reading on the main pump outboard horizontal point (P4H) was 0.8335 in/sec which exceeds the IST required action range high limit of less
~han or equal to 0.8~0 in/sec. Accordingly, the HPCI pump was declared inoperable.
rThe Limiting Condition for Operation Action Statement 3.5.C.2 was entered and planned troubleshooting into the cause of the high vibration was started. This event is reportable under 10 CFR 50. 73(a)(2)(v)(D), any event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed
~o mitigate the consequences of an accident.
rThere was no impact to public health and safety from this condition.
NRC FORM 366 (02-2014)
REPORT ABILITY This report is submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(D), any event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident.
PREVIOUS EVENTS A review of PNPS Licensee Event Reports for the past five years did not identify any similar occurrences of declaring HPCI inoperable due to high vibration readings.
