| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | Technical Specification (TS) 2.4(1)a.iv requires that all valves, piping, and interlocks associated with the components of the containment cooling system required to function during accident conditions be operable. In the event that any of these components, required to function during accident conditions become inoperable, the reactor shall be placed in a hot shutdown condition within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. The containment spray pumps and the associated piping are part of the containment cooling system. Prior to making modifications to containment spray piping in 2015, the operability of this piping would have been challenged by a main steam line break or a loss of coolant accident due to thermal stresses induced in the piping after a rise in containment temperature after the postulated event. Operation prior to the implementation of the modifications was a violation of the technical specification requirements to maintain operability of containment cooling systems. The violation is more than minor because it is associated with the design control attribute of the mitigating systems cornerstone because the failure to anticipate the rise in containment spray piping temperature dates back to the original design of the plant. This adversely affects the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The violation was of very low safety significance because although the subject piping was inoperable due to exceeding code specified stress limits, analysis showed that the piping would have been able to perform its safety function to deliver adequate containment spray flow in the event of an accident. The licensee entered the issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report 2015-04578. |
