| UNANTICIPATED REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING (RCIC) SUCTION VALVE ISOLATION  |
| DURING PERFORMANCE OF A REVISED TEST PROCEDURE                               |
|                                                                              |
| The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee:   |
|                                                                              |
| "During the performance of CPS No. 9054.04 (RCIC Automatic Suction Shift     |
| Test), the RCIC suction valve from the suppression pool (1E51-F031)          |
| automatically isolated on a valid low steam line pressure signal.  This      |
| isolation was not intended to occur during the performance of this           |
| procedure."                                                                  |
|                                                                              |
| "The isolation occurred following the removal of a simulated RCIC steam line |
| pressure signal of > 60 psig.  When the current steam line pressure of 0     |
| psig was picked up by the logic, the 1E51-F031 isolated as designed."  Upon  |
| receipt of the valid low steam line pressure signal, all systems functioned  |
| as required.  There was nothing unusual or not understood.                   |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee stated that the test procedure was newly revised and that some  |
| of the steps had been swapped.  The steps should have requested opening of   |
| the other suction source, closure of this suction source, and then removal   |
| of the simulator.                                                            |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.                            |
|                                                                              |

| "The Low RCIC steam supply line pressure indicates that the pressure of the  |
| steam may be too low to continue operation of the RCIC turbine.  The         |
| isolation function for this valve is for equipment protection and is not     |
| assumed in any transient or accident analysis in the UFSAR.  However, the    |
| instrumentation providing the trip isolation signal also provides a diverse  |
| signal to indicate a possible system break.                                  |
|                                                                              |
| "A review of this event has concluded that this issue is not reportable      |
| under the provisions of 10CFR50.72 as an actuation of an engineered safety   |
| feature.  The basis for this conclusion is the isolation of valve 1E51-F031  |
| is an actuation of a single component in a complex system (including the     |
| RCIC, Containment and Reactor Vessel Isolation, and Leak Detection Systems), |
| and the actuation of this valve, by itself, would not mitigate the           |
| consequences of the possible system leak that could cause the low RCIC steam |
| line pressure condition.  This determination is consistent with the guidance |
| provided in NUREG 1022, Section 3.32."                                       |

| "On March 17, 1999 at 03:36, the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System was   |
| declared inoperable due to being isolated because of a large steam leak from |
| the packing on the steam line outboard isolation valve.  This valve was      |
| being tested in accordance with a quarterly periodic test to verify valve    |
| operability.  The steam leak has been secured by isolation of the inboard    |
| isolation valve.                                                             |

| "The Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System is a single-train system used to  |
| prevent overheating of the reactor fuel in the event of a reactor isolation  |
| accompanied by a loss of feedwater.  The High Pressure Coolant Injection     |
| System (approximately ten times the flow rate as the Reactor Core Isolation  |
| Cooling System) remains operable. Plant technical specification 3.5.3 allow  |
| continued operation for 14 days with the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling      |
| System inoperable.  The Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System is not         |
| considered an engineered safety feature at the Brunswick Plant.  It is,      |
| however, included in plant technical specifications.                         |
|                                                                              |

| The system is expected to be restored within 14 days.                        |

| resulted in the partial inoperability of zone 4 of the weld channel          |
| ventilation system.  The licensee entered 7-day Technical Specification LCO  |
| Action Statement 3.3.D.1.a as a result of this condition.  The valves were   |
| reopened at 1235, restoring the system to service.  The licensee is          |

| POTENTIAL TO DAMAGE HHSI PUMPS DURING A FIRE DUE TO HYDROGEN INTRUSION       |
|                                                                              |
| "On 3/5/99, at approximately 2002 hours a four-hour non-emergency Unit 2     |
| event notification in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2) was made to identify  |
| potential loss of High Head Safety Injection (HHSI)/Charging Water pump      |
| capability due to hydrogen intrusion into the pump's suction piping          |
| resulting from inadequate Pre-Fire Plan procedures to isolate the Unit       |
| Volume Control Tank (VCT) outlet valves.  Following this notification, an    |
| extent of condition review of this concern has been in progress on Unit 1.   |
|                                                                              |
| "This Unit 1 review has determined that the Unit 1 Pre-Fire Plan operating   |
| procedures for actions to respond to a postulated fire in Control Building   |
| fire areas CR-1, CR-4, and CS-1 and Primary Access Building fire area PA-1G  |
| do not adequately ensure isolation of the VCT outlet valves MOV-CH-115C or   |
| E.  Operating Manual 10M-56C.4.C directs opening Refueling Water Storage     |
| Tank (RWST) outlet valves MOV-CH-115B or D using the benchboard controls.    |
| However, this action may not be successful because the valve's control       |
| circuits may be affected due to the postulated fire.  10M-56C.4.E directs    |
| the Operator to deenergize and manually open MOV-CH-115B or D, but does not  |
| direct closing MOV-CH-115C or E.  The postulated fire may result in the loss |
| of Reactor Coolant System letdown makeup flow to the VCT.  Consequently,     |
| when MOV-CH-115B or D are opened to align the RWST to the HHSI/Charging      |
| pumps, intrusion of hydrogen from the VCT into the pump's suction piping may |
| occur, if the VCT outlet has not been isolated.  This may result in damage   |
| to and unavailability of the HHSI/Charging pumps.  10M-56.B.4.2 directs the  |
| Operator to align the RWST to the HHSI/Charging water suction header through |
| the Low Head Safety Injections.  10M-56B.4.2.B-4 directs the Operator to     |
| locally open MOV-CH-115B or D and close MOV-CH-115C or E if the fire does    |
| not prevent entry into the boron blender cubicle area.  This action is       |
| inadequate because it does not address the loss of MOV-CH-115C and E due to  |
| fire.  If these valves remain open due to fire damage of the valves or       |
| associated electrical cables and the Operator is unable to gain access to    |
| this area because of the fire, hydrogen from the VCT could be introduced     |
| into the HHSI/Charging pumps suction and damage to the operating pump could  |
| occur.                                                                       |
|                                                                              |
| "Preliminary calculation by the engineering department shows that limiting   |
| VCT tank pressure to a maximum of 36 psi will prevent hydrogen intrusion     |
| from the VCT as described in the events above.                               |
|                                                                              |
| "Operations will institute compensatory actions to limit VCT pressure.  In   |
| addition, a continuous fire watch is being implemented for the Primary       |
| Auxiliary Building 722-foot elevation.  In addition, Operations will         |
| restrict hot work permits in this area.  These interim compensatory actions  |
| will remain in place until long-term compensatory actions have been          |
| completed."                                                                  |
|                                                                              |
| The NRC Resident Inspector will be informed of this event by the licensee.   |

| STRUCTURES COULD BE DAMAGED DUE TO TORNADO LOADING                           |

| "The Perry design for tornado depressurization effects has been reviewed in  |
| response to OER PS 33978/Z05106. This review has confirmed that safety       |
| related structures are designed against failure using conservative           |
| assumptions that they are not vented, thus allowing full tornado             |
| depressurization across the building walls and slabs.                        |
|                                                                              |
| "Exterior doors to the plant are not designed to resist tornado              |
| depressurization loads, and thus are expected to fail in the event of the    |
| design basis tornado. This will expose building internals to some degree of  |
| depressurization. In most cases, safety related building interior walls are  |
| constructed from reinforced concrete and are inherently strong.              |
| Architectural walls have been used in the Central Complex and they have not  |
| been designed to consider these potential tornado depressurization loads."   |
