"During review of instrumentation calibration, it was determined that a faulty flow instrument was used for determination of CREFS (Control Room Emergency Filtration System) flow. Due to the error of the flow instrumentation previous test results were deemed to be high outside acceptance criteria. These tests were performed in October of 2005. The CREFS was declared inoperable and preparation was made to rerun the surveillance. At 1900 the surveillance was completed. The results of the surveillance determined that CREFS flow was below the allowable limit. The minimum flow for CREFS is a requirement for post DBA dose calculation for Control Room personnel. With minimum flow not maintained, the Control Room post accident dose calculations may be violated.
"CREFS remains inoperable pending adjustments of ventilation dampers and successful performance of surveillance testing.
"Resident inspector has been notified."
The licensee has entered Technical Specification LCO 3.7.4, Condition A, which is a 7 day LCO. |
