This resulted in an unanalyzed condition in that insufficient chemical additive flow might have resulted in lower than assumed containment spray pH values during past periods. "Based on the above, this is being reported in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). Actions are in progress to restore the 2A Containment Spray chemical additive flow to within tolerance. The 2B Containment Spray system is operable per Technical Specification 3.6.6 and is capable of providing required chemical additive flow. "The required flow is 18 to 67 gallons per minute (gpm), however, the measured flow was 17.96 gpm. "The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector." | |
