DEGRADATION OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER
The following information was provided by the licensee:
"At 2115 CST on March 5, 2022 Byron Station Technical Support Center (TSC) emergency ventilation system supply fan belt failed. This failure affected the ability of the TSC ventilation system to maintain adequate radiological habitability in the event of an emergency with an airborne radiological release. All other capabilities of the TSC are unaffected by this condition. If an emergency was declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC would be staffed and activated using existing emergency planning procedures. If the TSC becomes uninhabitable, the Station Emergency Director would relocate the TSC staff to an alternate TSC location in accordance with applicable procedures.
"This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) because the discovered condition affected the functionality of an emergency response facility.
"The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector."
