LOSS OF RESPONSE CAPABILITY DUE TO MAINTENANCE RENDERING TSC NON-FUNCTIONAL
"The TSC Air Handling Unit will be taken OOS to repair one of the two compressors. In order to perform this corrective maintenance, the TSC HVAC will be removed from service for [approximately] 1 hour to disconnect the compressor to be repaired and in doing so will render the TSC HVAC inoperable which renders the TSC as non-functional. The TSC HVAC will be restarted to return the TSC to an operable and functional status. The work to repair or replace the compressor is planned to be completed within (1-3 days). After the work is completed, the system will be taken out of service again to reconnect the compressor ([approximately] 1 hr) and return the TSC HVAC to service."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
