Event Notification Report for November 02, 2014

OPERATIONS SUPPORT CENTER VENTILATION SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE

"On November 2, 2014 EST, the bus providing power to the Health Physics emergency HVAC system for climate control tripped unexpectedly and has been out of service for greater than 30 minutes. The Health Physics emergency HVAC system for climate control is required for functionality of the Operations Support Center (OSC), which is a required emergency response facility (ERF). Actions to determine the cause of loss of 1R24-S030 Load Center and to return ERF to functional status are in progress with high priority. In the interim, the backup OSC remains fully functional and capable of providing the required support as defined in the Hatch Emergency Plan and emergency implementing procedures.

"This notification is being made in accordance with the plant's Technical Requirements Manual Specifications to make the notification within 8 hours in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(xiii) due to the unplanned loss of an emergency response facility. An update will be provided once the OSC has been restored to normal operation."

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

* * * UPDATE FROM JOHN MITCHELL TO HOWIE CROUCH AT 2126 EST ON 11/2/14 * * *

Power was restored to the 1R24-S030 Load Center at 1955 EST. At 2038 EST, power to the Health Physics emergency HVAC system was restored. The OSC was returned to service at 2120 EST.

The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Blamey).

* * * RETRACTION FROM KENNY HUNTER TO DANIEL MILLS AT 1641 EST on 12/31/14 * * *

"In accordance with NUREG 1022, Revision 3, Supplement 1, the NRC endorsed NEI 13-01, 'Reportable Action Levels for Loss of Emergency Preparedness Capabilities,' such that 'if a licensee has a 'backup ERF' that is capable of performing the functions of the primary facility, the licensee's emergency assessment capability is not significantly impaired if the primary facility is not available.' Based on this information this condition is not reportable.

"Although NUREG 1022, Rev. 3, Supplement 1 did not require an event notification report to be made, an initial notification was generated based on requirements within licensee control documents. These documents have been updated to reflect the guidance provided in the supplement to NUREG 1022. This report is therefore being retracted in accordance with NUREG 1022, Rev. 3, Supplement 1 since a backup ERF remained fully functional and capable of providing the required support during the event.

"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector."

Notified R2DO (Hopper).

OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO WORKER INJURY

"On Sunday, November 2, 2014 at 1245 PST, a process operator driving a motorized transport cart sans any load was making a turn and lost his balance and put his foot on the floor. The cart caught his ankle under the standing platform for the driver. The process operator broke his ankle as a result.

"The process operator was surveyed by Health and Safety Technicians, found to be free of any radioactive contamination. The process operator was then transported to the local hospital by ambulance.

"This industrial accident is reportable to the Washington State labor and Industries and the OSHA toll free hotline was also called."

"The NRC is being informed of this event under the requirements of 10CFR70 Appendix A criterion (C).
'Any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or onsite personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a new release is planned or notification of other government agencies has been or will be made, shall be reported to the NRC Operations Center concurrent to the news release or other notification.'"

The NRC Regional Office was notified by the licensee.
