PLANNED TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER MAINTENANCE AFFECTING THE AIR HANDLING SYSTEM
"Planned maintenance activities will commence today (December 30, 2014) on the Quad Cities Station TSC. The activity involves maintenance on the TSC Air Handling Unit (AHU). Work on the AHU affects the TSC habitability during a declared emergency requiring activation since the AHU supports habitability. The duration of maintenance is currently unknown, and is dependent on the conditions discovered during maintenance. Restoration from maintenance is expected to take longer than the required activation time of the TSC.
"If an emergency is declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC will be staffed and activated using existing emergency planning procedures unless the TSC becomes uninhabitable due to ambient temperature, radiological, or other conditions. If relocation of the TSC becomes necessary, the Station Emergency Director will relocate the TSC staff to an alternate location in accordance with applicable site procedures. This event is reportable per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii) since the maintenance activity affects an emergency response facility.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The licensee will be notifying the onsite Illinois Emergency Management Agency representative.
* * * UPDATE FROM CHAD BRITTON TO DANIEL MILLS AT 1527 EST ON 12/30/2014 * * *
"At 1230 CST on December 30, 2014, the maintenance activity was completed and the TSC ventilation was restored.
"The NRC Resident Inspector was notified."
