INVALID SYSTEM ACTUATION DURING TESTING
"This 60-day telephone notification is being made in accordance with the reporting requirements specified by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) to describe an invalid actuation of several safety systems.
"On April 10, 2017 at 1347 hours [EDT] with Unit 3 in Mode 6 during performance of the Train B Engineered Safeguards Integrated Test, safety system actuations occurred prior to the expected point in the test procedure when a loss of continuity resulted while the seismic clips were being removed from a fuse. The actuations were supposed to occur at a subsequent step when the fuse was to be pulled to actuate the Hi Containment Pressure signal. As a result, the following equipment actuated: 3B, 4A and 4B High Head SI pumps; 3B Containment Spray pump; Containment Isolation and Containment Ventilation Isolations; 3A and 3B Emergency Diesel Generators; Emergency Containment Coolers. Because an actual high containment pressure signal did not exist at the time of the actuation, the actuation is considered invalid. All equipment responded as expected.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
