BOTH TRAINS OF CONTAINMENT SPRAY REMOVED FROM SERVICE
"On November 30, 2019, at 1100 PST, with Unit 2 in Mode 4, Operations identified that both trains of containment spray had been removed from service earlier at approximately 0217 hours as part of preparations for a planned Mode 5 entry. The containment spray pumps are required to be operable (along with the containment fan cooler units) in Modes 1 through 4 in accordance with Technical Specification 3.6.6. With both containment spray pumps inoperable, TS 3.6.6 Action F requires the Unit to be shut down in accordance with TS 3.0.3. At 1125 hours, both trains of containment spray were returned to operable and the required actions of TS 3.6.6 and TS 3.0.3 were exited.
"The five containment fan cooler units remained operable for the duration of the occurrence.
"This notification is being made in accordance with the requirement of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) as an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function, and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) as an event or condition that may have resulted in the plant being in an unanalyzed condition.
"The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified."
