BOTH CHANNELS OF OFFGAS RADIATION MONITORS DECLARED INOPERABLE
Both channels of offgas radiation monitors declared inoperable due to a common mode failure. Both channels detect offgas radiation levels in the same sample volume. The sample volume filled with condensate suppressing the radiation levels. The offgas radiation monitors provide for isolation of the main condensers on indications of fuel element failure. This puts the licensee in a 72 hour clock allowing for repairs or shutdown, per Technical Specification Table 3.1.1 Instrument Operability.
The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * RETRACTED AT 1412 EDT ON 7/8/02 BY STEVE FULLER TO FANGIE JONES * * *
The licensee is retracting the event notification after reviewing the event and determining that the monitors do not perform a safety function that is relied on in the safety analysis of the plant. Also, the monitors do not affect the plant or its safety barriers.
The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector. The R1DO (Brian McDermott)
