Wolf Creek is in Mode 1, at 100% power. | | | | "During reviews associated with post fire safe shutdown reanalysis work, | | Wolf Creek personnel discovered that power and control cables for both CCP | | train minimum flow valves, both train CCP discharge valves to the RCP seals, | | and both train CCP suction valves from the Volume Control Tank (VCT) and | | Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) are routed in electrical raceways in the | | same fire area with intervening combustibles between the two redundant | | trains. This does not meet our commitments to 10CFR50 Appendix R.lll.G as | | reflected in our approved Fire Protection Plan. | | | | "Following a fire In the plant that requires a plant shutdown, the function | | of the CCP is to inject borated water into the reactor to maintain reactor | | water inventory, maintain shutdown reactivity margin, and to maintain a | | cooling water flow to the RCP seals to prevent damage to the seals. A fire | | in this fire area has the potential to cause the above-mentioned valves to | | not function properly and cause a loss of the capability to borate, maintain | | inventory, and to cool the RCP seals. | | | | "Based on the guidance provided in NUREG 1022, Revision 2, this situation | | meets the criterion of 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) for an 8-hour ENS | | notification, as it relates to being in an unanalyzed condition. | | | | "The licensee has previously implemented a 1-hour fire watch in this fire | | area." | | | | The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
