"FPL Energy Seabrook Station has discovered that a condition existed that was prohibited by the Technical Specifications. The Train B Containment Building Spray Pump (CBS) was inoperable for a period of time longer than permitted by the Technical Specifications. A failed relay driver board would have prevented the Train B CBS pump from automatically starting in response to high containment pressure. Following an LOP coincident with a high containment pressure, the initial start signal from the Train B EDG emergency power sequencer would not have initiated a CBS pump start, but an automatic start signal generated at a later time in the LOP sequence would have started the pump. The failed relay driver board only inhibited automatic starting of the Train B CBS pump. The Train B EDG remained capable of providing power to other Train B loads including the automatic start of the CBS pump at the later sequence.
"This event is being reported in accordance with Seabrook Station Operating License condition 2.G as a failure to operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications."
The licensee discovered the condition during surveillance testing and the condition has been repaired.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |

This licensee reported that a flatbed truck transporting demolition debris (concrete/rebar/soil etc) from Haddam Neck was involved in a traffic accident in the State of Virginia (at mile marker 64 on Interstate 81). The material was low-level radioactive contaminated material that was shipped as DOT exempt and did not involve any reportable quantities. The shipper was RACE, LLC. The radioactive material was in an intermodal container on a flatbed truck. The truck overturned and damaged the intermodal spilling approximately a "pickup truck" full of debris. The Virginia State Hazmat team has responded to the scene of the accident. In addition, RACE has sent a team with a health physicist.
No one has been contaminated. RACE will be supplying a backup intermodal and truck to transfer and transport the debris.
The licensee has notified NRC Region 1 (Roberts). | |
