"During review of a High Energy Line Break (HELB) analysis a condition was discovered where a break in the auxiliary steam system could result in a loss of all the containment fans and coolers, which are required to be maintained operable due to procedural restrictions to mitigate a design basis accident.
"The plant entered Technical Specification (T.S.) 2.0.1 at 1245 CDT. This specification requires a plant shutdown within 6 hours. Operations personnel isolated auxiliary steam to the affected areas of the Auxiliary Building at 1305 CDT. With auxiliary steam isolated to the Auxiliary Building, containment fans and associated coolers were restored to an operable status. Plant exited T.S. 2.0.1 at 1305 CDT."
