CONCURRENT LOSS OF HIGH PRESSURE REACTOR MAKEUP SYSTEMS CAPABILITY
"On 1/23/2013 at 1516 [EST], Nine Mile Point 2 (NMP2) had a failure of a Reactor Building General Area temperature trip unit occur resulting in the closure of an isolation valve on the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) system steam supply line. Concurrent with this failure, the High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) system was inoperable for planned surveillance testing. With both the RCIC and HPCS systems inoperable, NMP2 entered a Technical Specification Required Action to be in Mode 3 within 12 hours. At 1550, the HPCS system was restored to OPERABLE. Based on the concurrent loss of the high pressure reactor makeup capability of these two systems, it was determined that the condition is reportable under section 50.72(b)(3)(v) as the following safety functions were impacted: (A) Shutdown the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; and (D) Mitigate the consequences of an accident.
"NMP2 remains in a stable condition at rated power. The offsite grid is stable with no restrictions or warnings in effect."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
