"At 1925 EDT on 08/18/2014 an equipment failure prevented a boundary door to the Shield Building Negative Pressure Area to latch closed upon egress, thereby preventing fulfillment of the Station Emergency Ventilation System safety function. Necessary door repairs per normal station practices were completed at 1935 EDT to establish full safety system function.
"This event was previously considered not reportable. Subsequent review determined the event reportable. The NRC Resident has been notified of the event. The failure to meet the 8-hour reporting requirement has been entered into the Corrective Action Program."
