The doors were immediately closed and secondary containment pressure remained negative. "This condition represents a failure to meet surveillance requirement 3.6.4.1.2 given two doors in a single access opening were open simultaneously. As a result entry into Technical Specification 3.6.4.1, Condition A, was made momentarily due to secondary containment being inoperable. "This event is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C) as an event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function. "The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. "The door has been posted to notify to restrict access. "The State of Illinois Emergency Management has been notified."

This manual isolation also resulted in an isolation signal to containment atmosphere control (CAC) system valves and primary containment instrument gas (PCIG) system valves. System responses were as expected. "Unit 2 secondary containment delta-p and room temperatures were restored via the standby gas treatment system (SGTS), and Unit 2 secondary containment integrity remains intact and operable. "Investigation of the trip of Unit 2 reactor enclosure HVAC is ongoing. "This is being reported under 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for containment isolation signal affecting containment isolation valves in more than one system." The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector.
