UNANALYZED CONDITION FOR BOTH EDG TRANSFER LINE CONNECTIONS

"Both Emergency Diesel Generators [EDGs] have truck connections connected to transfer lines that are potentially not compliant with general design criteria. A potentially unanalyzed condition exists due to threat of tornado generated missiles.

"While in Mode 1 at 100% power, the Control Room was notified that the outdoor portion of the line upstream of JEV0001, EMERG FUEL OIL STORAGE TK A TRUCK CONN ISO, and the outdoor portion of the line upstream of JEV0002, EMERG FUEL OIL STORAGE TK B TRUCK CONN ISO, potentially have not been reviewed to meet general design criteria.

"No major equipment was out of service. No systems were required to respond to this event. The unit remains in Mode 1 at 100% power.

"The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified.

"Compensatory measures have been established IAW [in accordance with] EGM 15-002."

The Unit entered Tech Spec 3.8.1 Condition B and D for approximately 45 minutes until compensatory measures were put into effect. The licensee identified this condition during a design review and is currently identifying long-term corrective actions.

* * * UPDATE ON 4/6/17 AT 0938 EDT FROM DAVID GHOLSON TO DONG PARK * * *

The Unit entered Tech Spec 3.8.1 Condition B and F, not Tech Spec 3.8.1 Condition B and D mentioned earlier.

TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONTROL ROOM ENVELOPE BOUNDARY

"At 1620 EDT on April 6, 2017, a Main Control Room (MCR) door was found ajar. At that time, both control room ventilation filtrations trains (CREVS) were declared inoperable in accordance with Technical Specification 3.7.10, condition B, due to the inoperability of the Control Room Envelope (CRE). At 1623 EDT, the door was closed, CREVS was declared operable and LCO 3.7.10, Condition B was exited.

"The safety function of the CRE boundary is to ensure the in-leakage of unfiltered air into the CRE will not exceed the in-leakage assumed in the licensing basis analysis of Design Basis Accident (DBA) consequences to CRE occupants. Additionally, it ensures that the occupants are protected from hazardous chemicals and smoke.

"This event is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D).

"NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
