"The Emergency Fuel Oil Truck Connection Lines for both redundant Emergency Fuel Oil trains extend through the Plant South wall of the Diesel Generator Building structure where they may be exposed to design bases tornado missile impact. The direct impact by the design basis missile could result in damage to the fuel oil transfer lines, thereby preventing delivery of the fuel supply from the Emergency Fuel Oil buried storage tank to the Fuel Oil Day Tank. This condition affects the fuel supply to both supported Emergency Diesel Generator trains. "This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) for any event or condition that results in the nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety, and per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) for any event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to (A) Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, (B) Remove residual heat, or (D) Mitigate the consequences of an accident. "These conditions are being addressed in accordance with EGM 15-002 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 [enforcement discretion and interim guidance documents]. "The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified." * * * RETRACTION ON 4/18/17 AT 1547 EDT FROM BRANDON LONG TO DONG PARK * * * "Event Notification EN # 52607, made on 03/13/2017, is being retracted because new information has been obtained that negates the originally reported condition. Specifically, subsequent to the Event Notification, an engineering analysis was performed which confirmed that a design basis missile strike on either of the unprotected truck connection lines would not result in damage to the extent that the affected fuel oil transfer lines would be prevented from delivering the fuel supply from the Emergency Fuel Oil buried storage tank to the Fuel Oil Day Tank. (The analysis showed that although bending / deformation of the lines would occur in response to the postulated missile strike, integrity of the lines would remain.) "Based on the above, the unanalyzed condition did not prevent the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, remove residual heat, or mitigate the consequences of an accident, nor did it significantly degrade plant safety. Consequently, the condition does not meet the criteria for 8-hour notification that are provided in 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) or 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(A), (B), or (D). "As the condition does not require enforcement discretion, the provisions of EGM 15-002 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 [enforcement discretion and interim guidance documents] need not be invoked. However, the immediate and long-term compensatory actions that have been taken following discovery of the condition will remain in place until the condition is fully resolved. "The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed of this Event Notification retraction." Notified R4DO (Azua). | !!!!! THIS EVENT HAS BEEN RETRACTED.

[The individual] was not in the exposure vault during any exposure but his badge will reflect an exposure. His badge has been sent for processing this afternoon. [The individual] was working with another radiographer and their exposure amounts for this day should be comparable as to estimating his true daily exposure amount." * * * RETRACTION ON 4/17/17 AT 1700 EDT FROM AMANDA DILL TO DONG PARK * * * The event was initially reported by the licensee out of caution.
