"At 2119 [CST] on 11/12/2017 a Control Room board walk down discovered that both of the Unit 2 Containment Spray Pump control switches were in pull-out. With the control switches in pull-out, the pumps would not automatically start as required. Unplanned TS [Technical Specifications] 3.0.3 was entered at 2119 as a result of not complying with TS 3.6.5, Containment Spray and Cooling Systems, which requires both trains of Containment Spray to be Operable while in Mode 4. Unit 2 had entered Mode 4 at 0303 on 11/12/2017. TS 3.0.3 was exited at 2127 on 11/12/2017 when both Containment Spray Pump control switches were placed in Automatic restoring Operability. Preliminary investigation determined that while Unit 2 was in Mode 5, Surveillance SP 2099, Main Steam Isolation Valve Logic Test, had taken the Containment Spray Pump control switches to pull-out but did not re-align the control switches to automatic after the test was complete. This 8-hour Non-Emergency report is being made per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), Accident Mitigation. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been informed." |
