EN Revision Text: HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION INOPERABLE DUE TO LOW LEVEL INSTRUMENTATION

"At 0241 [EDT] on June 3, 2021, during performance of a High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) Condensate Storage Tank (CST) level functional surveillance, the HPCI torus suction inboard isolation valve was slow to open during swap of suction from the CST to the Torus. On June 9, 2021, it was determined that as a result of the June 3, 2021, slow swap condition, TS 3.3.5.1 Required Action D.1 to declare HPCI inoperable within 1 hour was applicable due to inoperable CST low level instrumentation channels. At 1817 [EDT] on June 3, 2021, HPCI suction was swapped to the torus, making TS Required Action D.1 no longer applicable. Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC) was available throughout this condition.

"At 0900 [EDT] on November 3, 2021, it was determined that an NRC event report due to HPCI inoperability should have been made. This event is being reported as a late 8-hour non-emergency notification pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) based on an unplanned HPCI inoperability.

"The cause of the slow valve opening was later determined to be corrosion products on contacts of a relay in the CST low level instrumentation logic. On June 4, 2021 at 1451 [EDT], the HPCI CST Level Functional Test was completed Satisfactorily, restoring HPCI Instrumentation to Operable.

"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

EN Revision Text: INCORRECT LOCAL LEAK RATE

"On 11/03/2021 Columbia Generating Station concluded the results for refueling outage 24 (R24) and 25 (R25) Local Leak Rate Testing as-found data was incorrect.

At 1231 PDT on November 3rd, 2021 Columbia Generating Station determined the local leak rate tests (LLRT) for the X- 25B containment penetration did not meet Technical Specification requirements for LLRT acceptance criteria. The incorrect LLRT data identified for residual heat removal (RHR) B Suppression Pool Spray containment isolation valve (RHR-V-27B) was from the previous two refueling outages (R24 on 5/22/2019 & R25 on 6/512021) at which time primary containment was not required to be operable. The corrected leakage assigned to the X-25 penetration also resulted in total Type B and C leakage summation exceeding the maximum allowable leakage rate for the primary containment (1.0 La) for R24 and exceeding 0.6La in R25.

The valve was flushed and retested satisfactory prior to entering the mode of applicability. This event is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A).

There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
