EN Revision Text: UNIT 1 HPCI INOPERABLE

"At 1847 CST on December 1, 2021, it was discovered that the HPCI [high pressure coolant injection] system was inoperable. Due to this inoperability, the system was in a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function; therefore, this condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The Unit 1 RCIC [reactor core isolation cooling] system was Operable during this time period. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.

PART 21 - 15V AND 48 V POWER SUPPLY DEFECT

"This is a non-emergency notification required by 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(i). A written notification in accordance with 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(ii) will be provided in 30 days.

"On November 10, 2021, Callaway Plant received written notification from Paragon Energy Solutions, LLC, pursuant to 10 CFR 21.21(b), which identified a deviation associated with the DC/DC converter in two power supplies, NLI-STM15-15M20 (15 VDC) and NLI-STM48-14M20 (48 VDC) that had been sent to Paragon for evaluation and failure analysis following failures of individual components within the power supplies at Callaway Plant. The notification identified the following failed components:

"For the NLI-STM15-15M20 [15 VDC] power supply, the failed components were the Vicor Module, P/N: V150A28C500BL, and the DC/DC Converter, Murata P/N: NKE1212SC, Date code: G1511

"For the NLI-STM48-14M20 [48 VDC] power supply, the failed component was the DC/DC Converter, Murata P/N: NKE1212SC, Date code: G1511

"Fourteen of these power supplies (in total) are used in three Balance of Plant Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (BOP-ESFAS) cabinets and two Load Shed and Emergency Load Sequencer (LSELS) cabinets.

"Based upon the 10 CFR 21.21(b) transfer from Paragon Energy Solutions, Callaway Plant has determined that a Substantial Safety Hazard could be created by the failure of the power supplies. The responsible officer was notified on December 1, 2021.

"The NRC Resident Inspector at Callaway Plant has been notified."
