Event Text

UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE GREATER THAN TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS "At 0902 EDT, on September 3, 2016, a leak developed from 13 Charging Pump seals that resulted in an unidentified leak rate of 1.3 gpm. Salem Unit 1 entered Technical Specification 3.4.6.2.b for unidentified leakage greater than 1 gpm. The Technical Specification requires the leak rate to be restored to below 1 gpm in a 4 hour period or place the Unit in Hot Standby in the next 6 hours and Cold Shutdown within the following 30 hours. In addition there is an allowable total ECCS leakage outside of Containment value of 0.45 gpm associated with Control Room habitability to comply with GDC-19 [General Design Criteria] limits. 12 Charging Pump was placed in service and 13 Charging Pump was removed from service and isolated. The unidentified leak rate lowered to below the 0.45gpm requirement for the total ECCS leakage outside of containment and the Technical Specification value of 1 gpm. "This event is being reported under the requirements of 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as 'the nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety' for exceeding the 0.45gpm total ECCS leakage allowable in accordance with GDC-19 limitations. "The Licensee has notified the NRC Resident and the Lower Alloways Creek Township."
