Watts Bar Unit 2 MSPI Effectiveness DateEvent or circumstances requiring guidance interpretation:During March 2017, during the first operating cycle Watts Bar U2, the Condenser failed and required extensive repair to return to service. The reactor was shut down while the work on the secondary side was performed. This resulted in a loss of 3100 critical hours. The cause of the failure was inadequate vendor design (1970’s) of the condenser wall support structure leading to support and wall failure. In addition, a 35-day refueling outage is planned for fourth Quarter of 2017 with an additional loss of 840 critical hours.The cause was the QA peoples not adequately scoping out the main condenser for quality and a design sufficient for it’s duty. It ridiculous solely depending on a components 1970s design especially with the magnitude of TVA or problems during the 1970s and 1980s. They are shifting blame on 1970s guys from the Unit 2’s employees who prepared the site in around the 2015.Think I am going to talk to the project manager…
