Section 5.4: CCDP for Automatic Start of the HPSI System
Maintenance was performed on the automatic actuation system and it was discovered that there was a miscalibration error that would have prevented a start signal from being automatically sent to start the HPSI pumps. This means that if a LLOCA event had occurred, the only way to send a start signal to the HPSI pumps would have been an operator action.
Determine and document the CDF from LLOCA with the event modeling the signal failed (set to 1.0).
It has been 6 months since the last time we know the start signal was calibrated and tested successfully. Calculate the amount of time it takes to accumulate 1E-06 LLOCA CCDP. Document the calculation.
The plant is in violation of NRC regulations if the time the plant was in this configuration exceeds the amount of time it takes to accumulate 1E-06 LLOCA CCDP. Determine and document if the plant is in violation.
