Event Text

LOW PRESSURE CORE SPRAY INOPERABLE

"At 0730 [EDT] on May 24, 2019, it was discovered that the Low-Pressure Core Spray System was inoperable. At Perry, the Low-Pressure Core Spray system is considered a single train system in Modes 1, 2, and 3; therefore, this condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v). Inoperability of the Low-Pressure Core Spray system was caused by Emergency Service Water Pump A inoperability.

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