Title | Manual Scram at Duane Arnold Due to Hi Coolant Conductivity |
Event Description | Inserted a Manual Reactor Scram due to high reactor coolant conductivity. Source of high reactor coolant conductivity is not certain at this time.
In addition, this report is being made under 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), 'Any event or condition that results in valid actuation of any systems listed in paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B) of this section' due to PCIS groups 2, 3, and 4 being received when reactor water level dropped below 170". All isolations went to completion. The reactor water level drop is normal following a scram from 45% power due to void collapse in the reactor vessel. Reactor water level was restored to normal and the PCIS group isolations were reset. The current plan is to cool down the plant and enter Mode 4, plant cool down is being achieved using the RCIC system until the source of the conductivity transient is identified and isolated. The licensee indicated shortly prior to the scram a coolant chemistry transient was in progress. The limit for reactor coolant conductivity is 5 micro mhos per centimeter and the highest conductivity reading reached was 8 micro mhos per centimeter. The licensee speculates the most likely source of the high conductivity is related to an off service condensate demineralizer. There were no automatic ECCS initiations. No SRVs lifted. All control rods properly inserted. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
