Title | Automatic Reactor Trip Due to Lo-Lo Steam Generator Level |
Event Description | On March 30, 2004, while at power, VCSNS [V.C. Summer Nuclear Station] personnel were performing a reactor building inspection to identify the source of reactor coolant system unidentified leakage that was within Technical Specification (TS) limits.
At 1129 hours0.0131 days <br />0.314 hours <br />0.00187 weeks <br />4.295845e-4 months <br />, a pressure boundary leak was identified at the seal injection line to reactor coolant pump 'C'. Pursuant to TS 3.4.6.2, Action a., VCSNS commenced a controlled reactor shutdown at 1410 on March 30, 2004. During the shutdown, the main turbine experienced higher than normal vibration. At 1516, the turbine was manually tripped at approximately 43% reactor power. Subsequent to the turbine trip, feedwater regulating valve IFV-498 failed in the closed position while in automatic with a full open demand signal. The cause of this failure is not known. The reactor automatically tripped at 1520 due to lo-lo level in the 'C' steam generator at 10% reactor power. All control rods fully inserted and all safety systems responded normally. Both motor driven emergency feedwater pumps started as required. The plant stabilized in mode 3. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
