Title | Minimum Recirculation Valves Will Not Automatically Open in Local Operating Mode |
Event Description | While performing a test start of P-38A Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump utilizing the local control station, it was discovered that AF-4007, the mini-recirculation valve for P-38A would not automatically open in the local mode of operation. The mini-recirculation valve provides a minimum flow path for pump operation to prevent pump damage. After this condition was discovered, a review of procedures associated with initiating safe shutdown via local operation disclosed that the procedure did not address manually opening the mini-recirculation valve prior to local pump start. As a result, pump damage could occur due to no flow though the pump prior to aligning a flow path into a steam generator. This condition is also applicable to AF-4014, the mini-recirculation valve for P-38B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump.
P-38A and P-38B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pumps would only be used in a safe shutdown local control condition if steam generator level could not be maintained using the normal means of 1P-29 and 2P-29 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps. The station has taken compensatory actions to brief the operators about the condition. Additionally, temporary procedure changes are in progress to direct the operator to manually open each Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump's associated mini-recirculation valve prior to a local start of the P-38A or P-38B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump. The associated mini-recirculation valve will operate when P-38A or P-38B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump is started from the control room. Follow up testing has verified P-38A Auxiliary Feedwater Pump operability. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
