| Title | Manual Actuation of Reactor Protection System Due to Failure of Control Rod to Withdraw |
| Event Description | Following a startup from a refueling outage with the plant at approximately 24% power, it was determined that one control rod appeared to be fully inserted in the core as determined by both incore and excore flux tilts. The Off Normal Procedure for a dropped control rod was entered. The decision was made to take the plant offline to troubleshoot and correct the apparent condition. The Off Normal Procedure does not allow operation in Mode 2 with a dropped control rod. At 1514 hours0.0175 days <br />0.421 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.76077e-4 months <br /> EDT the reactor was manually tripped from 8% power. The reactor trip was uncomplicated.
This is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) as a manual Reactor Protection System actuation while critical. Decay heat is being discharged to the condenser via the turbine bypass valves and cooling is being supplied from AFW. All systems besides the control rod in question functioned as required. It appears that the control rod in question may have been inserted since startup. The rod position indicators were showing a normal rod position. The licensee believes that the rod may not be coupled. This rod has had a previous history of being difficult to couple. The licensee stated that normal rod testing was conducted prior to startup along with low power physics testing which did not indicate anything significantly out of spec. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
