Title | Automatic Reactor Trip Caused by Safety Injection Signal |
Event Description | At 2209 on 3/16/07, the plant tripped on a Safety Injection (SI) signal initiated because of low main steam line pressure in the 'A' main steam loop. The licensee is currently conducting a post trip review but believes that the low main steam line pressure in 'A' loop was caused by a spurious isolation of the 'B' Main Steam Line Isolation Valve (MSIV). The isolation in the 'B' main steam loop lead to high main steam flow and low main steam line pressure in the 'A' main steam loop. The 'A' MSIV then also auto-closed on the SI signal.
The plant is currently stable in Mode 3 at about 2235 psig pressure and 547 degrees average Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature. All control rods fully inserted on the trip. Decay heat is currently being removed by auxiliary feedwater feeding the steam generators and steaming out the plant atmospheric steam valves. Since plant pressure did not decrease below 1500 psig, SI did not actually inject into the RCS. The licensee secured SI. No primary PORV's or safety valves lifted. No main steam safeties lifted according to plant closure indicators. There are no primary to secondary steam generator tube leaks. All electrical safeguards buses are powered by offsite power. The Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) started but did not load and were shut down. The EDGs are operable and available if needed. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
