| Title | Manual Reactor Trip During Troubleshooting of Control Rod Drive Mechanism Motor Generators |
| Event Description | The following event description is based on information currently available. If through subsequent reviews of this event, additional information is identified that is pertinent to this event or alters the information being provided at this time, a follow-up notification will be made via the ENS or under the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.73.
On September 16, 2008 at approximately 1400 hours0.0162 days <br />0.389 hours <br />0.00231 weeks <br />5.327e-4 months <br /> Mountain Standard Time (MST) Palo Verde Nuclear Station Unit 3 experienced a manual reactor trip. At the time of the trip trouble shooting efforts were in progress to investigate abnormalities with the control element drive mechanism (CEDM) motor generators (MG). The MGs (2 - 100% each) normally operate in parallel to supply the necessary power to grip, move and hold the control element assemblies (CEA). During the trouble shooting activities the 'B' MG was removed from service. The 'A' MG initially provided power to the CEDMs but did not maintain the power. As a result of the pre-job briefing contingency actions, a manual reactor trip was ordered. All CEAs fully inserted into the core. No other emergency actuation signals were initiated and none were required. Off site power provided power to the class buses during and after the event. Decay heat removal is being provided by the steam bypass control system to the main condenser. No major equipment was inoperable prior to the event that contributed to the event. The unit is in Mode 3, Hot Standby, at normal temperature and pressure. The cause of the MG abnormality is under investigation. Normal feedwater remained in service providing water to the steam generators. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
