Title | Manual Reactor Scram Due to High Turbine Vibration |
Event Description | At 0551 hours0.00638 days <br />0.153 hours <br />9.11045e-4 weeks <br />2.096555e-4 months <br /> EST, on November 17, 2008, the H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2, reactor was manually tripped from approximately 78% power due to high vibrations detected on the main turbine. The reactor trip was initiated in accordance with Abnormal Operating Procedure, AOP-006, "Turbine Eccentricity / Vibration." At approximately 0230 hours0.00266 days <br />0.0639 hours <br />3.80291e-4 weeks <br />8.7515e-5 months <br /> EST, it was noticed that turbine vibration on the No. 9 bearing was at approximately 10.9 mils and increasing. At 0516 hours0.00597 days <br />0.143 hours <br />8.531746e-4 weeks <br />1.96338e-4 months <br /> EST, the No. 9 bearing was at about 13.5 mils and still increasing. A power reduction from 100% power was commenced in accordance with Operating Procedure, OP-105, "Maneuvering the Plant when Greater than 25% Power." At approximately 0551 hours0.00638 days <br />0.153 hours <br />9.11045e-4 weeks <br />2.096555e-4 months <br /> EST, with power level at approximately 78%, the No. 9 bearing vibrations reached the trip criterion of 14 mils and the reactor was tripped in accordance with AOP-006.
Path-1, which is the flow chart based on the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guideline E-0 for reactor trip response, and Procedures EPP-4, "Reactor Trip Response," and GP-004, "Post Trip Stabilization," were used after initiation of the reactor trip. The auxiliary feedwater system started automatically, as expected, in response to steam generator level changes after the reactor trip. It was also noted that the "B" Main Feedwater Pump had tripped. The cause of the main feedwater pump trip has not been determined and is under investigation. The primary system and steam generator power operated relief valves and safety valves did not actuate during this event. The main feedwater system, main steam system, and condenser remained available during the event and are currently being used for decay heat removal. The normal post-trip electrical configuration is providing power to the required buses and the offsite electrical system is stable at this time. The emergency diesel generators are operable. The unit is currently stable in MODE 3. An estimated restart date has not yet been established. This report is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) for reactor protection system actuation and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for automatic actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
