| Title | Manual Reactor Scram After Loss of Generator Seal Oil |
| Event Description | At 1045 hours0.0121 days <br />0.29 hours <br />0.00173 weeks <br />3.976225e-4 months <br />, a manual scram was inserted due to a loss of main generator seal oil pressure and subsequent loss of hydrogen pressure in the Main Generator. Initial investigation revealed that a filter in the seal oil system became clogged during a system test. Even though the test was stopped and the system lineup restored, seal oil system pressure did not return to normal until the main turbine generator was secured. No indications of turbine or generator damage exist.
All rods fully inserted, MSIVs remained open, no SRVs opened, and all other safety systems operated as designed. Reactor Water Level was restored and maintained with the Reactor Feedwater and Condensate systems during the post scram transient within normal operating bands. Reactor Pressure was controlled using the Main Turbine Bypass Valves in automatic control. Normal cool down to the Main Condenser is in progress. Offsite power is available. EDG-2 was inoperable but available due to surveillance testing, restoration is in progress. All other EDGs are operable and in standby status. This shutdown occurred 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> before a planned shutdown for the refueling outage, so the plant will not be restarted until after the outage. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
