Title | Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps May Experience Runout at Low Steam Pressures |
Event Description | At 1140 CST, both of the stations safety related auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pumps were declared inoperable. The AFW pumps were declared inoperable due to an evaluation that determined that the pumps may experience runout at low steam generator pressures during some design basis events. The stations Technical Specifications require that: 'With both AFW trains inoperable, then initiate actions to restore one AFW train to OPERABLE status immediately.' Technical Specification (TS) 2.0.1 and all TS actions requiring MODE change are suspended until one AFW train is restored to OPERABLE status.
The station is aggressively working to develop a solution to return at least one train of the AFW system to operability. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
At 2133 CST, Steam Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump, FW-10, was declared operable based on an engineering evaluation that determined FW-10 will perform as required under all design basis conditions. Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump, FW-6, remains inoperable. [The licensee] exited Technical Specification 2.0.1 and 2.5(1)D, and entered TS 2.5(1)B, 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> LCO, effective as of 1140 CST. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Lantz).
At 0238 CST, Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump, FW-6, was declared operable per an Engineering Operability Evaluation. [The licensee] exited Technical Specification 2.5(1)B. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Lantz).
Further review has determined that the auxiliary feedwater pumps are and have been fully capable of performing their required safety function. Therefore, this notification is being retracted. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO(Lantz) |
