| Title | Reactor Trip Following a Generator Lockout During Automatic Voltage Regulator Testing |
| Event Description | On 4/27/2010 at 1637 hours0.0189 days <br />0.455 hours <br />0.00271 weeks <br />6.228785e-4 months <br />, during recovery from a refueling outage when the main turbines and exciter were replaced, Unit 2 experienced a generator lockout which caused a turbine trip. The turbine trip resulted in a reactor trip when the reactor was at 74% power. The generator lockout occurred while automatic voltage regulator testing was being performed. This event is reportable per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) due to actuation of the Reactor Protection System.
The Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps (AFW) received an automatic start signal due to low/low level in the steam generators following the reactor trip. Steam Generator inventory was restored to normal operating level. The Steam Driven AFW pump experienced an issue with the lube oil system which resulted in some of the oil leaking onto the floor. An investigation into the oil leakage issue will be performed. The Steam Driven AFW pump was declared inoperable until this investigation is complete. The two motor driven AFW pumps automatically started and operated as designed. This event is reportable per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) due to actuation of an ESF system. All control rods inserted into the core following the reactor trip and decay heat is being removed using the normal steam dump system. Several secondary (feedwater) relief valves lifted and resealed during the event. Unit 2 is stable in Mode 3 at normal operating temperature and pressure. Unit 2 is in a normal shutdown electrical lineup and there was no impact on Unit 1. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified by the licensee. |
