Title | Manual Reactor Trip Due to Loss of a Circulating Water Pump with Another Pump Out of Service for Maintenance |
Event Description | On 11/15/10 at 0603 [hrs. EST], the Unit 3 reactor was manually tripped after receiving a report that there was an overheating packing gland on the 3A2 Circulating Water Pump. The 3A1 Circulating Water Pump was already tagged out for maintenance. This required Unit 3 to be tripped due to only two Circulating Water Pumps in operation. The Unit 3 reactor was stabilized in Mode 3. Auxiliary Feedwater automatically actuated. A train of normal feedwater remains available to feed Steam Generators.
During the Unit 3 reactor trip, the 3B Steam Dump to Atmosphere failed to close on operator demand per procedure. It was locally isolated with a manual isolation valve stopping the cooldown. The RCS was stabilized at 487.56?F and was borated as required by procedure. All boration systems operated as designed. The RCS returned to normal operating temperature and pressure. During the trip, all rods inserted into the core. Other than the steam dump to atmosphere valve lifting, no other relief valves lifted. There is no known primary to secondary leakage. The electrical grid is normal and the plant is in a normal shutdown electrical line-up. Decay heat is being removed via the 3A and 3C steam dumps to atmosphere since the Main Steam Isolation Valves were closed. The plant is heating up to normal operating temperature at which time auxiliary feedwater will be secured. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
