Title	Invalid Actuation of Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump
Event Description	This telephone notification is being made in lieu of submitting a written LER for an invalid actuation of the 1A Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (MDAFW) pump under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A). On August 6, 2011 at 1055 CDT, during the performance of surveillance testing on the 1A Containment Spray (CS) pump, an unexpected automatic start of the 1A MDAFW pump occurred. While installing jumpers in the B1F sequencer to cause an automatic start for the 1A CS pump per the test procedure, the jumpers were inadvertently connected to the wrong relay which started the 1A MDAFW pump instead. This automatic start was considered invalid since the start signal was not initiated in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the safety function of the system. The 1A MDAFW pump was restored to a normal standby alignment at 1131 CDT. The following required information is being submitted per NUREG-1022, Rev. 2. (a) The 1A MDAFW pump is an 'A' train component. (b) The 1A MDAFW pump automatic start is considered a complete train actuation. (c) Once the 1A MDAFW pump inadvertently started, the system functioned per design. The licensee has informed the NRC Resident Inspector.
