Title | Automatic Reactor Trip Due to Momentary Loss of 4 Kv Buses and Safety System Actuation |
Event Description | At 1800 hours0.0208 days <br />0.5 hours <br />0.00298 weeks <br />6.849e-4 months <br /> EST on 11/05/2013, with the unit in Mode 1 at 19% power, an automatic reactor trip occurred. Operators were transferring loads from the Startup Transformer to the Unit Auxiliary Transformer in accordance with normal operating procedures. When breaker 52/7, Unit Aux to 4KV Bus 1 Breaker, was taken to the close position, indication on the Reactor Turbine Generator Board (RTGB) went from 'Open' to 'No' indication. Breaker 52/12, Incoming Line Startup Transformer No. 2, cycled open and then re-closed. This resulted in a momentary loss of power to 4KV Bus 2 and 4KV Bus 1. The reactor trip signal was based on a loss of 4KV bus voltage to 2 of the 3 required 4KV buses. The cause of the loss of 480V bus E-1 was a result of loss of power to 4KV Bus 2. As a result of the loss of 480V bus E-1, the 'A' Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) auto started. The required loads sequenced onto the 'A' EDG with the exception of the 'A' Service Water (SW) pump. The cause of the failure of the 'A' SW pump is under investigation.
The one running Main Feedwater Pump ('A' Pump) tripped on the resulting under voltage of 4 kV Bus 1. By design, this condition resulted in an automatic start of Auxiliary Feedwater due to both Main Feed pump breakers being opened. Both 'A' and 'B' Motor-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Pumps started as designed. Steam generator water levels were maintained in the normal operating band. Currently, the unit is stable in Hot Standby (Mode 3). This event is being reported as a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Non-Emergency per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) due to the valid Reactor Protection System Actuation This event is being reported as an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Non-Emergency per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) due to the valid actuation of AFW and EDG auto-start and subsequent starting of required under voltage loads. At no time during this occurrence was the public or plant staff at risk as a result of this event. The [NRC ] Resident Inspector has been notified. The reactor trip was uncomplicated and the is plant is stable in mode 3 with decay heat being released to the main condenser. Normal offsite power is available with the exception of the 480V bus E-1 being supplied by the "A" Emergency Diesel Generator. |
