Title | Automatic Reactor Scram on Loss of Feedwater |
Event Description | The Perry Power Plant experienced a reactor scram during a shift of non-essential vital power supply to the alternate source. Feedwater was lost resulting in receiving a valid level 3 and level 2 signal. High Pressure Core Spray and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling started and injected. Reactor level and pressure have been stabilized to required bands. The motor feed pump has been started and is controlling level. High Pressure Core Spray and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling have been returned to standby.
During the scram, all rods fully inserted into the core. Decay heat is being removed via the steam dumps to the condenser. The electrical grid is stable and supplying plant loads. An emergency diesel generator started, as designed, as a result of the level 2 signal but did not load. No safety valves lifted as a result of the transient. The cause of the loss of feedwater is under investigation. The licensee will be notifying the State of Ohio and Perry Township and has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
The plant is currently in Mode 3, stable with cooldown and depressurization to Mode 4 in progress. Level control is being provided by the motor feedwater pump. Troubleshooting of the cause of the scram and loss of feed water is on-going. The initial notification identified 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), 'Specified System Actuation', as a reporting criteria. The specific system that actuated was not provided. As a result of receiving a reactor vessel water level 2 signal a containment/BOP isolation signal was received. All systems isolated as required and the plant is restoring isolated systems in accordance with procedure. The licensee will be notifying the State of Ohio and Perry Township and has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R3DO (Pelke). |
