Title | Reactor Scram Due to a Reactor Recirculation Pump Lockout |
Event Description | At 1040 CST, with the plant at 100% power, a lockout of the 11 recirculation pump occurred. Following the 11 recirculation pump lockout, at 1041 CST, a reactor scram and a Group 1 isolation occurred. All Main Steam Isolation Valves closed as a result of the Group 1 isolation signal. HPCI [High Pressure Core Injection] has been placed in service to control RPV [Reactor Pressure Vessel] pressure. HPCI did not inject into the RPV and was not needed to control RPV level.
At 1104 CST, a Group 2 containment isolation signal was received due to RPV level less than +9 inches. The Group 2 isolation signal has been reset. The cause(s) of the 11 recirculation pump lockout, the reactor scram, and the Group 1 isolation are currently not known and are under investigation. This event is being reported under 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) due to the actuation of the Reactor Protection System when the reactor is critical. For the following reasons, this event is also being reported under 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A): 1) This event resulted in a valid Group 2 containment isolation signal, 2) Since the cause of the Reactor Protection System actuation is not known, the event is being reported as a valid actuation of the Reactor Protection System, and 3) Since the cause of the Group 1 isolation is not known, the event is being reported as a valid primary containment isolation signal affecting multiple Main Steam Isolation Valves. All systems have responded as expected, all control rods fully inserted following the Reactor Protection System actuation. The plant is currently shutdown in mode 3, RPV pressure and RPV level are stable. This event did not result in any radiological release from the plant. This event did not challenge the health and safety of the public. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The plant is in its normal shutdown electrical lineup. HPCI is in pressure suppression mode with RHR cooling the suppression pool. |
