Title | Invalid Emergency Feedwater Actuation |
Event Description | On December 1, 2015, at 2119 EST, with Unit 1 in power operation mode, during a planned maintenance activity, an invalid Heat Sink Protection System (HSPS) actuation occurred. At the time of the event, electrical maintenance technicians were verifying a HSPS relay contact state using an electrical test meter. The contact was being verified open by recording both voltage and resistance readings across the contact. The technicians first measured voltage. No voltage was found, indicating the relay contact was open, as expected. The technicians then measured for resistance across the open contact. Test meters have lower circuit impedance when measuring resistance as opposed to voltage, which can result in electrically bridging across open contacts. When the meter was installed across the open contact to obtain the resistance reading, the HSPS actuation circuit logic was completed and the inadvertent HSPS actuation occurred. The HSPS actuation resulted in the steam driven Emergency Feedwater (EFW) pump automatically starting and control valves receiving actuation set point signals. There was no emergency feed water injection into the steam generators. At the time of the inadvertent HSPS actuation, steam generator operating levels were above the HSPS actuation setpoint.
The specific train and system that actuated was the Heat Sink Protection System, Emergency Feedwater System Actuation on Loss of All Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) Train A. The HSPS Loss of all RCP Train A actuation was complete. The EFW valves and EFW steam driven pump started and functioned successfully. This is reported under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) for an invalid actuation of HSPS Loss of all RCP Train A and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), this notification of the invalid actuation is provided in lieu of a written LER. The Licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
