| Title | 60-Day Optional Telephonic Notification for an Invalid Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation |
| Event Description | This 60-day telephone notification is being submitted in accordance with paragraphs 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) and 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to report an invalid Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) actuation at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant (WBN) Unit 1.
On April 28, 2017 at approximately 0500 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), Unit 1 maintenance personnel were performing 1-IMI-3.005, '18 Month Calibration of Anticipated Transient Without Scram System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC),' when an AMSAC actuation signal was received. Both Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps (MDAFWPs) were already in service when this actuation occurred. The Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFWP) did not start as it had been removed from service. Additionally, steam generator blowdown isolated as required. During this event, AMSAC actuation was complete and equipment functioned as expected by its operating state. Upon identification of the AMSAC actuation, maintenance activities were halted and a prompt investigation was initiated. WBN found that the procedure in use for the 18 month calibration had been recently revised. The procedure called for maintenance to connect an analog multi-meter set on resistance to incorrect points during performance of the procedure. When the analog multi-meter was connected to the incorrect points, a relay was energized resulting in an AMSAC actuation. The procedure was revised and the test completed. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
