Title | Manual Reactor Scram and Automatic Actuation of Containment Isolation Valves (Civs) |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
At 1432 EDT on 03/31/23, with Unit 2 in mode 1 at 97 percent power, the reactor was manually tripped due to a loss of both recirculation pumps. The cause of the recirculation pump trips is under investigation. Additionally, closure of CIVs in multiple systems occurred during the trip as a result of reaching the actuation setpoint on reactor water level as designed. The trip was not complex, with all systems responding normally post-trip. Operations responded and stabilized the plant. Reactor water level is being maintained via condensate / feedwater. Decay heat is being removed by discharging steam to the main condenser using the turbine bypass valves. Unit 1 is not affected. Due to the Reactor Protection System actuation while critical, this event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). It is also reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of CIVs. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
