| Title | Manual Actuation of Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFW) |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 0645 EST, on November 8, 2023, with Unit 2 in Mode 3 at zero percent power, a manual actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system (AFW) occurred during a planned plant cooldown. The reason for the AFW manual-start was a trip of the 22 steam generator feed pump due to a high casing level. The 23 AFW motor driven pump was manually started in accordance with implementation of AOP-3G, Malfunction of Main Feedwater System to restore steam generator levels. There was no impact to Unit 1. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the AFW system. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: No other systems were affected. No other compensatory or mitigation strategies implemented. Plant cooldown was the only significant evolution in progress. No impact to other technical specifications or limiting conditions for operation. All systems functioned as required. The electric plant is being supplied by offsite power with all diesel generators available. No significant increase in plant risk. There was nothing unusual or not understood. |
