Title | Manual Reactor Trip |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 1041 CST on 11/14/23 with Farley Unit 2 in Mode 1 at 10 percent power, the reactor was manually tripped due to rising steam generator levels. The trip was not complex, with all systems responding normally post-trip. Operations responded and stabilized the plant. Auxiliary feedwater (AFW) was manually initiated in accordance with plant procedures and is feeding the steam generators. Heat removal is being provided via the atmospheric relief 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). This event is also being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater 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: All rods fully inserted. The licensee attempted to take manual control of the feedwater control valves to lower steam generator level but, due to reaching a steam generator level that requires a manual trip, the licensee manually tripped the reactor. |
