Title | Automatic Reactor Trip |
Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 0035 EDT on April 13, 2024, with Unit 1 at 97 percent power, the reactor automatically tripped due to 1 of 3 reactor coolant pump (RCP) low flow reactor trip [signal] associated with a loss of the A and B 4160 volt normal buses. Auxiliary feedwater and the 1-1 emergency diesel generator (EDG) automatically started on valid actuation signals. The 1-1 EDG sequenced on to supply all required loads per plant design. All control rods fully inserted and the trip was not complex with all systems responding normally post-trip. Operators have responded and stabilized the unit in Mode 3 [Hot Standby]. Decay heat is being removed by discharging steam to the main condenser via the condenser steam dump system with steam generators being supplied by the main feedwater system. Unit 2 is not affected by the event. 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). Due to the valid actuations of auxiliary feedwater and the 1-1 EDG, this event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). There was no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC senior resident inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Power for the A-E Bus is on the 1-1 EDG. The D-F Bus is on offsite power. One electrical train of offsite power is down. |
