- E PERSON INJURED PHYSICALLY OR CASUALTY E U IS THERE A CONTINUING PROBLEM El E PRESS RELEASE ISSUED (IF YES, PLEASE ATTACH) El U EVENT DESCRIPTION On November 29, 2001, the licensee identified a potential common mode failure of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system upon a loss of instrument air. Specifically, a loss of instrument air would cause the AFW minimum flow recirculation valves to fail closed. At the time, there were no backup air or nitrogen accumulators associated with these specific valves. If the discharge or flow control valves for the AFW pumps had been throttled or closed while the minimum flow recirculation valves were also closed, the AFW pumps would have been placed in a condition of insufficient flow. This could have resulted in pump damage in a short interval of time. The licensee also identified that early in the post reactor trip emergency operating procedures, the operators were directed to control the AFW system flow without specific written guidance to maintain minimum AFW flow. The plant operators were directed to control flow to the steam generators to maintain desired level and to prevent overcooling of the reactor coolant system. The AFW minimum flow recirculation valves are air-operated. Without the short-term recovery of instrument air (within less than 10 minutes), the AFW minimum flow recirculation valves would fail closed potentially damaging the AFW pumps and causing the loss of secondary heat removal capability. There was no indication of recirculation flow
available to operators in the control room. Heat removal capability through primary system feed and bleed would also be adversely affected since instrument air is required to operate the pressurizer power-operated relief valves and nitrogen backup was not available. A loss of instrument air would cause a loss of normal feedwater and would initiate a dual-unit reactor trip.
In addition, other initiating events, e.g., fire, loss of off-site power, may have a similar vulnerability.
The licensee's corrective actions included prompt operator training, procedural changes to the emergency operating procedures, and the addition of back-up pneumatic supplies for the AFW pump minimum flow recirculation valves.
RATING JUSTIFICATION AND DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED This event was rated in accordance with the INES User's Manual (2001 Edition). There were no off-site or on-site releases or consequences in this event. Also, no actual initiating events occurred. To obtain the INES rating, Section IV-3.2.1.3 (b) "Events without a real initiator" of the INES User's Manual was used. The initiating event was assumed to be a loss of instrument air (LOIA). LOIA causes a loss of secondary cooling capability if all AFW pumps are damaged due to insufficient flow.
Using Table IV of the INES User's manual, the operability of the degraded safety function (core cooling) was considered Adequate (C) because defense in depth provisions remain to perform the safety function. LOIA is judged to be an "Expected" initiating event. Therefore, the event rating for impact on defense in depth without an actual initiator is INES Level 2.
