Description:

Shift Manager contacts the SRO and directs a load reduction using AOI-39. Rapid Load Reduction, to 90% at 2%/min. to attempt to reduce main turbine vibration.

Time Position Applicants Actions or Behavior EXAMINER: This event is initiated by the Console Operator (in the role of Shift Manager) contacting the SRO and directing a load reduction to 90% at 2%/min. using AOI-39, Rapid Load Reduction, to attempt to reduce main turbine vibrations.

EXAMINER: When the BOP depresses the Turbine Control GO pushbutton, the severity of the Main Turbine vibration will increase to 14 mils after a 3.5 minute time delay (turbine load at approximately 93%).

AOI-39 The following actions are taken from AOI-39, Rapid Load Reduction.

CAUTION Over boration may result in excessive rod withdrawal, T-avg lower than desired, and AFD oscillations.

NOTE

  • Rod Control should remain in automatic for T-avg Control
  • Reactivity Briefing Sheet, Thumb Rules (page 3), lists boration flows and volumes for different reduction rates.
  • Effect of boration will lag behind turbine load reduction and can be compensated for by temporarily increasing boric acid flow rate above recommended rate.
1. INITIATE a manual boration:
a. DETERMINE recommended boration flow rate and volume from Reactivity Briefing Sheet:

RO determines that approximately 90 to 100 gallons of boric acid are required.

b. INITIATE normal boration:
1) ADJUST BA flow controller, 1-FC-62-139, to desired flow rate.

RO adjusts 1-FC-62-139 to a value which corresponds to 27 to 40 gpm.

2) ADJUST BA batch counter 1-FQ-62-139 to required quantity.

RO RO adjusts 1-FQ-62-139 BA BATCH COUNTER as follows:

1. Depresses and holds the black pushbutton.
2. While holding the pushbutton, the applicant raises the red translucent cover.
3. While still holding the pushbutton, the applicant enters value determined in a. above (90-100 gallons) in the display.

Time Position Applicants Actions or Behavior Critical Task 2 Perform actions of 1-FR-H.1, Loss of Secondary Heat Sink, to place the Standby Main Feedwater Pump in service and establish flow into at least one SG before RCS bleed and feed is required.

13. ESTABLISH feedwater flow:
a. START secondary plant pumps as necessary:
1) Hotwell pumps.

All hotwell pumps may be running at this point. If not, the BOP starts the remaining pumps.

2) Condensate booster pumps.

BOP determines that the Condensate booster pumps are not required since the Standby Main Feedwater Pump is available.

3) Cond DI booster pumps.

BOP determines that the Cond DI booster pumps are not required since the Standby Main Feedwater Pump is available.

b. CHECK MSIVs OPEN.

BOP BOP observes the MSIVs are OPEN by RED lights LIT and GREEN lights DARK on 1-HS-1-4A, MSIV SG 1, 1-HS-1-11A, MSIV SG 2, 1-HS 22A, MSIV SG 3, 1-HS-1-29A, MSIV SG 4.

c. ESTABLISH MFW pump flow:

BOP determines that due to the previous failures of both MFW pumps that the MFW pumps cannot be returned to service.

1) START MFW pump turbine or standby feed pump.

BOP locates 1-HS-3-200A, STANDBY MFWP, and rotates the handswitch to the RIGHT to the START position. BOP observes 1-EI 200, STANDBY MFWP AMPS for normal amps. BOP observes 1-PI 203A, STANDBY MFWP DISCH PRESS for normal discharge pressure.

2.) CONTROL MFW pump and bypass reg valve(s) to restore S/G level(s).

BOP throttles open the bypass reg valves to establish flow to all SGs.

14. CHECK secondary heat sink restored:

BOP a. NR level in at least one S/G greater than 29% [39% ADV].

BOP reports that ALL SG narrow range levels are less than 29%.

14. RESPONSE NOT OBTAINED:
a. IF feed flow established to at least one S/G:
  • S/G Wide Range level rising, BOP reports that S/G Wide Range levels are rising.

OR SRO

  • Incore T/C dropping.

RO locates an RVLIS - ICCM PLASMA DISPLAY, and reports that Incore T/C temperatures are dropping.

THEN MAINTAIN flow to restore NR level to greater than 29% [39%

ADV].

IF feed flow NOT established to at least one S/G, THEN ** GO TO Step 15.

b. RETURN TO Instruction in effect.

SRO SRO determines that the instruction in effect prior to entry into FR-H.1, Loss of Secondary Heat Sink, is ES-0.1, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection.

Description:

Loss of Secondary Heat Sink occurs, requiring performance of 1-FR-H.1, Loss of Secondary Heat Sink. Requires Standby Main Feedwater pump to be placed in service to restore the heat sink.

Time Position Applicants Actions or Behavior EXAMINER: The following actions are taken from 1-FR-H.1, Appendix A, Establishing MFW following Reactor Trip.

CAUTION

1) Rx trip breakers must be cycled to allow reset of MFW when isolated by SI or HI-HI S/G level or Valve Vault Room level switches.
2) If any valid SI signal has occurred since SI reset, cycling Rx trip breakers may initiate SI actuation, if signal has NOT yet been blocked by IMs.

A. ENSURE MFW reg valves controllers in MANUAL, AND SET to ZERO demand.

BOP locates 1-FIC-3-35, SG 1-MFW REG VLV, transfers the controller to manual by depressing the AUTO/MANUAL pushbutton and BOP observing the YELLOW light for MAN LIT. The BOP depresses and holds the RAMP pushbutton and the << pushbutton simultaneously until the controller display indicates the valve is closed.

BOP locates each of the remaining Main Feed Reg valve controllers and performs the actions for each valve.

B. ENSURE bypass reg valves controllers in MANUAL, AND SET to ZERO demand.

BOP locates 1-FIC-3-35A, SG 1-MFW BYPASS REG CONTROL, transfers the controller to manual by depressing the AUTO/MANUAL pushbutton and observing the YELLOW light foe MAN LIT. The BOP BOP depresses and holds the RAMP pushbutton and the << pushbutton simultaneously until the controller display indicates the valve is closed.

BOP locates each of the remaining MFW BYPASS REG CONTROL controllers and performs the actions for each valve.

C. WHEN SI signals blocked OR cleared, THEN CYCLE reactor trip breakers to allow MFW Isolation reset.

BOP SRO determines that since no SI has occurred, the reactor trip breakers DO NOT have to be cycled to allow the MFW isolation to be RESET.
