On May 18, 1992 at approximately 1339 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, Main Feedwater Isolations occurred on the "A" Steam Generator (S/G). These feedwater isolations were caused by overfeeding the "A" S/G while in manual control, following a secondary system pressure transient.
Immediate operator action was to manually control the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRV) to reduce the steam generator water levels and stabilize the plant.
The immediate cause of the event is due to a secondary system pressure transient.
Corrective actions taken or planned are discussed in Section V of the text.

I ~ PRE EVENT PLANT CONDITIONS The plant was at approximately 974 steady state power with no major activities in progress. Instrument and Control (I&C) Department personnel were investigating the Advanced Digital Feedwater Control System (ADFCS) due to some feedwater oscillations that had occurred at approximately 1110 EDST, May 18, 1992. These feedwater oscillations were being caused by the "A" and "B" Steam Generator (S/G) Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRVs) cycling (between 43% and 484), at twice their normal frequency and in opposite phase from each other. This feedwater response (instability while in automatic control) was new and unexpected by the operators.

B~ EVENT:
On May 18, 1992, at approximately 1337 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, a secondary side condensate system decreasing pressure transient occurred. This pressure decrease traveled throughout the entire secondary side and was reflected as low feedwater header pressure and corresponding decrease in differential pressure across both FRVs.
The ADFCS responded to the low feedwater header pressure by increasing the open demand signal to the main FRVs in order to maintain the proper feedwater flow. At,:::Mhi.'s'g~)::;same@~t"ime$ >.:;,":,::.:,:fh'e"';:;,:",:;'.2!C1>:

ED METHOD OF DISCOVERY:
The event was immediately apparent due to alarms and indications in the Control Room.
OPERATOR ACTION:
The Control Room operators took immediate manual actions to control S/G levels and stabilize the plant. Subsequently, the Control Room operators notified higher supervision and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission per 10 CFR 50.72, Non-Emergency, 4 hour Notification.
Ge SAFETY SYSTEM RESPONSES:
The "A" S/G Main FRV began to close automatically as a result of the feedwater isolation signal. Due to the short duration that the signal was present, the valve never fully closed.

The feedwater isolation of the "A" S/G was an automatic actuation of an ESF system.
An assessment was performed considering both the safety consequences and implications of this event with the following results and conclusions:
There were no operational or safety consequences or implications attributed to the feedwater isolations because:
o The feedwater isolation signals occurred at the required S/G level.
o The plant was quickly stabilized and manual control of FRVs was accomplished to mitigate any consequences of the event.
o As the feedwater isolation signals occurred as designed, the assumptions of the FSAR for steam line break were met.
Based on the above, health it and safety was assured at can be concluded that the all times.

0 Short Term Response:
a) I&C technicians loosened and lubricated the actuator to stem connection block for the "8" FRV.
b) Operations was directed to place the Main FRV bypass valves in full open position and in automatic control, to reduce the feedwater control instability problem.
c) The packing on both FRVs was relaxed to minimum torque, to reduce any potential friction of the valve stem.
0 Intermediate Term Response:
a) Westinghouse has evaluated ADFCS "tuning constants" and has supplied new ADFCS gain values, in an attempt to reduce the ADFCS impact on feedwater control instability problems.
b) The new ADFCS gain values have been installed in the ADFCS software.
Instability problems have not been eliminated as a result of these new gain values.
