E. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

The following corrective actions are completed or planned.

Completed:

YEAR

3. LEA NUMBER SEQUENTIAL NUMBER 2018-001-00 Control circuit card has been replaced and adjusted to correct tolerances and retested satisfactorily.

REV.

NO.

Planned actions included in the corrective action program which may be changed in accordance with the program:

Revise procedure to set up TCV circuitry to reflect appropriate test report F.

SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE

The safety significance of this event is low because all systems operated as designed and the TCV changes did not challenge any safety parameters. The manual scram was performed as a conservative measure. There were no actual nuclear safety consequences or radiological consequences during the eve~t.

G. PREVIOUS SIMILAR EVENTS

Entergy conducted a three-year review of the relevant licensee event reports and determined that there was one similar known event reported as GGNS Licensee Event Report 2016-05-00 "Automatic Reactor SCRAM." The failure in that event was a failed amplifier card, which is different from this event which is an incorrect potentiometer setting. Therefore, the corrective actions for the previous event would not have prevented this event.
