,8 , j NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION e r ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS

'oh [ WASHINGTON D. C. 20555 September 23, 1985 MEMORANDUM FOR: J. Ebersole, Chairman Palo Verde Nuclear Station Subcommittee FROM: D. Houston, Staff Engineer

SUBJECT:

PALO VERDE UNIT 1 LOSS OF LOAD EVENT On September 12, 1985, a planned load rejection test was performed at Palo Verde, Unit 1, with the reactor power level at 55%. This test led to the unanticipated sequence of turbine trip, bus failure, reactor trip, safety injection, containment isolation and loss of pressurizer auxiliary spray system. Attached are copies of the morning reports and OR Briefing slides that describe the sequence of events and the NRC concerns about it. The pressurizer did not require the spray system to function for pressure reduction. However, the spray would have been unavailable during the event. The primary spray is fed off the reactor coolant pump discharge and these pumps had tripped on undervoltage. The auxiliary spray is fed from charging pumps and these were unavailable due to the bus failure (autotransfer malfunction).

The Staff is still reviewing many aspects of this event. I am told that Region V has issued a Conformation of Action letter to the Utility which prohibits start-up of Unit I until these concerns are satisfactorily resolved. When available, I will provide the Staff's SER on this matter.

MORNING REPORT - REGION V DATE: SEPTEMBER 13, 1985 .

i ITEM OR EVENT REGIONAL ACTION AN UNUSUAL EVENT HAS DECLARED AT 10:23 PM THURSDAY, l

SEPTEMBER 1Z, 1985, FOLLONING AN UNPLANNED REACTOR TRIP. FOLLOWUP PER MC 2515 AT 10:10 PM AN UNPLANNED MAIN TURBINE TRIP GCCURRED HHEN A PLANNED LOAD REJECTION WAS INITIATED DURING THE CONDUCT OF POWER ASCENSION TESTING AT UNIT t. WITH THE REACTOR AT 55% FULL POWER, A CONDITION UF THE PL ANNED TEST, THE MAIN GENERATOR WAS SUPPLYING APPROXIMATELY 70 MH OF HOUSE LOADS TO THE REACTOR COOLANT PUMPS (RCPS) AND NON VITAL LOADS ON THE 13.8 KV ELECTRICAL BUSSES. AFTER THE TURBINE TRIPPED THE LOADS ON THE MAIN GENERATOR DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER TO THE STARTUP TRANSFORMER AND SEQUENTIALLY DEENERGIZED UNTIL THE RCPS TRIPPED ON LOW VOLTAGE.

THE REACTOR TRIPPED WHEN THE CORE PROTECTION CALCULATOR SENSED THAT THE RCPS HAD TRIPPED. FOLLOWING THE REACTOR TRIP. THE PLANT OPERATORS MANUALLY REENERGIZED THE 13.8 KV NONESSENTIAL SUSSES. WHEN THE BUSSES REENERGIZED, DRAIN VALVES ON THE MAIN STEAM HEADER AND ON THE MAIN TURBINE STOP VALVES, HAD AUTOMATICALLY STARTED TO OPEN WHEN THE MAIN TURBINE TRIPPED AND THEN STOPPED NMEN POWER WAS LOST, AND CONTINUED TO COMPLETE THE OPENING. THE INCREASED COOL DOWN OF THE REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM (RCS) CAUSED THE PRESSURIZER PRES $URE AND LEVEL TO DECREASE TO THE SAFETY INJECTION SETPOINT. THE SAFETY INJECTION ALSO INITIATED A CONTAINMENT SUILDING ISOLATION. THE STATION EMERGENCY PLAN REQUIRES THAT WITH A REACTOR TRIP, SAFETY INJECTION

' AND CONTAINMENT ISOLATION, AN UNUSUAL EVENT BE DECLAREC.

OPERATORS SHUT DOWN THE DRAIN VfLVES AT 11:24 PM AND COMMENCED RESTORING THE PLANT TO NORMAL STATUS. AFTER PRESSURIZER PRES $URE AND LEVEL NERE RESTORED AND THE RCPS STARTED, THE UNUSUAL EVENT WAS TERMINATED AT 1:03 AM SEPTEM8ER 13, 1985. THE LICENSEE IS MAINTAINING THE PLANT IN MODE 3 NHILE DETERMINING THE CAUSE OF THE TURBINE TRIP, AND MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO THE MAIN STEAM HEADER AND MAIN TURBINE STOP VALVE CONTROL CIRCUITRY TO PREVENT THE VALVES FROM OPENING AUTOMATICALLY AFTER A TURBINE TRIP.

ALL ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES PERFORMED AS REQUIRED.

THE RESIDENT INSPECTOR HAS ON $1TE DURING THE RECOVERY FROM THE EVENT. THE NEWS MEDIA NAS NOTIFIED OF THIS EVENT.

t PLANT HAD RTR TRIP FROM 54% ON LOW RCS FLOW SIGNAL DUE TO LOSS OF RC PUMPS

" CECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER TO NANSO1 & S02 BUS WHICH OCCURRED DURING A LARGE t

LOAD REJECTION TEST WHEN THE BUS FAILED TO AUTO TRANSFER FROM THE GENERATOR BACK TO THE STARTUP TRANSFORMER. THEY ALSO LOST THE CIRC WATER FMPS WHICH ARE POWERED BY THE SAME BUS. THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSFER FAILURE IS BEING INVESTIGATED. SI OCCURRED ON LOW PRESSURE IN THE FRIMARY AND THEY ALSO GOT CONTAINMENT, ISOLATION. AT THIS TIME THE AMOUNT OF WATER INJECTED HAD NOT BEEN CALCULATED. THE PLANT IS IN HOT S/B AND NATURAL CIRCULATION WITH THE SI PMPS STILL ON. PLANT ALSO HAS THEIR AUX FEED PMPS OPERATING. *** UPDATE ***

l NOUE TERMINATED AT 010CMT. PLANT HAS 2 RC PMPS RUNNING. SI WAS ALSO SECURED. NOTIFIED RDO CREWS,ED PARTLOW, FEMA GREINER I
