UNPLANNED SHUTDOWN IN EXCESS OF 48 HOURS '
On October 5, 1988, at 1:53 p.m., while at 100*. power, the "C" Main Steam Isolation i
Valve (MSIV) closed fully during partial stroke testing of the valve. The partial ,
- stroke testing was part of a a routine, surveillance. The MSIV-C closure resulted in a water lever decrease (shrink) in th? "C" Steam Generator (SG) and subsequent Reactor /
turbine trip on low-low SG 1evel. The resident inspector responded to the control room and noted that the operators and plant syste'ms responded as expected except that the post-trip cooldown was greater than expected (531 degrees F vice 557 degrees F). The larger than expected coolduwn was attributed to high auxiliary feedwater (AFW) flow in combination with high post-trip steam loads. The licensee is continuing to investigate the event sequence.
, The licensee is extending the shutdown for maintenance on the "B" main feedwater *
- regulating valve, which was being operated in manual because it had been sticking during operation in automatic. Present plans are to perform all work with the plant
' i in hot shutdown and to start-up on October 8, 1988. i
- The licensee notified the news media of the shutdown. The State of Connecticut has been informed.
This information is current as of 9:30 a.m. (EDT), October 6, 1988.
