maintenance. - The unit returned to 100% reactor power on 7/1/89 at 0600.

On.7/4/89 at 1915 a reactor / turbine trip occurred on over temperature delta temperature. The wrong size relay had been installed in the main generator output breaker circuitry. Failure in the relay resulted in the output breaker opening and subsequent reactor trip. 'The correct size relay was replaced in the breaker circuitry and the unit was returned to service on 7/7/89 at 1449.

On 7/21/89 at 0120 the unit reduced reactor power to ~48% to reduce the bearing temperature of a steam driven feedwater pump. A motor driven feedwater pump was started but was forced to shutdown due to high motor bearing vibrations. With the motor driven pump'out of service the unit was limited to the capacity of' the remaining two feedwater pumps. Reactor power was returned to 83% on 7/22/89 at 1300. On 7/26/89 repairs to the motor driven pump were completed and the unit returned to 100% reactor power at 1100.

On 7/29/89 at 0300 the inboard seal on the motor driven feedwater pump failed. Reactor power was reduced to ~80% to allow for-securing the pump. The unit completed the report period at ~80%

l PORVs and Safety Valves Summary On JulyL4, 1989"at'1915 the Unit i generator output circuit-

' breaker opened.~ The cause of the breaker opening was due to the failure'of a' relay in'the Main Generator Breaker Protection and Control Circuit. Following the opening of the breaker an actuation of the Overspeed Protection Control caused the four governor valves to' close. This' rapid termination of steam flow caused steam pressure,

.T-ave and pressurizer pressure to immediately. increase. As a result P of the pressurizer increase, Pressurizer Power Operated. Relief Valve-(PORV)-656A opened and remained open for approximately.3 seconds. The steam generator PORV's also began to open as'a response to the.

increased steam pressure. The reduction in steam flow from the steam l . generators. caused Reactor Coolant System Delta-T to decrease. The rapid increase:in T-ave caused the OT Delta-T setpoint to decrease.

faster than the rate'of Delta-T. decrease. This resulted in a 2 of 4 u OT Delta-T reactor trip shortly after the governor valves closed. The l: reactor trip then resulted in a turbine trip.

Monthly Summary STPEGS Unit 2 began the reporting period at 100% reactor power.

On 7/13/89 at 2002 with reactor power at ~98% Unit 2 l' experienced a turbine trip followed by a' reactor trip when Main Transformer 2A faulted internally causing severe' damage to the transformer. The area where the fault occurred'is known, but the l root cause of the event is unknown at thin time.

l After determining that Main Transformer 2B was capable of being energized, Unit 2 went critical on 7/18/89 at 0444. The Unit entered Mode 3 at 1156 to repair Feedwater Isolation Bypass Valves. On 7/19/89 the repair work was completed and the unit went back on line at 1040 and commenced power ascension to ~65%.

The unit concluded the report period at ~65% power.

PORV's and Safety Valves Summarv ll On July 16, 1989, Unit 2 was in Mode 3 at normal operating pressure u -and temperature. Reactor Coolant Pump 2A was in service with the associated spray valve in manual and full open.. The Pressurizer heaters were off and the l'

. Master Controller:was in Automatic. Heat Removal from the Reactor Coolant System was being accomplished by feeding the steam generators with auxiliary feedwater- At approximately 0031 hours3.587963e-4 days <br />0.00861 hours <br />5.125661e-5 weeks <br />1.17955e-5 months <br /> on July -16, .1989, Lauxiliary feedwater

. flow was throttled back to maintain steam generator level between 50 and 70 percent. -This resulted in the heat addition rate to the RCS being greater than the heat removal rate and subsequently RCS pressure began to rise.

At approximately 0055 hours6.365741e-4 days <br />0.0153 hours <br />9.093915e-5 weeks <br />2.09275e-5 months <br /> Presr.urizer Pressure Deviation High Alarm annunciated with pressure at approximately 2260 psig and stable. 'This deviation continued to exist until 0109 hours0.00126 days <br />0.0303 hours <br />1.802249e-4 weeks <br />4.14745e-5 months <br />,'which resulted in the output.

I, from the' Master Controller increasing such that PORV 655A operated.

  • Pressurizer pressure was automatically reduced to 2230 psig. Plant Operations.

perscnnel took remedial actions to stabilize pressure at 2235 psig.

South Texas Project has 2 Pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs). one which operates based upon a fixed setpoint of 2335 psig. The second PORV receives its input from the Master Controller which is a proportional bank controller and varies the setpoint of PORV 655A. The Mastre Controller also sends an output signal to the Pressurizer heaters, spray valves (if in automatic) and Pressure Deviation High Alarm. This Master Controller has an integration function where the control signal is increased s

-ba~ed on'the time period that a deviation exists.

Based on procedures and training the operators did not recognize that the integration function of the Master Controller would open PORV 655A at a pressure less than 2335 psig. Procedures are being revised and training'is being provided to ensure that operators understand and correctly respond to pressure transients of this nature prior to PORV actuation.
