| ENS 43854 | 19 December 2007 14:57:00 | At 1145 hrs. EST, operators inserted a manual reactor scram due to lowering reactor water level after the 'A' main feedwater pump tripped. Prior to the scram, the plant was operating at reduced power due to removing the 'B' main feedwater pump from service for planned maintenance. Reactor water level was at 155" when the scram was initiated and lowered to 100" during the transient. Currently, reactor water level is at the normal operating band and is being maintained by the feedwater system. After the scram, all safety systems functioned as expected. There were no system isolations due to the transient. Electrical power is being provided by normal offsite sources via the startup transformer. Decay heat is being removed via the normal path through bypasses to the main condensers. Additionally, the licensee made an offsite notification to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection due to approximately 300 dead or distressed fish in the discharge canal. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
