ENS 484752 November 2012 03:30:00At 0142 CDT, Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 was manually tripped due to high temperature indications on the 1-04 reactor coolant pump motor radial bearing concurrent with a high / low oil reservoir level alarm. The trip was uncomplicated; all control rods and shutdown rods fully inserted; neither emergency diesel generator started; all safety systems functioned as designed. Both motor driven and the turbine driven auxiliary feed water pumps started as required to restore steam generator levels as a result of the trip. The turbine driven AFW pump was stopped per procedure and returned to auto-start status. Currently, Unit 1 is in Mode 3, no load Tave of 557 degrees F, with temperature being maintained with AFW and steam dumps to the main condenser. All electrical busses are powered from offsite and grid conditions are stable. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
