| ENS 53546 | 10 August 2018 23:13:00 | On 8/10/2018 at 1445 (CDT) both trains of Cooling Water (Cooling Water Pumps for Emergency Diesel Generators) were declared INOPERABLE and both units entered (Technical Specification) (TS) 3.0.3 due to corroded jacket cooling water plugs for (the) 12 and 22 cooling water pump motors; therefore this condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v). At 1543 (CDT), 08/10/2018 the 121 Cooling Water pump was aligned to the "A" Cooling Water train and the TS 3.0.3 condition was exited for both units. (After restoring train A cooling water the site entered a seven day limiting condition for operations, TS 3.7.8 for one inoperable cooling water pump.) There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
Testing and forensic analysis performed subsequent to the notification has determined the as-found condition would not have impacted either diesel-driven pumps' ability to start, run, and meet flow/pressure requirements to perform their required safety function. Therefore, EN# 53546 is being retracted. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of the Event Notification retraction. Notified R3DO (Kozak). |
| ENS 51266 | 27 July 2015 14:28:00 | On July 27, 2015 at 0902 (CDT), (the site commenced) a planned outage of the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) and Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), referred to as 'plant computer'. The unavailability of ERDS and SPDS could significantly affect the site's ability to respond to an emergency if one were to occur. During this time, Operations will be utilizing the site's procedures 1C1.5 and 2C1.5, 'OPERATION WITHOUT COMPUTER', which requires additional operators for monitoring of equipment affected by the loss of the plant computer. Additionally, as this is a planned outage, the work week schedule has been modified to ensure limited interactions required by Operations during this time frame. The site expects ERDS and SPDS to be operational 1200 July 28, 2015. This event is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii), Any event that results in a major loss of emergency assessment capability, offsite response capability, or offsite communications capability (e.g., significant portion of Control Room indication, Emergency Notification System (ENS), or Offsite Notification System). The ENS and Offsite Notification System are not affected by this planned outage. The health and safety of the public are not impacted by this planned outage. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed. |
| ENS 51107 | 1 June 2015 02:25:00 | On May 31, 2015 at 2220 CDT, the Unit 1 reactor was manually tripped while operating at 100 percent power due to a lockout trip of 11 Condensate Pump followed by a lockout trip of 11 Main Feedwater Pump. Manual Reactor Trip is directed by the annunciator response procedure for the lockout alarm, C47010-0101, 11 Feedwater Pump Locked Out. This also resulted in a turbine trip. The crew entered the reactor trip emergency operating procedures and stabilized the unit in Mode 3 at normal operating pressure and temperature. All control rods fully inserted into the core following the trip. The manual trip is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). The Auxiliary Feedwater System actuated to start the auxiliary feedwater pumps as designed on low narrow range steam generator level and provided makeup flow to the steam generators. The auxiliary feedwater actuation is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). Steam generator levels have been returned to normal. Following the reactor trip, 15A Feedwater Heater relief lifted and failed to reseat. 12 Main Feedwater Pump was subsequently secured resulting in 15A Feedwater Heater relief valve reseating successfully. Steam generators are being supplied by 12 Motor Drive Auxiliary Feedwater Pump and decay heat is being removed by the condenser steam dump system. The cause of 11 Condensate Pump trip remains under investigation. There was no effect on Unit 2 as a result of this trip. The health and safety of the public and site personnel were not at risk at any time during this event. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. Unit 2 is unaffected and remains at 100 percent power. |
