ENS 40791 | 4 June 2004 08:21:00 | San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) experienced a large influx of seaweed that required securing one of the four running Circulating Water (CW) pumps. When conditions continued to degrade, the Operations Department decided to manually trip the unit. During the trip, all control rods inserted into the core. No manual or power-operated relief valves lifted during the transient. Decay heat is being removed via the atmospheric dump valves. There is no known primary-to-secondary leakage. The Operations staff is maintaining the unit at normal operating pressure and temperature. The electrical grid is stable. Currently, only one CW pump is running. Unit 2 is unaffected and is not experiencing a seaweed influx at this time. The licensee has informed the NRC Resident Inspector |
