This is an information only notification t … This is an information only notification that Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 has initiated a plant shutdown as of 1800 on 10/23/08, a proactive measure, to complete repairs on the Train 'A' Low Head Safety Injection (LHSI) Pump 2SIS-P21A. On 10/19/08 at 2326, Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 removed 2SIS-P21A from service for routine preventive maintenance. Technical Specification 3.5.2, Condition A was entered during this maintenance activity with the Required Action A.1 to restore 2SIS-P21A to operable status within 72 hours (2326 on 10/22/08). On 10/20/08, during this maintenance; the pump shaft was unable to be rotated by hand after approximately 3/4 revolution. The pump was then disassembled and the apparent cause was determined to be that the pump rotating assembly was not centralized in the casing bore resulting in minimal clearance between the pump wear rings. On 10/22/08, First Energy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) requested enforcement discretion from the NRC to permit an additional 36 hours of time to complete repairs on the pump. The NRC verbally granted FENOC's request for enforcement discretion on 10/22/08 at 1105. The enforcement discretion period will expire on 10/24/08 at 1126. Since unexpected difficulties have delayed the reassembly of the pump, FENOC management decided to proactively shutdown Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No.2 beginning at 1800 on 10/23/08. While pump reassembly and testing to restore operability may still be completed by the end of the enforcement discretion period, FENOC management determined that it was more prudent to shutdown the unit at this time so that the Operations crews are not placed under undue time pressure to reach Mode 3 conditions. </br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.</br>* * * UPDATE PROVIDED BY DANIEL SCHWER TO JASON KOZAL ON 10/24/08 AT 0922 * * *</br>This 4-hour notification is to report that Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 has initiated a manual reactor shutdown at 0600 on 10/24/08 in accordance with Technical Specification 3.5.2, 'ECCS - Operating'. On 10/19/08 at 2326 Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 removed 2SIS-P21A (Train 'A' Low Head Safety Injection (LHSI) Pump) from service for routine preventive maintenance. Technical Specification 3.5.2 was not met during this maintenance activity for two operable trains of Emergency Core Cooing System and Condition A was entered with the Required Action A.1 to restore 2SIS-P21A to operable status within 72 hours (2326 on 10/22/08). Problems were unexpectedly encountered during this maintenance; the pump shaft was unable to be rotated by hand after approximately 3/4 revolution. The pump was disassembled and the apparent cause was determined to be that the pump rotating assembly was not centralized in the casing bore resulting in minimal clearance between the pump wear rings. On 10/22/08 FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company requested enforcement discretion from the NRC to permit an additional 36 hours of time to complete reassembly of the pump. The NRC verbally granted FENOC's request for enforcement discretion on 10/22/08 at 1105. The enforcement discretion period would have expired on 10/24/08 at 1126. Since unexpected difficulties have delayed the reassembly of the pump, FENOC management decided to proactively shutdown Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No.2 beginning at 1800 on 10/23/08 (reference Information Only EN#44597). Beaver Valley Power Station Unit No. 2 entered Mode 3 at 0519 on 10/24/08 as part of the planned controlled shutdown. On 10/24/08 at 0600, Technical Specification 3.5.2, Condition B was entered based on a determination that the projected work completion time for restoring 2SIS-P21A to operable status would not meet the conditions of the enforcement discretion. Technical Specification 3.5.2, Required Action B.1 was met since the plant was in Mode 3, the plant is continuing the cooldown to be in Mode 4 within 12 hours per Required Action B.2. This event is being reported as a Technical Specification required shutdown pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(i).</br>No radiological release occurred due to this event.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.</br>Notified R1DO (Cahill).esident Inspector.
