On August 22, 2011 at 1513 (hrs. EDT), Uni … On August 22, 2011 at 1513 (hrs. EDT), Unit 1 was manually tripped due to rising condenser backpressure. All CEAs fully inserted into the core. Decay heat removal was initially from main feedwater and steam bypass to the main condenser. The cause of the rising back pressure was an influx of jellyfish into the intake structure, degrading the circulating water system performance.</br>Subsequent to the manual trip, the 1B Main Feedwater Pump was manually secured due to a leak on the pump casing. The 1A Main Feedwater Pump subsequently tripped due to low suction pressure after manually securing the 1B Condensate Pump, per procedure. Decay heat removal was transitioned to atmospheric dump valves and auxiliary feedwater.</br>Unit 2 is in Mode 1, currently at 70 % power. Unit 2 power is being reduced from 100% in response to the influx of jellyfish.</br>This event is reportable pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) for the reactor trip.</br>During the transient, no primary or secondary relief valves lifted. Offsite power is stable and the plant is in its normal shutdown electrical line-up with power being supplied from offsite. There is no known primary-to-secondary leakage. The cause of the 1A Main Feedwater Pump trip is under investigation.</br>Unit 2 remained at 70% reactor power before and after the event.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.</br>* * * UPDATE AT 1856 EDT ON 08/22/11 FROM CARLOS SANTOS TO JOE O'HARA * * *</br>On August 22, 2011 an abnormal fish kill of at least 1000 lbs was observed in the combined unit's intake canal. The cause of the fish kill was related to an unusually large sustained influx of jellyfish into the intake canal.</br>Per the plant's environmental permit, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) was notified at 1627 EDT. This non-emergency notification is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to the notification of the FWCC.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.e has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. +
