IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE:
Controlled Reactor Shutdown Due To 21 Centrifugal Charging Pump Inoperable Greater Than 72 Hours Event Date: 9/22/94 Report Date: 10/12/94 This report was initiated by Incident Report No.94-271.
CONDITIONS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE:
Mode 1 Reactor Power 100% Unit Load 1080 MWe At 0108 hours0.00125 days <br />0.03 hours <br />1.785714e-4 weeks <br />4.1094e-5 months <br /> on September 19, 1994, 21 Centrifugal Charging Pump (CCP) {BQ/P} was removed from service for scheduled preventive maintenance (PM). One of the activities was to investigate unusual noise from the speed increaser {BQ/P/SC} during pump operation. An adjustment was made to the motor shaft to speed increaser coupling.
Following post-maintenance testing, the pump, motor, and speed increaser vibrations were satisfactory and testing results satisfied ASME criteria for pump operability. Increased axial vibration readings were measured in the speed increaser. After Engineering review and consultation with the vendor, it was determined that the increased axial vibration did not impact pump operability. The pump was determined to be operable and returned to service, at 2100 hours0.0243 days <br />0.583 hours <br />0.00347 weeks <br />7.9905e-4 months <br /> on September 21, 1994. Additional vibration readings were recommended to verify that the axial vibration remained stable and that the consequences of the coupling adjustment were negligible.
DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:
At 2330 hours0.027 days <br />0.647 hours <br />0.00385 weeks <br />8.86565e-4 months <br /> (same day), additional vibration readings indicated unstable and increasing axial vibration in the 21CCP speed increaser. This condition challenged pump operability and at approximately 0100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, on September 22,1994, it was declared inoperable (effective from prior removal from service on September 19th) .
Insufficient time remained to restore the pump to Operable status
LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER} TEXT CONTINUATION Salem Generating Station DOCKET NUMBER LER NUMBER PAGE Unit 2 5000311 94-010-00 3 of 4 DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE: (cont'd) prior to expiration of the 72-hour action time of Technical Specification (TS} 3.5.2.a, which occurred at 0108 hours0.00125 days <br />0.03 hours <br />1.785714e-4 weeks <br />4.1094e-5 months <br /> (same day}.
At 0230 hours0.00266 days <br />0.0639 hours <br />3.80291e-4 weeks <br />8.7515e-5 months <br /> (same day} a controlled shutdown was initiated. At 0300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br /> (same day}, the NRC was notified of the initiation of the controlled shutdown, in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b} (i} (A}. At 0509 hours0.00589 days <br />0.141 hours <br />8.416005e-4 weeks <br />1.936745e-4 months <br /> (same day} the Unit was placed in MODE 3 (HOT STANDBY} and, at 1222 hours0.0141 days <br />0.339 hours <br />0.00202 weeks <br />4.64971e-4 months <br /> (same day} was placed in MODE 4 (HOT SHUTDOWN}, as required by TS 3.5.2.a.
ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:
In MODES 1 through 3, operability of two (2) independent Emergency Core Cooling Systems subsystems ensures sufficient emergency core cooling capability in the event of a Loss-Of-Coolant Accident assuming the loss of one subsystem through any active single failure consideration. Whenever a single CCP is unavailable, the redundant CCP will provide high head injection flow for the mitigation of any design base accident.
APPARENT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:
Upon measuring high vibration in the 21CCP speed increaser it was conservatively determined that the pump was inoperable from when it was previously removed from service on September 19. As such, there was insufficient time to restore the pump to Operable status prior to expiration of the action time constraints of TS 3.5.2.a.
Identification of the cause of the high vibration in the 21CCP speed increaser, Nuttal Gear Corp., Model No. SU-1023-8X, is pending results of root cause analysis by the vendor, with assistance from PSE&G. No problems were identified as contributory to this occurrence.
PREVIOUS OCCURRENCES:
Based upon review of documentation, the high vibration of 21CCP pump speed increaser, as presently understood, is an isolated occurrence.
LER 272/89-033-00, reported the inoperability 12CCP due to equipment failure of the pump speed increaser, attributed to inadequate Service Water System cooling flow through the speed increaser lube oil cooler. However, the cause of the inadequate flow could not be determined.
SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE:
This occurrence is reportable pursuant to the requirements of

During this occurrence 22CCP was available, if required, to provide high head injection flow for the mitigation of any design base accident.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
The 21CCP speed increaser was replaced, the pump was satisfactorily tested; and, at 2241 hours0.0259 days <br />0.623 hours <br />0.00371 weeks <br />8.527005e-4 months <br /> on September 25, 1994, the Action of TS 3.5.2.a was exited.
It is anticipated that by January 31, 1995 a supplement to this report will be submitted detailing the results of the root cause analysis of the 21CCP speed increaser high vibration.
