Title	Invalid Actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System
Event Description	This 60-day telephone notification is provided in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) to report an invalid actuation of the Unit 3 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A). On March 11,2013 at approximately 0043 [EDT], while starting the 3B Steam Generator Feed Pump (SGFP) for a one minute run, both trains of AFW started. Operators then manually closed the AFW flow control valves. AFW Trains 2 and 1 were restored to operable standby status at approximately 0112 [EDT] and 0117 [EDT], respectively. AFW actuation occurred because of a misunderstood procedure step and unnecessarily placed jumpers in AFW actuation logic in preparation for start of the 3B SGFP, which resulted in the invalid signal. At the time, the level in the steam generators was being maintained by the 3A Standby Steam Generator Feed Pump (SBSGFP). Because no actual loss of normal feedwater condition existed (with the 3A SBSGFP in service) which required AFW to start, and the start was not in response to actual plant conditions satisfying the requirements for actuation, this event is an invalid actuation. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
