An investigation followed that discovered an incorrect governor valve linkage setup. Following corrective maintenance, surveillance testing requirements were met and the TDAFP was restored to operable status on December 23, 2017. An evaluation was completed and determined that the incorrect governor valve linkage setup condition that affected pump operating speed was introduced during a previous maintenance activity.
As a result, the TDAFP was considered inoperable longer than allowed by Technical Specifications (TS) during a period from November 25, 2017, until December 23, 2017. rrhe cause of the incorrect governor valve linkage setup that prevented the TDAFP from reaching the required operating speed was due to insufficient guidance within applicable maintenance procedures.
Corrective actions include revising the applicable maintenance procedures to ensure that future governor linkage maintenance activities result in the pump meeting all required acceptance criteria.
lfhis event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B),
as an Operation or Condition Prohibited by Technical Specifications.

LERNUMBER SEQUENTIAL NUMBER -001 REV NO. -00 During the Unit 1 Cycle 28 (U1C28) refueling outage, preventative maintenance (PM) was performed on the Unit 1 Turbine Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump Governor Valve [BA][SCV],
to inspect the valve internals and linkage.
The governor valve was reassembled on October 13, 2017: -* On November 25, 2017, during preparations to complete the U1C28 refueling outage, Unit 1 was operating in Mode 3 Hot Standby conditions.
The Unit 1 Turbine Drive Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (TDAFP) [BA][P] had passed surveillance testing and met the requirements of Unit 1 Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition For Operation (LCO) 3.7.5 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System and was considered operable.
The U1C28 refueling outage was completed on November 28, 2017. On December 21, 2017, Unit 1 was operating in Mode 1 at 100 percent power. Scheduled surveillance testing of the Unit 1 TDAFP was performed.
When the Unit 1 TDAFP was started, the operating speed was observed to rise slowly to approximately 3500 RPM, which is less than the required operating band of 4330 RPM to 4370 RPM. At approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes of operation, the pump speed was observed to be operating at approximately 4000 RPM and the U1 TDAFP speed was unable to be increased further to be within the required operating band. The Unit 1 TDAFP was declared inoperable in accordance with TS LCO 3. 7.5 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System Condition B, "One AFW train inoperable in MODE 1, 2, or 3 for reasons other than Condition A" on December 21, 2017, at 2201. A Failure Investigation Process was convened.
On December 23; 2017, Maintenance staff determined that the valve linkage was incorrectly set which prevented the governor valve from having full travel capability.
Maintenance staff performed adjustments to the valve linkage assembly to allow full travel . of the governor valve. The Unit 1 TDAFP was restarted and the pump operating speed was adjusted within the required operating band. Operations staff completed surveillance testing of the U 1 TDAFP and all acceptance criteria were met. On December 23, 2017, at 1949, Operations staff declared the Unit 1 TDAFP operable and exited TS LCO 3.7.5 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) System, Condition B. EVENT ANALYSIS The apparent cause of the Unit 1 TDAFP failure to reach rated speed was due to the governor valve linkage being incorrectly setup during a previous maintenance activity which prevented the governor valve from having full travel capability and to fully open. A higher steam supply pressure was available to the pump turbine in Mode 3 conditions during the U1 C28 refueling outage which allowed the Unit 1 TDAFP to reach the required operating speed and pass surveillance testing requirements.
On December 21, 2017, in Mode 1 operating conditions, a lower steam supply pressure to the pump turbine and the inability of the governor valve to fully open resulted in not achieving the required operating speed and pass surveillance test requirements.
ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY CONSEQUENCES NUCLEAR SAFETY The failure of the Unit 1 TDAFP to achieve rated speed could impact the ability of the pump to provide adequate feedwater flow to cool the Unit down to Mode 4 conditions, as required by Technical Specifications.
The Unit 1 TDAFP was declared inoperable and corrective maintenance was completed within the requirements of Unit.1 Technical Specifications LCO 3. 7.5 Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) Condition B. No actual events occurred during the period of inoperability that relied on the safety function to be fulfilled.

: 1. FACILITY NAME 2. DOCKET NUMBER YEAR Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 05000-315 2017 3. LER NUMBER SEQUENTIAL NUMBER -001 REV NO. -00 The AFW System is a system that automatically supplies feedwater to the steam generators to remove decay heat from the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) when the main feedwater supply is not available.
The AFW System is capable of supplying feedwater to the steam generators during normal unit startup,
: shutdown, and hot standby conditions.
The AFW system consists of two motor driven AFW pumps and one steam turbine driven pump configured into three trains. Each motor driven AFW pump is powered from an independent Class 1 E power supply and feeds two steam generators.
The steam turbine driven AFW pump receives steam from two main steam lines upstream of the steam generator stop valves (SGSVs).
Each of the steam feed lines will supply 100% of the requirements of the turbine driven AFWpump.
The other two trains of Unit 1 AFW pumps were available during the period of time after the Unit 1 TDAFP was considered inoperable on November 25, 2017. The extent of condition was limited to the Unit 2 TDAFP. A review of past surveillance testing and operation was completed for the Unit 2 TDAFP and did not reveal similar operating speed or pump performance issues. INDUSTRIAL SAFETY There was no actual impact or potential industrial safety hazard resulting from this event. RADIOLOGICAL SAFETY There was no actual or potential radiological safety hazard resulting from this event. PROBABLISTIC RISK ASSESSEMENT (PRA) The Unit 1 TDAFP would have met some, but not all, of the PRA success criteria for AFW. Primary accident assumptions in PRA do not always require the plant to cooldown to Residual Heat Removal (RHR) entry conditions.
In many cases, a stable condition is achieved in Mode 3, or, high pressure injection Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) is available to provide core cooling in high pressure recirculation mode. In some cases, AFW is required to cooldown the Unit to below the RHR pump shutoff head, if high pressure ECCS is not available.
For this limited set of conditions, the U 1 TDAFP was considered unavailable.
Additional analysis was completed to provide risk information involving the U1 TDAFP in an under speed condition during the time period of inoperability.
The risk information is used to help determine the significance of the event. The risk analysis was performed assuming that the Unit 1 TDAFP could provide adequate core cooling in Mode 3 (Hot Standby),
but would not be able to provide sufficient feedwater flow to cool the plant to Mode 4 (Hot Shutdown),
in the event depressurization and cooldown were needed to meet PRA success criteria.
These assumptions are consistent with the past operability assessment of the Unit 1 TDAFP's capability for this condition.
The results of the risk calculation were characterized as "Very Low Safety Significance''
for the duration of the condition.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
Corrective maintenance was performed that replaced the U1 TDAFP governor and adjusted the governor valve linkage to obtain the required_pump operating speed. NRC FORM 366A (04-2017)

PREVIOUS SIMILAR EVENTS: On February 2, 2017, the Unit 2 TDAFP did not reach the required pump operating speed during scheduled*surveillance testing.
: However, the apparent cause of the Unit 2 TDAFP failing to immediately reach rated speed was due to a different cause, an
