TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-79-120 DATE OF EVENT: October 23, 1979 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 J
IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Reactor Coolant Pump 1-1 seal failure Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 1, with Power (MRT) = 1925, and Load (Gross MWE) = 645.
Description of Occurrence: On October 23,1979 at 0100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br />, it was found by observing cavity pressure that the first and third shaf t seals in Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) 1-1-1 were not staging. As a precautionary measure, the reactor power was reduced to 70% and RCP l-1-1 was removed from service. This placed the unit in the Action Statement of Technical Specification 3.4.1 which requires the thermal power be reduced and the high flux and flux- /1 flux . flow trip setpoints be reduced to f!78.3% of rated thermal power. The flux- 6 flux-flow trip setpoint was reduced to 77.5% of rated power at 0519 hours0.00601 days <br />0.144 hours <br />8.581349e-4 weeks <br />1.974795e-4 months <br /> on October 23, 1979.
" Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence: On disassembly of the seal package, it was noted that the first stage seal faces were severely damaged, the second stage faces were cracked, and the third stage faces were not damaged. The middle pressure breakdown device tubing was found plugged with seal material which explains the observed low third stage cavity pressure. The failure can be attributed to the simultaneous loss of component cooling water and seal injection during the loss of offsite power incident on October 15,1979 (see Licensea Event Report NP-32-79-11) .
There was also some thermal shocking of the seals when the makeup pump section was changed over from the makeup tank to the Borated Water Storage Tank during the same trip.
Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to station personnel. The other three reactor coolant pumps were in operation providing adequate circulation at the reduced reactor power level.
Corrective Action: On October 26, 1979, the maintenance outage began to permit seal repairs. Under Maintenance Work Order- 79-3340, the seal package was Station refurbished and personnel reinstalled. The seals on the other three pumps were also rebuilt.
and Babcock and Wilcox are investigating possible methods to minimize thermal shocking.
Failure Data: This is the fif th time that seals have been replaced in RCP l-1-1.
