On May              18, 1992 at approximately 1339 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, Main Feedwater Isolations occurred on the "A" Steam Generator (S/G). These feedwater isolations were caused by overfeeding the "A" S/G while in manual control, following a secondary system pressure transient.
Immediate operator action was to manually control the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRV) to reduce the steam generator water levels and stabilize the plant.
The immediate cause of the event is due to                                                                          a          secondary                    system pressure transient.
Corrective actions taken or planned are discussed in Section                                                                                                    V    of the text.

I ~        PRE EVENT PLANT CONDITIONS The      plant        was at approximately 974 steady state power with        no major activities in progress.                                 Instrument and Control (I&C) Department personnel were investigating the Advanced Digital Feedwater Control System (ADFCS) due to some          feedwater oscillations that had occurred at approximately 1110 EDST, May 18, 1992. These feedwater oscillations were being caused by the "A" and "B" Steam Generator (S/G) Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRVs) cycling (between 43% and 484), at twice their normal frequency and in opposite phase from each other. This feedwater                response      (instability while in                          automatic control)             was new and unexpected                by the operators.

B~        EVENT:
On May            18, 1992, at approximately 1337 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, a secondary              side condensate                      system          decreasing pressure            transient occurred.                            This pressure decrease traveled throughout the entire secondary side and was reflected as low feedwater              header          pressure            and        corresponding decrease in differential pressure across both FRVs.
The ADFCS responded to the low feedwater header pressure by increasing the open demand signal to the main FRVs in order to maintain the proper feedwater flow. At,:::Mhi.'s'g~)::;same@~t"ime$                              >.:;,":,::.:,:fh'e"';:;,:",:;'.2!C1>:
observing that the main FRVs open demand signals were higher than normal and increasing, and that feedwater            flow to the "BL( S/G was higher than appropriate, took manual control of the Main FRVs to prevent further opening of the valves.
Eo'eaai>>'" eiahea'e'"'i.,::aP'z4~ss        ii'aa".:)'he Control        Room      operators manually restored S/G levels to normal,                   and at approximately 1342 EDST restored the "A"                    and "B" Main FRVs to automatic control.

ED        METHOD OF DISCOVERY:
The event was immediately apparent due                                      to alarms and indications in the Control Room.
OPERATOR ACTION:
The        Control Room operators took immediate manual actions to control S/G levels and stabilize the plant. Subsequently, the Control Room operators notified higher supervision and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission per 10 CFR 50.72, Non-Emergency,         4  hour    Notification.
Ge        SAFETY SYSTEM RESPONSES:
The "A" S/G Main FRV began                        to close automatically as a result of the feedwater                      isolation signal. Due to the short duration that the signal was present, the valve never              fully closed.
IIZ      ~   CAUSE OF EVENT Ae          IMMEDIATE CAUSE:
The feedwater isolation signal to the "A" S/G Main FRV was due to the "A" S/G narrow range level being
                                                    >/=        67%.

The feedwater isolation of the "A" S/G was an automatic actuation of an ESF system.
An assessment was performed considering both the safety consequences                    and implications of this event with the following results and conclusions:
There were no operational or safety consequences                                                          or implications attributed to the feedwater isolations because:
o          The          feedwater isolation signals occurred at the required S/G level.
o          The plant was quickly stabilized and manual control of FRVs was accomplished to mitigate any consequences of the event.
o          As the feedwater isolation signals occurred as designed, the assumptions of the FSAR for steam line break              were met.

0                Short Term Response:
a)            I&C technicians loosened and lubricated the actuator to stem connection block for the "8" FRV.
b)            Operations was directed to place the Main FRV bypass valves in full open position and in automatic control, to reduce the feedwater control instability problem.
c)            The packing on both FRVs was relaxed to minimum torque, to reduce any potential friction of the valve stem.
0                Intermediate Term Response:
a)            Westinghouse has evaluated ADFCS "tuning constants" and has supplied new ADFCS gain values, in an attempt to reduce the ADFCS                    impact on feedwater                                    control instability problems.
b)            The                new      ADFCS              gain values have been installed                        in            the ADFCS software.
Instability problems have not been eliminated as a result of these new gain values.

On May 18, 1992 at approximately 1339 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, Main Feedwater Isolations occurred on the "A" Steam Generator (S/G). These feedwater isolations were caused by overfeeding the "A" S/G while in manual control, following a secondary system pressure transient.

Immediate operator action was to manually control the Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRV) to reduce the steam generator water levels and stabilize the plant.

The immediate cause of the event is due to a secondary system pressure transient.

Corrective actions taken or planned are discussed in Section V of the text.

I ~ PRE EVENT PLANT CONDITIONS The plant was at approximately 974 steady state power with no major activities in progress. Instrument and Control (I&C) Department personnel were investigating the Advanced Digital Feedwater Control System (ADFCS) due to some feedwater oscillations that had occurred at approximately 1110 EDST, May 18, 1992. These feedwater oscillations were being caused by the "A" and "B" Steam Generator (S/G) Main Feedwater Regulating Valves (FRVs) cycling (between 43% and 484), at twice their normal frequency and in opposite phase from each other. This feedwater response (instability while in automatic control) was new and unexpected by the operators.

B~ EVENT:

On May 18, 1992, at approximately 1337 EDST, with the Reactor at approximately 974 full power, a secondary side condensate system decreasing pressure transient occurred. This pressure decrease traveled throughout the entire secondary side and was reflected as low feedwater header pressure and corresponding decrease in differential pressure across both FRVs.

The ADFCS responded to the low feedwater header pressure by increasing the open demand signal to the main FRVs in order to maintain the proper feedwater flow. At,:::Mhi.'s'g~)::;same@~t"ime$ >.:;,":,::.:,:fh'e"';:;,:",:;'.2!C1>:

The feedwater isolation of the "A" S/G was an automatic actuation of an ESF system.

An assessment was performed considering both the safety consequences and implications of this event with the following results and conclusions:

There were no operational or safety consequences or implications attributed to the feedwater isolations because:

o The feedwater isolation signals occurred at the required S/G level.

o The plant was quickly stabilized and manual control of FRVs was accomplished to mitigate any consequences of the event.

o As the feedwater isolation signals occurred as designed, the assumptions of the FSAR for steam line break were met.

Based on the above, health it and safety was assured at can be concluded that the all times.

0 Short Term Response:

a) I&C technicians loosened and lubricated the actuator to stem connection block for the "8" FRV.

b) Operations was directed to place the Main FRV bypass valves in full open position and in automatic control, to reduce the feedwater control instability problem.

c) The packing on both FRVs was relaxed to minimum torque, to reduce any potential friction of the valve stem.

0 Intermediate Term Response:

a) Westinghouse has evaluated ADFCS "tuning constants" and has supplied new ADFCS gain values, in an attempt to reduce the ADFCS impact on feedwater control instability problems.

b) The new ADFCS gain values have been installed in the ADFCS software.

Instability problems have not been eliminated as a result of these new gain values.
