During a steam generator tube rupture event at Palo Verde Unit 2 on March 14,1993 (NRC Inspection Report 50-279/93-14), a charging pump tripped off on lowsuction pressure when the operators switched the charging pump suction sourcefrom the volume control tank to the refueling water tank. During thesubsequent evaluation of the event, the licensee determined that four pumps,three charging pumps and a boric acid makeup pump, were all taking suctionthrough the same 7.6-cm [3-in.] diameter pipe. The licensee also determinedthat the high rate of flow through the suction pipe that resulted from thesimultaneous operation of all four pumps caused a sufficient pressurereduction at the suction of the pumps to lower this pressure below the lowsuction trip setpoints of the charging pumps.Two charging pumps were already running when the tube rupture occurred. Inaddition, the operators were running a boric acid pump to circulate therefueling water through filters to purify it for an upcoming outage; Theboric acid pump flow was being recirculated back to the refueling water tankand did not contribute to the makeup water going into the reactor coolantsystem. The operators started the third charging pump early in the event inan effort to restore the pressurizer level, which was decreasing because ofthe tube rupture. At that time all of the charging pumps were taking suctionfrom the volume control tank, which is the normal source of makeup water forthe reactor coolant system. Approximately 30 minutes later, in accordancewith emergency procedures, the operators opened the suction valve from the9404060036 po-rXE qq-D29 qqoqIn TkId9L III IN 94-29-V April 11, 1994 refueling water tank and then closed the suction valve from the volume controltank.At this point one of the charging pumps tripped off.

I.' 4 AUNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONOFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATIONWASHINGTON, D.C. 20555April 11, 1994NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 94-29: CHARGING PUMP TRIP DURING A LOSS-OF-COOLANTEVENT CAUSED BY LOW SUCTION PRESSURE

Addressees

All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for pressurized-water reactors.

Purpose

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this informationnotice to alert addressees to the possibility of a charging pump trip causedby inadequate suction pressure because too many pumps may be aligned to asingle suction path during accident mitigation. It is expected thatrecipients will review the information for applicability to their facilitiesand consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However,suggestions contained in this information notice are not NRC requirements;therefore, no specific action or written response is required.

Description of Circumstances

During a steam generator tube rupture event at Palo Verde Unit 2 on March 14,1993 (NRC Inspection Report 50-279/93-14), a charging pump tripped off on lowsuction pressure when the operators switched the charging pump suction sourcefrom the volume control tank to the refueling water tank. During thesubsequent evaluation of the event, the licensee determined that four pumps,three charging pumps and a boric acid makeup pump, were all taking suctionthrough the same 7.6-cm [3-in.] diameter pipe. The licensee also determinedthat the high rate of flow through the suction pipe that resulted from thesimultaneous operation of all four pumps caused a sufficient pressurereduction at the suction of the pumps to lower this pressure below the lowsuction trip setpoints of the charging pumps.Two charging pumps were already running when the tube rupture occurred. Inaddition, the operators were running a boric acid pump to circulate therefueling water through filters to purify it for an upcoming outage; Theboric acid pump flow was being recirculated back to the refueling water tankand did not contribute to the makeup water going into the reactor coolantsystem. The operators started the third charging pump early in the event inan effort to restore the pressurizer level, which was decreasing because ofthe tube rupture. At that time all of the charging pumps were taking suctionfrom the volume control tank, which is the normal source of makeup water forthe reactor coolant system. Approximately 30 minutes later, in accordancewith emergency procedures, the operators opened the suction valve from the9404060036 po-rXE qq-D29 qqoqIn TkId9L III

IN 94-29-V April 11, 1994 refueling water tank and then closed the suction valve from the volume controltank.At this point one of the charging pumps tripped off. The operators were ableto restore the tripped charging pump to operation by realigning the suction ofthe charging pumps to other suction paths from the refueling water tank.DiscussionFollowing this event the licensee calculated that, with the boric acid pumprunning, the remaining flow capacity of the refueling water tank suctionsource that was in use was Just sufficient for two charging pumps. With allfour pumps running the suction pressure was below the low suction trip setpoints (81.0 kPa to 87.2 kPa [11.75 psia to 12.65 psia]) for the chargingpumps. Because the trip set points are set at slightly different pressures,only one pump tripped. Once this first pump tripped, the resulting rise insuction pressure allowed the remaining pumps to keep running.The licensee concluded that, if recirculation by the boric acid pump is not inprogress, sufficient suction pressure exists for all three charging-pumps.Consequently, the licensee revised the emergency procedures that involve thecharging pumps to specify that any ongoing recirculation of the refuelingwater by the boric acid pump is to be terminated when refueling water isneeded for emergency makeup.Licensees of pressurized-water reactors use the charging systems in a numberof ways for accident mitigation, such as including the charging system as apart of the automatic safety injection system. Charging systems are also usedas a source of pressurizer spray to depressurize the reactor when the reactorcoolant pumps are shut down. Emergency operating procedures often refer tothe charging systems for other uses as well.Some licensees do not isolate the volume control tank (or its equivalent) whenthe charging system source is switched to the refueling water tank (or itsequivalent), but depend on the static pressure in the refueling water tank tokeep the volume control tank from draining. Should the volume control tankempty in response to lower-than-expected suction pressure, hydrogen cover gasnormally contained in this tank could enter the charging system suction andcause the pumps to malfunction.
