| Title | Technical Specification Required Shutdown Due to Dropped Control Element Assembly |
| Event Description | On November 6, 2014 at 1116 Mountain Standard Time (MST), Control Element Assembly (CEA) 15 dropped fully into the core while all other CEAs remained fully withdrawn. Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.1.5 Condition A was entered for one CEA misaligned from its group which requires restoration of the CEA within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. An initial power reduction was performed upon receipt of the deviation in accordance with technical specifications. The CEA could not be aligned within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> and LCO 3.1.5 Condition C was entered at 1316 MST which requires entry into Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. Power reduction continues as necessary to comply with technical specifications.
No major equipment was inoperable prior to the event that contributed to the event. No emergency classification was required per the Emergency Plan. No automatic essential safety feature actuations occurred and none were required. The Emergency Diesel Generators did not start and were not required. Safety related buses remain energized. The offsite power grid is stable. Other LCOs were entered as required by technical specifications. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
Efforts to repair the CEA control system and realign CEA 15 with the other CEAs in its regulating group were unsuccessful. Shutdown of Unit 2 was completed at 1636 [MST] in accordance with normal operating procedures to comply with the shutdown requirements of LCO 3.1.5 Condition C. Unit 2 is currently stable in Mode 3 with the reactor coolant system at normal operating temperature and pressure. All equipment responded as expected with the exception of steam generator # 2 economizer feedwater regulating valve which remained 3 percent open. The economizer feedwater isolation valves to both steam generators were manually closed to isolate the economizer feedwater flow paths. The event did not result in any challenges to fission product barriers and there were no adverse safety consequences as a result of this event. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed of the Unit 2 shutdown. Notified R4DO (Miller) |
