| Title | Criticality Warning System Alarm Actuation Due to Power Fluctuation |
| Event Description | At approximately 0740 on 3/30/2007, a segment of the inside Criticality Warning System (CWS) covering the Fuel Manufacturing Operation (FMO) failed due to an apparent voltage fluctuation in the power supply to the system. The fluctuation resulted in activation of the CWS evacuation alarm.
All personnel promptly evacuated the facility and the emergency organization assembled in accordance with normal procedures. A total of 5 out of 6 FMO CWS Data Acquisition Modules (DAMS) were affected by apparent power supply fluctuation. Two additional DAMS, which are independent, continued to provide coverage of the Dry Conversion Process (DCP) process areas. The Emergency Director determined that the processes should stay shut down and all personnel not engaged in troubleshooting or recovery actions remain out of the area while investigations and additional testing was conducted. Follow-up tests replaced select hardware, and installed additional power supply monitoring equipment to aid diagnostics. All DAMS have been successfully reset and the inside FMO CWS system returned to normal operation. Current plans are to resume normal operations beginning with the 1500 (evening) shift. The event is being reported within 24-hours pursuant to 10CFR70.50(b)(2) as a safety equipment failure. The licensee will also be providing a courtesy notification to the North Carolina Department of Radiological Protection and the New Hanover County Emergency Management organization. |
