  1. 1 CLASSROOM REQUIREMENTS:
  • NOTES Handout 4f 1 R-=1()1RAOP:6 I. Pref ace On the morning of February 25, 1983 a transient occurred on Unit #J during the start-up phase after the refueling.

This transient fell under the category known as "Anticipated Transient Without a Scram" or "Anticipated Transient Without a Trip". In 1969, a question was raised concerning the effects of anticipated transients without a reactor trip. Initially, it was believed by the AEC that this was a very low probability event; until the AEC staff took a closer look to find that there were,.....

.. Thus, they concluded that the combined probability of anticipated transients ana*a common mode failure could be such that a safety problem did really exist. On Aug. 19, 1981, a Mr. Steitler put together a brief overall package concerning this matter. Handout #1 contains a few pages of his discussion.

WOG/ERG Ao As stated previoudsly, Condition II events are classified under 15 types of events covering events such as: c Uncontrolled Rod group withdrawal from subcritical Rx 0 Uncontrolled Rod group withdrawal from power 0 start-up of inactive loop G} Blackout Loss of normal f eedwater Because of the numerous types of events, the response of the primary initially may be quite different; however, the operator response is the same once he identifies an ATWT has occurred.

Additionally, the response of primary would be different for the same event, depending on when in core life it occurs; especially since the value of MTC changes throughout the fuel cycle. -For the worst cases, addressed as long as a reactor trip is generated within 10 minutes, a turbine trip within 30 seconds (for loss of MFW); aux. F.W. established within 60 seconds, acceptable consequences will result. B. The one ATWT that causes the highest RCS pressure excursion is a main turbine trip from 100% due to loss of vacuum which additionally causes a loss of MFW. RCS Pressure Transient Pressurizer relief valve lifts in 5 sec.; S-G safeties lift in 11 sec., which corresponds to the 1st peak in pressurizer pressure.

I \, ECA-1 4256B:l BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR WESTINGHOUSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE GUIDELINES ECA-1 ANTICIPATED TRANSIENT WITHOUT SCRAM BASIC REVISION SEPTEMBER 1, 1981 *. !

  • . ( ( I o INTRODUCTION The guideline ECA-1, "Anticipateo Transient Without SCRAM 11 ifies the mitigating actions required ATWS events -a family of Condition II accidents requiring a reactor trip but, through some failure in the protection system, the trip is not obtainedo The reactor coolant system conditions at the time the operator an ATWS event can be very different depending on the initiating event. Loss of main feedwater, control bank withdrawal at power, and a spurious opening of a pressurizer PORV are examples of the differing nature of ATWS events. The required operator actions following identification of an ATWS event are the same but the reactor coolant system conaitions may be very different; pressure can exceed 2800 psia following a loss of main feedwater ATWS but will never exceed the nominal operating pressure following the spurious opening of a pressurizer PORV. Opera-. tors must be aware of such system responses ana not rely on any signals or indications other than those for reactor trip. Transient response is also highly dependent on the time in fuel cycle at which an ATWS occurs. Response is much more severe very early in cycle lifetime than later in the cycle. For primary pressure may exceed 3000 psia for a turbine trip ATWS at beginning of cycle life but not exceea 2575 psia (the pressurizer safety valve setpoint + tion) near the end of cycle life. This guideline only addresses the short-term operator actions. The operator must attempt alternate means of reactor trip and maintain a secondary-side heat sink via turbine trip {for a total loss of main feedwater) and auxiliary feedwater actuation.

Analyses have shown that if a reactor trip is generatea 10 a turbine trip within 30 seconds (for a loss of main feedwater), ana auxiliary feedwater ated w_ith in 60 seconds 1 acceptable consequences result. These times are for the limiting ATWS transients.

Tur*bi,1e trip and actuation of liary feedwater would normally be 1enerJteo by the reactor protection system b.ut it is assumed that the :.ame fault that prevents a reactor . trip also prevents these functions.

the guiaeline proviaes ECA-1 42568:1

  • for these functions to be performed without delay by the operator in the control room. Long-term coolaown to c61d shutdown conditions is not adaressed.

Plant coo1down in a controlled manner is to be performed utilizing normal procedures as much as possible.

II. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT TRANSIENT The ATWS transient analyses were performea using composite plant ters to bound as many Westinghouse plants as possible, rather than using parameters for any specific plant. Sensitivity stuaies were performeo for the limiting cases to demonstrate that the conclusions are valio for all plants covered by the generic approach.

The analyses consioereo 2-, 3-, and 4-loop plant configurations with 51 and 44 Series and Moael D and F steam generators.

The reference plant was defined to be a 4-loop, 51 Series steam generator plant. Though numerous ATWS events have been analyzed, this section will be devotee to a description of the loss of load transient only, since this is a limiting ATWS transient with respect to peak pressure.

For a more detailed treatment of this transient and descriptions of other ATWS transients, refer to the two ATWS reports listed in the Reference sec-tion (Section V) of this document.

For. loss of load without reactor* trip: A major loss of load could result from either a loss of external trica) load or from a turbine/generator trip. In either case, unless a loss of ac power to the station auxiliaries also occurs. off-site power would be available for the comninea operation of plant components, such as the reactor coolant pumps. In this case. the loss of loaa acciaent was analyzea assuming that the control roes fail to drop into the core following .a turbine trip from full power, which would prpduce the mum possible load loss. The most severe plant conuit"ions that coula result a loss of load occur following a turbine trip from full )

  • ( ' ( ( *
  • l *power when the turbine trip is causeo by a loss of condenser vacuum. Since the main feedwater pumps may be turbine driven viith steam exhaust to the main condenser, loss of feedwater may also result from a loss of condenser vacuum. Plant behavior was evaluateo for a turbine trip ana loss of main occurring from full power with the assumption that the control rods fail to drop into the core following generation of a reactor trip signal. This evaluation showed the effectiveness of RCS pressure-relief devices and the extent of any approach to core safety limits. The results are presented below for the reference plant only (4-loop, 51 Series steam generator plant). Figures l through 5 show the plant transient response for a loss of load without reactor trip for a 4-ldop plant with a 51 Series steam generator and a moderator temperature coefficient valid for 95 percent of core life (95 percent MIC). Sequence of events for this transient are shown in Table 1. The first peak in pressurizer pressure occurs when the steam generator safety valves lift, and the second, higher peak (maximum system pressure*

of 2974 psia) occurs after the pressurizer is filled with water oue to a coolant volume surge resuJting from a rapia reouc-t ion of steam generator heat transfer.

Nuclear power decreases to a value of 68 percent due to negative reactivity feeaback causea by ator (coolant) heating. Further coolant heatup, causeo by loss of steam generator heat transfer, decreases nuclear power further, starting at about 110 seconds. The DNB ratio does not drop below its initial value during the transient.

"* It should be noted that there is a difference between "pressurizer pressure" and "system pressure" as used here. When pressurizer pressure is given, it refers to the pressure in the pressurizer, whereas the system pressure is defined to be the pressure taken at the discharge of the reactor coolant pump, the maximum pressure in the coolant system. The system pressure oefinition inc*uaes pump head and elevation heao and be higher than pressure by as much as 100 psi. ECA-1 42568: 1 At ten minutes into the transient, conditions are stablized, with liary feedwater prbviding heat removal capability and with an intact Reactor Coolant System and core. Thus, the operator could begin down operations through roe insertion, actuation uf the safety injection system, or through the BORATE or EMERGENCY BORATE modes of the Chemical and Volume Control system. Transient results for 3-loop and 2-loop plants with 51 Series steam generators are similar to those presented for the 4-loop case. A peak reactor coolant system pressure of 2861 psia results for a 3-loop plant, and a peak pressure of 2753 psia results for a 2-loop plant conf igura-tion. The following conclusions have been drawn from this particular event -loss of load: During a loss of load with failure of roa insertion after a reactor trip signal generation, core safety limits are not exceeded since the DNB ratio does not go below its initial value and the peak reactor coolant pressure is limited to 2974 psia for the 4-loop, 51 Series reference case. Furthermore.

plant conditions are stabilizea at 10 minutes such that the operator can begin shutdown operations.

-reactor trip, turbine trip, and auxiliary feedwater actuation

-that must be performed without delay from the control room, org if this proves cessful, operators must be dispatchea to perform these actions locally. If the reactor is tripped, the operator is to leave this guideline and proceed to E-0, "Reactor Trip or Safety InJection," step 2. However, if the reactor cannot be tripped, a rapia boration of the RCS must be initiatea and continueo in oraer to establish adequate down margin. As a precautionary measure, containment ventilation must be isolated at this time. The final step of the recovery involves taining adequate shutdown margin once it is achieved.

A block aiagram description of steps in guideline ECA-1 is given in Figure 6 . ECA-1 42568:1

DISCUSSION OF SPECIFIC GUlUELlNE AND NOTES Step 1 Once an operator has diagnoseo an ATWS event using the ;noications 1isteo in the section, his first actions must be an to got* th* consequences in the quickest means possible, i.e., from the main control board. lhe note before this step alerts the operator that the first three steps are immediate actions to be performed without delay. In the control room, the op er a tor must f,i rs t attempt to trip the reactor by use of the manual trip buttons or, if necessary, by manually insert-; ng the c ont,ro l roos. If the trip is s ucces sf u l l y obtained, the A 11,s portion of the transient is terminated with the consequences then being no more severe than those of the initiating transient.

1he note instructs the operator to immediately proceea to guideline E-0, "Reactor . Trip or 5-af ety Inject ion," step 2 if, at any time during the conouct of the ATWS procedure, a reactor trip occurs. In guideline E-0, diagnosis of the initiating event is performed.

The operator should next attempt a turbine trip, if one has not tically occurred to maintain steam generator inventory.

A turbine trip is required for the loss of main feedwater ATWS. For the remaining ATWS events, with the exception of the case when a turbine trip is the ating event, manual tripping of the turbine will create an unanalyzed situation, superimposing a loss of load tyµe of event on the initiating ATWS transient.

This unanalyzed case may yield a somewhat higher system pressure depending on the initiating event and time in core life, The turbine can be tripped in the control room by the manual trip buttons, use of test s*itch, and turning off EH control oil *pumps.: If these method* fa i 1 , the opera tor shou 1 a at tempt to manua 11 Y run back the turbine. ECA-1 42568:1 Steps 2 and 3 The second component in maintaining a secondary side heat sink is the actuation of auxiliary feedwater.

lf the auxiliary feedwater system doesn't start automatically, the following actions should be performed from the control room: a. Manually start motor-driven AFW pumps; b. Manually open turbine-driven AFW pump steam supply valves; c. Manually open or close AFW valves as appropriate for proper valve alignment (observe valve status lights) d. Verify that the water supply to the suction of the pumps is available by observing CST level indication, absence of CST low level alarms and AFW suction pressure low alarm, ano aaequate pres-sure at the suction of the AFW pumps.

4. If any of the required functions in Step 1 have not been successfully achieved when attempted from the control room, an operator should be dispatched to perform the actions locally. The local actions are done after those from the control room since they are more time consuming; the control room actions can all be completea quickly without cant impact on the time of 16cal attempts should they be necessary.

Local reactor trip actions are perforrneo first since the sooner a trip is obtained tl1e less severe the AHJS transient wi 11 be r The reactor can be trtpped locally by opening all reactor trip breakers, de-energizing the MG .sets providing power to the rods, or other plant specific means of cutting power to the rods. Plant specific means may gizing buses that supply power to the MG sets, opening switches '.that supply power to the power cabinets, etc.

42568:1 i I

( ( \ ( 1. Local attempts for turbine trip and auxiliary feedwater actuation are needed to mainta'ln a secondary side heat sink. Analyses have -tal<en credit for il tllrbfoe trip sooner than auxi1 *i ary f.2ed*;1ater actuation so the 1oc'11 actfons ¢lre to be performed in that order. P1 ant specific &rveans for tripp'irig the turbine may include using the 1oca.1 trip lever, using local ovei"speed test equipment, locally securing EH pumps. venting EH system, closing the main steam1ine isolation valvesp etc. Step 5 Total auxiliary feedv1ater flow is required following

rr,1s events. Therefore, any of the actfons of steps 2 and 3 that cou1d not be form2d *in the control room shou1 d be done 1oca11y **io obtain fu11 ,!l.FW f1 (;';{. Step 6 The operator has progressed to this step only if a11 means of obtaining a reactor trip have failed. Negative reactivity must be added to the core through lxlrati on of the reactor cool ant system to bring the reactor subcritical.

The caution precedfr1g this step has been added for the protection of the charging pumps that are required for boration.

normal conditions, the charging pump shutoff head is greater than the RCS d;es *i gn pressure.

Howe'ler during an AHJS event RCS pressure can rise above the pump shutoff head and, therefore, the pLllTlp rniniflow valves must remain open in order to avoid dead-heading the pumps. ihe method of boration is a function of plant configuration and, hence, the boration flew path ttnst be aligned according to plant specific Methods of boration include injecting the BITP and injection actuation.

It should be that SI 4ctuation trip the main feedwateiA pLimps. If th*is is undesirab1eD the operator can manua11y align the system for safety injection.

However, the R\'IST valves to the of che Sl pumps shou1 d be opened first before up the BIT '\Jal ves. ECA-1 42568: 1

Due to a faulty limit switch on the APT bkr it prevented the closing coil from energizing, resulting in a de-energized bus. Most important load dropped was #13 RCP. Being < 36% power no auto Rx/Turbine occurred as is designed.

Another load lost was 14 MAC panel which dropped control power to #12 SGFP. Supervisor noticing #13 SG level dropping rapidly ordered that the unit be manually tripped. Other events took place during this transient; the one of concern at this particular point is when did the reactor actually trip? 000 => 21:56:35 1163 > 21:56:54.4 1163/60 = 19.4 sec. Rx trip should have occurred due to Lo-Lo level in #13 S/G 1381 => 21:56:58 1381/60 = 23 sec. Operator went to trip with W switch 1385 => 21:56:58.1 sec. 1385/60 = 23.08 Rx trip bks open This was initially not picked up due to other numerous events that had occurred due to dropping of a bus; swapover of the lB vital bus to the #12 SPT, acutation of S.I.; lifting of the PZR PORV 1 s; no spray flow, etc .

22. 1983 *, -I \ At February 229 Salem Unit 1 was synchronized and the.

loading in accordance with established Operations Department procedures.

At 20 3*reactcr powerv epprczimately 200 Mwe electrical load, procdure 5.34 of Hot Standby to.Minimum Load, required that the 4Kv Group Bus power supplies be transferred from the Station Power Tran sf armers to the a:ry Poo-1 er Transf orme:r. The 1G 4Kv.Group Bus was successfully transfered and at 2155 hours0.0249 days <br />0.599 hours <br />0.00356 weeks <br />8.199775e-4 months <br /> the operators attempted to transfer the 1F 4kv Group Bu5 to the Auxiliary Power Transformer.

Upon depressing the close push button for the Auxiliary Power Transformer infeed breaker. the Station Power Transformer infeed breaker openedv however, the infeed breaker from the Auiiliary Power Transformer failed to close. The failure of the Power Transformer to close cau.sed the 1F l\Kv Group Bus to deenergize.

The opening of the Station Power Transformer Breaker prior to the closure of the Auxiliary Power Transformer Breaker is in accordance with the power transfer design scheme.

  • Upon the less of pouer to the 1F 4Kv Group Bus all equipment powered from the bus was deenergized.

The most important equipment deenergized Ba5 13 Reactor Coolant Pump and 14 MAC 115 volt distribution panel. The control room lighting was also lost. However 9 this. did not present a problem as the emergency lighting provided sufficent light. There was no immediate Turbine/Reactor trip on loss of reactor coolant flow to the 13 reactor coolant loop because the Reactor Protection System allows single loop los5 of flow below 36 $ power. The loss of 14 MAC however, causect*12 Steam Generator Feed Pump to trip due to the loss of feed pump control The less of the feed pump interrupted the feedwater flow to all steam generators and 2team generat6r levels started to immediately decrease.

The operators noted that 13 Steam Generator level was decreasing rapidly due to the combined effects of the cf feedwater flow and the shrink in the steam generator due * -tO-.lo.&S" *or :reactor' cooL-:mt flO\tJ. In addi t.ion to the loss of the pUIDp, a significant amount of in:strument.ation lost po';Jer when 14 MAC panel*was de-energized.

This caused the instruments to fail to the mid-soale The supervisor in the control room at the time of incident ,..ealized that with the f'ate of clecrea_s_e-in 13 Steam Gen-erator level not be possible to bring the reactor to less than 10 power in a manner so he ordered the Unit to be manually tripped. At 2157 hours0.025 days <br />0.599 hours <br />0.00357 weeks <br />8.207385e-4 months <br />, simultaneously, with the j issuance of the order, the reactor was autcmaticly tripped by the ( eactor Protection on 13 Steam Generator LO-LO level. equipment functianad aa designed called upon by the Reactor Trip. The Reactor Trip/Turbine Trip set up the automatic transfer circuit for the buses to be tranafered from the Auxiliary PoBer Transformer to the *station Pohler Transformer.

The and 1E 4Kv Group were already 5upplied from the Station RoBnr Transformers as swapped over to the i.i.uxiJ.iary T:ransfarrner:.

1G Group Bus swapped over ES per design. The transfer scheme also provided a close signal to the Station PoBer infeed to the 1F 4Kv Group Bus, causing the breaker tc close and the bus to become re-energized.

The simultaneous etarting of all the connected loads on the 1F 4Kv Group Bus caused the 11 Station Power Transformer voltage to decrease.

The decrease in the transformer voltage sensed by the second level of undervoltage protection en the 1B 4Kv Vital Bus and the bus automatically sBapped over to 12 Station Power The locked rotor relay protection for 13 Reactor Coolant Pump operated shortly after the bus was reenergized due to the inability of the pump to start without the aid of the lift pump and the voltage condition on the At 2204 Bn automatic Safety Injection occured because the steam in *13 Stea!r.:l Generator

The cause of the steam pressure decreasing 100 psi was due to the combined effects cf the addition cf cold feedwater by the Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps which started automatically on response to the LO-LO level in 13 Steam Generator?

the cooling effect cause by the off of steam from the 11 and 13 Steam Generator by the turbine driven auxiliary

_feedwater the reduced circulation in the Reactor Coolant System due to the loss of 13 Reactor Coolant Pump and the fact that the MSIV's had been closed to control the decrease in Tave. The closure cf the NSIV 1 5 to limit the cooldown following a reactor trip is 5tandard practice early in core life when there is little or no decay heat available to maintain RCS temperature.

REACTOR TRIP FEBRUARY 25,1983 On Februrary 24,1983 Unit 1 was in the startup phase following a refueling outage. At approximately 1200 the turbine was taken off the line in order to complete the overspeed test. Following the successful completion of the test the unit was returned to power. At 0012 on February 25,1983 the generator was synchronized to the grid. Reactor power was approximately 14%. Problems were experienced controlling the level in No.12 Steam Generator and as a result the level decreased to below the Lo-Lo Level Trip Setpoint of 18%. A reactor trip signal was generated by the Reactor Protection System, however, the Reactor Trip Breakers failed to open. The operator, upon surveying*the controi _room indications as directed by Reactor Trip, observed there were no Rod Bottom Lights illuminated, the Individual Rod Position Indications still showed the control rods to be withdrawn and the turbine did not indicate it was tripped. Upon recognition of these facts, the operator concluded that the Reactor Trip had failed to initiate and manually initiated a trip utilizing the trip handle on the console. This ocurred approximately 24.8 seconds after the Reactor Trip .signaJ..

was gernerated, (see the attached s,,equence of events printout attached) and resulted in a reactor trip. All automatic functions associated with the reactor trip were then verified to have ocurred. (All control rods were fully inserted and the turbine tripped.)

The operator had concluded that a trip was warranted because the actual level indicated in No.12 Stearn Generator was below the trip setpoint of 18$ and all of the alarms associated with the Steam Generator levels. both on the console and the Overhead Alarms were illumiated.

Also, the Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps had started automatically.

These pumps start when the level in any Steam Generator decreases to less than 18%. As directed by the Emergency Plan Procedure EP-I-0 Part 2 Item 16, an Alert Classification was declared at 0130. All notifications were made in accordance with EP-1-2 1 Alert. The event was terminated at 0200. Attached are copies of the recorder charts for all four Steam Generator Levels, both narrow and wide range . 1 :._ ....

When the series coil is flo'iv-ing in *::he :Eor'1va.rc1 direction, Inovernent is pT2-vented by a stop. When the series coil current i;:; reversed, the armah .. u*e rotates in the opposite direction to trip t.l-ie b:teaker.

Calibration ment covers 5 a.nd 25 percent reverse current, based on noTrnaJ cru.Tent rating. P..:fter tripping the rev21se cu.-crent armat1-tL2 is reset by opening the potential coil circuit. For *t.i.'-iis pm-pose 2n "a" . cont-J.ct of the brea}z2E auxi1iary switch should be connected in with the potentiaJ coil.

.-------------------------------------------------------------------11' VI. I.E.Bulletin 83-01 t I I I l I o Addresses the problem of failure of rx trip breakers due to a sticking of the under voltage trip attachment.

0 0 Additionally it sites similar failures that have occured at other *plants (H.B. Robinson, Conn Yankee, St. Lucie and Prarie Island). Due to these problems I.E. bulletins, I.E. circulars and Westinghouse T2chnical Bulletins were generated.

Up to these previous failures had prevented a warranted rx trip because involved one of the 2 series breakers.

not 1. -'-only o The required actions for this I.E. bulletin are: l. Perform surveillance test of UV trip coil 2. Ensure maint. program with the W directive or freq. and lubrication of lhe trip mechanism

3. Review Provide written follow-up reply concerning actions performed.
