| Title | Auxiliary Feedwater System Inoperable |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
On November 07, 2023 at 1200 EST, it was discovered that all pumps in the Auxiliary Feedwater system were inoperable due to the loss of control power to the 'B' train Emergency Feedwater (EFW) flow control valve which supplies the 'D' steam generator. The redundant 'A' train EFW control valve for the 'D' steam generator remains functional, as well as the capability of the Auxiliary Feedwater system to supply all steam generators. This condition is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: The 'A' and 'B' EFW Flow Control Valves are arranged in a series configuration for each Steam Generator. Failure of any of the 8 EFW Flow Control Valves to meet its Surveillance Requirements will render all EFW Pumps inoperable per tech specs. |
