Title | Manual Reactor Scram Following Loss of Recirculation Pumps |
Event Description | Limerick Unit 1 was manually scrammed from 100% power at 0753 hours0.00872 days <br />0.209 hours <br />0.00125 weeks <br />2.865165e-4 months <br /> on 4/19/12 in accordance with plant procedure OT-112 'Recirculation Pump Trip' when both 1A and 1B Recirculation Pump Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) tripped due to an electrical fault affecting the 144D and 114A non-safety related 480V Load Centers. The shutdown was normal and the plant is stable in Hot Shutdown with normal pressure control via the Main Steam Bypass valves to the main condenser and normal level control using feedwater. The manual RPS actuation is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2).
The Technical Support Center (TSC) Normal Air conditioning systems shut down due to loss of power from the 144D Load Center. The loss of power also affects the flow indication for the Emergency Ventilation system. This is considered a Loss of Emergency Assessment Capability, and reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The Emergency TSC Ventilation system is available but flow cannot be verified. During a required activation the TSC, responders would report to the TSC. If conditions required use of the Emergency Ventilation system, the Station Emergency Director would assess habitability in accordance with Station procedures. TSC relocation of personnel would be directed as required until such time that the TSC ventilation system is returned to service The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
The Technical Support Center (TSC) 144D load center has been re-energized, restoring the emergency ventilation flow indication and emergency assessment capability to its normal stand-by condition." The switchgear was inspected for any potential grounds and then reenergized at approximately 0800 EDT on 4/20/2023. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R1DO (Joustra). |
