| Title | Alert Declared Due to Reactor Protection System Failure |
| Event Description | At 1618 EDT on 08/28/03, an Alert was declared at Sequoyah Unit 1 due to a failure of the Reactor Protection System (RPS) to auto-trip the reactor following a turbine trip. Turbine oil trip testing was in progress when at 1604, the main turbine tripped. The reactor trip breakers were opened by manual operator action approximately 20 seconds after the valid reactor trip signal. Following the trip, all systems operated as required. The main steam isolation valves were manually closed based on indication of steam flow and a throttled steam dump valve. No primary system or steam generator safety valves opened. The unit is currently stable with temperature controlled using atmospheric relief valves. The Auxiliary Feedwater System received an auto-start signal and successfully operated. All control rods were fully inserted into the core. There was no release of radioactive material.
The licensee has initiated an investigation into the cause of the incident. The NRC Resident Inspector and the State of Tennessee were notified by the licensee. The NRC notified FEMA (Steiner), DOE (Morroni), USDA (Beers-Block), HHS (Williams), DHS (Glick), and DOT/EPA/NRC (Threatt). The NRC entered monitoring phase of normal mode with Region 2 in the lead at 1735 EDT.
At 2030 EDT on 08/28/03, the licensee terminated the Alert at Sequoyah Unit 1. The reactor is stable and in Mode 3, Hot Standby. This termination is based upon containment integrity, Emergency Core Cooling System and Engineered Safety Features operability, availability of heat sink, onsite and offsite electrical system and Emergency Diesel Generator operability, radiation monitor operability, availability of technical support personnel, and activation of a forced outage recovery team. Reactor coolant samples were taken, which showed no increase in activity. The NRC notified FEMA (Austin), DOE (Morroni), USDA (Beers-Block), HHS (Hogan), DHS (Van Buskirk), and DOT/EPA/NRC (White). The NRC exited monitoring phase of normal mode at 2045 EDT. |

All Safety Systems Responded Normally and the Plant Is Currently Stable in Mode 3 (Hot Standby) at Normal Operating Temperature and Pressure. Preliminary Indications Are That the Unit Trip Was Caused by a High Neutron Flux Rate Detected by the Power Range Nuclear Instruments. Troubleshooting and Investigation Are Ongoing to Determine the Initiating Cause.
