The wiring for the TDAFWP speed control was returned to the required configuration and surveillance testing was performed which verified the operability of the TDAFWP.

The wiring configuration for this circuit will be reconciled between field wiring and plant drawings for both FNP units and applicable drawing change requests will be submitted by August 15, 2004.

Additional Information

The following LER has been submitted in the past two years concerning poor work practices, configuration control, or procedure adherence:

LER 2002-003-00, Unit 1, Condensate Storage Tank piping Missile Barrier not in place.

Coincident with this event, on April 9, 2004, at 1810, the 2A Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump (MDAFWP) was also declared inoperable due to a tripped breaker for the pump room cooler fan. The fan breaker starter coil was found shorted and replaced. The fan motor was successfully started, and the MDAFWP LCO was cleared at 0610 on April 10, 2004. Technical Specification 3.7.5, Required Action C.2 for two inoperable AFW trains, requires that the unit be placed in Mode 4 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if at least one AFW train is not returned to operable status. The MDAFWP was returned to service within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. Therefore, the Completion Time of Required Action C.2 was not exceeded.
