| Title | Manual Reactor Trip Due to Loss of "a" Condensate Pump. |
| Event Description | At 3:51 PM EDT, on August 17, 2003, with the reactor at 100% in Mode 1, the reactor was manually tripped in response to a trip of the A condensate pump and subsequent trip of the A main feed pump. Both motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump started automatically due to Lo-Lo steam generator level. The operations crew responded to the event in accordance with the applicable plant procedures. The plant was stabilized at a normal operating no-load Reactor Coolant System (RCS) temperature and pressure following the reactor trip. The condensate pump electrical supply breaker tripped due to instantaneous overcurrent, possibly related to a severe electrical storm in the area at the time. The feed pump tripped due to the loss of the condensate pump. Offsite power remained available throughout the transient. A local fire department responded to a downed power line in the vicinity of the Harris plant but the response was not related to any onsite activities.
This condition is being reported as actuation of the reactor protection system and AFW in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), and 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). 10CFR50.72 requires an 8-hour report for "Any condition that results in valid actuation of any of the systems listed in paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B) of this section except when the actuation results from and is part of a pre-planned sequence during testing or reactor operation." In this case, the AFW pumps start signal was due to Lo-Lo Steam Generator Level. A root cause team is being formed to identify the cause and corrective actions Due to low decay heat in the core, the Main Steam Isolation Valves were closed and the Steam Generator PORVs are being used to maintain the plant in a Hot Standby condition. No known leaking steam generator tubes are known. Both motor-driven and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pumps were secured after main feedwater was returned to service. All Emergency Core Cooling Systems and the Emergency Diesel Generators are fully operable if needed. The electrical grid is stable. The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee. |
