| Title | Invalid Actuation of Division 1 Primary Containment Isolation Due to Loss of a Rps Bus |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the licensee via facsimile:
On May 22, 2004, at approximately 4:29 am EDT, while the plant was operating at 100% power, the normal power supply to the Division 1 Reactor Protection System (RPS) bus was lost. This caused the actuation of the Division 1 primary containment isolation logic circuit. This was an event that resulted in the actuation of a general containment isolation signal affecting more than one system. However, as this event meets the definition of an invalid actuation (i.e., not a response to an actual plant parameter exceeding a trip setpoint), this notification is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.73(a)(1) in lieu of a Licensee Event Report. Operators implemented the applicable response procedures, and shifted Division 1 RPS to its alternate power supply. The containment isolation signal was reset, and systems were restored to normal alignment. Reactor power was not affected by this event. All safety related equipment controlled by the affected circuits responded to the loss of Division 1 RPS as required, with one exception. The Division 1 control building emergency filtration train should have automatically initiated, but did not. Subsequent troubleshooting discovered a failed relay in its control circuitry. This defect would not have prevented the Division 2 control building emergency filtration train from performing its safety function. It was determined that a relay coil in the control circuitry for the Division 1 RPS motor-generator set failed. This caused the main output contactor on the MG set to open, interrupting power to the bus. Repairs were completed on June 3, 2004, and the Division 1 RPS bus was then shifted back to its normal power supply. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector of this notification. |
