| Title | Unit 2 Experienced an Automatic Reactor Trip Following the Loss of the "2B2" Reactor Coolant Pump |
| Event Description | At 1335 EDT the Unit 2 Reactor tripped from 100% power on a Flux/Flow/Imbalance on two (2) RPS Channels "A" and "D." The initiating event was the trip of the "2B2" Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) for unknown reasons. I & E Techs were working in the RCP Monitoring Cabinets at the time. Immediately following the RCP trip, Unit 2 commenced a runback as expected for approximately six (6) seconds before the RPS actuation occurred. All rods fully inserted with an anomaly noted for CRD [Control Rod Drive] Group 3 Rod 7 API [Absolute Position Indication] indicating approximately 21%, however, the PI [Position Indicating] Panel light was on. The licensee suspects that the problem is related to a reed switch for the API indication and not the actual rod position. Shutdown Margin has confirmed that the Reactor is subcritical. The Pressurizer Code Safeties and PORV did not lift during the transient.
Unit 2 is currently stable in Mode 3 discharging steam to the Main Condenser via the Turbine Bypass Valves using Main Feedwater for steam generator level control. Offsite power is available and stable. This event did not impact Units 1 or 3. RCP "2B2" will remain secured until the cause of the trip is identified and corrected. There is no known primary to secondary leakage for Unit 2. The licensee has completed EOP (Emergency Operating Procedure) subsequent actions. The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. |
