Title | Manual Reactor Trip at Reduced Power Due to Inadequate Feedwater Control |
Event Description | At approximately 0803 Central Standard Time (CST) on 3/9/2007, Callaway Plant received indications of a condenser tube leak. At approximately 0826 CST, a power reduction from 100 percent to less than 5 percent was initiated in accordance with the Secondary Water Chemistry Program. At 1043 CST, with the reactor at approximately 30 percent power, a manual reactor trip was initiated due to inadequate feedwater control to the C steam generator. There was indication of feedwater flow to and increasing level in the C steam generator with both the main feedwater reg valve and its bypass valve closed. Cause of the inadequate feedwater control is under investigation.
All safety systems functioned as designed with the exception of the digital rod position indication for control rod K10 which failed during the trip due to an existing problem. Control rod K10 is believed to be fully inserted, but is being treated as indeterminate at this time. Main feedwater isolation and motor-driven auxiliary feedwater actuations occurred as expected. Both trains of the emergency diesel generators and the offsite power supplies are available. Callaway plant is currently stable in Mode 3 at normal reactor coolant system parameters. This notification is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) for manual reactor trip (RPS actuation), 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) for offsite notification and 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) Specified System Actuation. The licensee informed the resident inspector of the event and will be making State notifications. A press release is expected.
Repairs were made to the Digital Rod Position Indication (DRPI) for control rod K10. The cause was determined to be a bent pin on a cable connector. When DRPI was restored, control rod K10 was verified to be fully inserted. Post maintenance testing was completed satisfactorily. The cause of the inadequate feedwater control for the C steam generator was a failure of the positioner for the C main feedwater reg valve. The positioner was replaced and tested satisfactory. The plant is currently in Mode 2 (Startup) The resident inspector was informed of the update. R4DO (Mike Shannon) notified. |
