| Title | Automatic Reactor Trip Caused by Spurious Safety Injection During Testing |
| Event Description | At 09:08 am on 4/5/2007, during surveillance testing of Unit 2 Train A safeguards logic at power, a spurious Train A safety Injection (SI) actuation occurred resulting in reactor protection system (RPS) actuation. Train A SI was in "Test" at the time and should not have caused the RPS trip. The operating crew manually actuated Train B SI as required by emergency operating procedures. All automatic actions for a reactor trip and safety Injection occurred as required. Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure decreased below the shutoff head of the high head Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) pumps during the transient, resulting in momentary ECCS discharge to the RCS. SI has been terminated per emergency operating procedures.
Prairie Island Unit 2 has been stabilized in mode 3, at about 2235 psig and 547 degrees average RCS temperature. Decay heat Is currently being removed by auxiliary feedwater and secondary steam dump to the main condenser. The cause of the actuation signal is under investigation. All control rods fully inserted. No primary power operated relief valves or safety valves lifted. No steam generator safeties lifted. Safeguards buses are powered by offsite power. The Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) started but did not load. Unit 1 Control Rod Drive Mechanism cooling isolated as designed in response to the actuation and has since been restored. Otherwise, Unit 1 was unaffected and remains in mode 1 at 100% power. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The licensee will also be notifying the State, local and other Government agencies and will be issuing a press release. |
