| Title | Unit 1 Manual Reactor Trip from 100% Power Due to a Fire in the Main Turbine |
| Event Description | D.C. Cook Unit 1 declared an Unusual Event (EAL H4 & H5) due to a fire in the Main Turbine. The reactor was manually tripped from 100 percent. The fire occurred at the upper level of the turbine building (Level 633), and was extinguished by the fire suppression system and local fire brigade. Three fire pumps are running at this time. No injuries were reported.
All rods fully inserted, auxiliary feed water initiated and decay heat is being removed via atmospheric relief valves. Unit 1 is currently shutdown and stable in Mode 3, Hot Standby. Main steam stop valves are closed. Main condenser vacuum was broke. Unit 2 was not affected. All Unit 1 safety-related equipment is in-service and available. The licensee is currently assessing the extent of damage. The licensee will inform the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified DOE (Morrone), USDA (Shaf) and HHS (Mammarelli) that the NRC entered Monitoring Mode at 2045 EDT.
On September 20, 2008 at 20:05 the DC Cook Unit 1 Reactor was manually tripped after a malfunction occurred on the main turbine generator causing high vibration. A fire in the Unit 1 Main Generator resulted from this malfunction. A Notification of Unusual Event was declared September 20, 2008 at 20:18 due to Event classifications H-4, Fire within the protected area not extinguished within 15 minutes and H-5, Toxic or Flammable gas release affecting plant operation. The Unit 1 Main Generator Fire was reported extinguished at September 20, 2008 at 20:28. The Unit 1 plant trip was uncomplicated and all Automatic Control systems functioned as expected. All control rods inserted on the Reactor trip. The Turbine and both Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater pumps automatically started and fed all four Steam Generators as designed. The Steam Generator Stop Valves were manually closed to arrest plant cooldown. The cause of the Main Generator fire has not yet been determined, but the investigation is ongoing. No radiological release resulted from this event. This event is being reported as a four hour report required by 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) due to the Reactor Protection System automatic actuation and as an eight hour report required by 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for the automatic actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater system. The Notification of Unusual Event was reported separately. Unit 1 is stable in Mode 3. Shutdown Margin was satisfactorily verified. The main condenser was isolated as the primary heat sink. Steam Generator Power Operated Relief Valves are removing core decay heat in automatic control due to breaking main condenser vacuum. Main condenser vacuum was broken to stop the Unit 1 main turbine generator due to high vibration. Preparations are in progress to cooldown Unit 1 to Mode 5, Cold Shutdown. The Fire Suppression Water System was actuated and one of two 565,000 gallon tanks was drained. The second 565,000 gallon Fire Suppression Water tank was placed in service to restore the Fire Suppression Water system function. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, local and state authorities. The licensee will likely make a press release. Notified R3RA (Caldwell), R3DO (Stone), NRR (Leeds and Galloway) IRD (McDermott), DHS (Gomez) and FEMA (Kuzia).
At 0409 the licensee terminated from the Notice of Unusual Event. The licensee has established the forced outage recovery team. No fires exist and no conditions conducive to fires exist due to the event. The licensee has established the integrity of the fire protection system. Notified R3RA (Caldwell), R3DO (Stone), NRR (Galloway), IRD (Grant), DHS (Jason), DOE (Maroni), FEMA (Sweetser), USDA (Phillip), and HHS (Nathan). |
