| Title | Automatic Reactor Trip Due to a One Loop Reactor Coolant Low Flow |
| Event Description | At 0013 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br /> EDT on October 7, 2010, with the unit in Mode 1 at 100% power, an automatic reactor trip occurred. The reactor trip signal was based on the One Loop Low Flow reactor protection function. Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) 'C' tripped during the event.
The Auxiliary Feedwater System automatically actuated, as expected due to low steam generator water level, and provided feedwater to the steam generators. Steam generator and pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) and Main Steam Safety Valves did not open during the event. All control rods indicated fully inserted following the reactor trip. The normal post-trip electrical lineup is providing power to the plant and the electrical system is stable. Decay heat is being removed via the condenser. The reactor is currently stable in Mode 3. The Main Turbine Lube Oil Deluge System actuated without a fire during the event. A fire hose station pipe ruptured after the deluge system actuation. The fire hose station was isolated. In addition, the 'B' Main Feedwater (MFW) Pump tripped during the event and the 'A' Main Feedwater pump subsequently tripped due to high steam generator level in the 'C' Steam Generator at about 0023 hours2.662037e-4 days <br />0.00639 hours <br />3.80291e-5 weeks <br />8.7515e-6 months <br />. There is currently indication of RCP 'C' Number 2 seal leakage of approximately 2.5 gpm. At approximately 0405 EDT the Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) system actuated due to a trip of MFW Pump 'A' while attempting to start the pump in accordance with procedure GP-004, Post Trip Stabilization. The AFW system actuation signal caused motor-driven AFW Pump 'B' to start. The motor-driven AFW Pump 'A' was already in operation due to the post-trip condition. The cause of the MFW Pump 'A' trip is under investigation. This AFW system actuation is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). The cause of the reactor trip is under investigation. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
