Title | Manual Reactor Scram Due to Lowering Condenser Vacuum |
Event Description | On July 12, 2012, at 0200 EDT, clean steam reboiler 'B' failed, causing a loss of sealing steam. This resulted in degrading condenser vacuum and rising off gas system pressure. The main steam backup supply for sealing steam also failed, and condenser vacuum and off gas system pressure continued to degrade.
In response to rising off gas system pressure and lowering condenser vacuum, reactor power was lowered to 85% in accordance with Special Operating Procedures. With off gas system pressure approaching the procedural limit and condenser vacuum degrading rapidly, a manual reactor scram was inserted at 0220 EDT. All control rods fully inserted and all systems functioned as expected on the scram. Plant is currently shutdown and parameters are stable. The unit is currently implementing post scram recovery procedures and plant cooldown is in progress. The cause of the loss of both the primary and backup sources of sealing steam is under investigation. The shutdown electrical lineup is normal and decay heat is being removed via steam bypass valves to the main condenser. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the Public Service Commission. |
