At the time of the test, the 2A and 2B Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) pumps were in operation to provide make-up to the steam generators. The main feedwater system was not in service. During realignment activities from the 2A Sl test, the 2A AFW train actuation signal was unblocked when the '2A AFW auto start defeat' switch was returned to 'reset.' This caused the 2A AFW train control valves to fully open, and the associated steam generator sampling and blowdown valves to close. The actuation occurred as designed and there was no adverse impact to the Unit. Public health and safety were not impacted by this event. Based on a review of the Event Reporting Guidelines and the plant licensing basis, this event was initially determined to be an invalid actuation. However, after further review and discussions with the NRC, Duke Energy concluded the event should be reported as an 8-hour non-emergency in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A) as a valid actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System. A Nuclear Condition Report was initiated for the late notification. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.Steam Generator

Manual Reactor Trip Due to Indication of Dropped Control Rods

On November 14, 2013, at 1313 Eastern Standard Time, Unit 1 was manually tripped from 100% power due to indications of (four) dropped control rods. This manual reactor protection system actuation is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). The cause of the dropped rods is not confirmed at this time, but may be related to maintenance in a Rod Control Power Cabinet ongoing at the time of the event. The Operations crew entered the reactor trip procedure and stabilized Unit 1 in Mode 3 at normal operating temperature and pressure. All control rods fully inserted into the core following the reactor trip and all plant systems operated as designed. The Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW) system (1A and 1B motor-driven pumps) was manually started for steam generator level control following reactor trip. The start of the AFW system is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A) for a valid system actuation. Decay heat is being removed via the steam generators (via steam dumps to the main condenser). This event does not impact public health and safety. Unit 2 was not affected by this event. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

Automatic Reactor Trip Due to Turbine Trip on Loss of Both Main Feed PumpsAt 0957 EST on 02/21/13, Unit 1 Reactor automatically tripped from 100% power, due to a turbine trip. The turbine trip was caused by a loss of both main feedwater (MFW) pumps. The 1A motor driven auxiliary feedwater (AFW) pump auto started to feed the "A" and "B" Steam Generators (S/G). The 1B motor driven AFW pump was unavailable due to planned maintenance, so the turbine driven AFW pump was manually started to feed the "C" and "D" S/Gs. The reactor trip was uncomplicated. All control rods fully inserted. Decay heat removal is to the main condenser via the turbine bypass valves. There was no primary to secondary leakage. Electrical buses are being supplied via offsite power. Steam generator levels are being returned to normal and MFW has been reset and is available. All other plant systems functioned as designed during and after the reactor trip. There is no impact on Unit 2. There is no impact on the health and safety of the public. The loss of the MFW pumps is still under investigation. The licensee has informed the NRC Resident Inspector.Steam Generator

ENS 4670930 March 2011 04:10:0010 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), System ActuationControl Rod Malfunction During Rod Testing Results in Operators Manually Opening Trip Breakers

Rod L-13 did not function as expected during control rod movement test. This rod is in Shutdown Bank C. When withdrawing this bank, rod L-13 did not withdraw and when the bank was manually inserted, rod L-13 began to withdraw. The (operating) crew went to Enclosure 13.2 of the procedure to deal with the misaligned rods. This enclosure has procedural guidance to open the reactor trip breakers, if desired. The reactor trip breakers were opened and all 211 rods are fully inserted. The reactor was not critical. This activity was performed twice (at the request of reactor engineering). The licensee will remain in Mode 5 (Cold Shutdown) until troubleshooting and repair is completed. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector.

  • * * RETRACTION AT 1528 ON 4/26/2011 FROM JAMES DAIN TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * *

This notification pertains to Event Number 46709. Based on further investigation, this event is being retracted. The event described in Event Number 46709 involved a control rod malfunction on Unit 2 while in Mode 5, during RCCA movement testing. Specifically, Control Rod 'L-13' in Shutdown Bank 'c' did not move with the bank when the bank was withdrawn from the bottom of the core. When the bank was reinserted to the bottom of the core, L-13 was observed to be 12 steps withdrawn. This condition was corrected by opening the reactor trip breakers which placed L-13 at the bottom of the core. The subsequent troubleshooting plan involved further manipulation of Shutdown Bank 'C' with additional instrumentation on the rod control cabinets. The same anomaly occurred and the reactor trip breakers were again opened. This event (both openings of the reactor trip breakers) was reported to the NRC on 3/30/11 as a valid RPS actuation (8-hour report; 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A)). The event in question did not result in any consequences, given that the plant was in Mode 5 and not critical. NUREG-1022, Revision 2 states that actuations that need not be reported are those initiated for reasons other than to mitigate the consequences of an event (e.g., at the discretion of the licensee as part of a preplanned procedure). Notwithstanding the issue of whether opening the reactor trip breakers was to mitigate the consequences of an event, NUREG-1022 cites one valid example of actuations that need not be reported, namely if the actuation was 'at the discretion of the licensee as part of a preplanned procedure'. The purpose of the test being conducted was to identify issues with the control rod system. The malfunction that occurred is one of a host of possible issues that could reasonably be expected to occur. Although the test personnel did not go into the test expecting the need to open the reactor trip breakers, the malfunction that occurred resulted in a desire to open the reactor trip breakers in order to restore the plant to the desired configuration. This action was a choice as allowed by the test procedure, and the personnel involved were aware of the result of the action before it occurred. Therefore, the event constituted a 'pre-planned sequence during testing', and was 'at the discretion of the licensee as part of a preplanned procedure.' Based upon the above considerations, the event does not meet the aforementioned criteria for an 8-hour report, and Event Number 46709 is therefore retracted. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector of this update. Notified the R2DO (Seymour).

Manual Reactor Trip Due to Loss of Both Main Feed Pumps During ShutdownUnit 1 performed a manual reactor trip (from 28% power) due to the trip of the 1B main feedwater pump trip concurrent with the 1A main feedwater pump having been previously tripped per the shutdown procedure. Reactor power was below the setpoint for an automatic reactor trip from a turbine trip. All rods fully inserted, heat removal is from auxiliary feedwater and condenser steam dumps, and the electrical system is in a normal alignment. The plant has stabilized at normal RCS pressure and temperature. Both Units 1 and 2 are being shutdown as per Tech Spec 3.0.3 associated with an inoperable Nuclear Service Water System.

The Turbine Driven Auxiliary/Emergency Feedwater pump auto started when power was lost to the steam admittance solenoid valves. Additional feedwater to the steam generators caused an increase in power; in response, turbine load was manually decreased. At no time were any power limits exceeded. Power level is currently at 87% and stable. Maximum power, as determined by core delta temperatures, did not exceed 100%. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

Event Report 44869 Retraction: On February 23, 2009, McGuire Nuclear Station notified the NRC of an inadvertent actuation of the Unit 1 Turbine Driven Auxiliary/Emergency Feedwater (TDAFW) Pump (reference Event Report 44869). This event occurred when power was removed to the steam admittance solenoid valves for the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump prior to isolating the steam supply to the pump. Removing power to the steam admittance valves caused them to fail open, starting the pump. As per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), this event was reported as a valid actuation of the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump. Further evaluation of the event concluded that the actuation of the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump was not the result of a valid signal initiated in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the safety function provided by the pump. In addition, the actuation of the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump was not the result of an intentional manual initiation. Therefore, actuation of the Unit 1 TDAFW Pump represented an invalid actuation which is not reportable per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). Therefore, McGuire is retracting Event Report 44869. Note that McGuire will report this event in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73. The licensee has notified the Resident Inspector.

Regarding the NRC Event Number 44624 conveyed November 3, 2008, McGuire Nuclear Station has determined that manually opening the reactor trip breakers was not reportable and hereby retracts this notification. Upon further consideration it was determined that manually opening the reactor trip breakers was a conservative decision to fully insert control rods based on the failure mechanism causing a single rod to drop to the fully inserted position. Manual actuation of the reactor trip breakers was not required by abnormal procedures and was performed only after consultation between operations, engineering and senior station management agreed that this was the preferred option. Therefore, the decision to manually open the reactor trip breakers is considered to be a preplanned actuation of the reactor protection system and is not reportable. The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (M. Lesser).

ENS 414572 March 2005 21:29:0010 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), System ActuationAutomatic Actuation of Motor Driven Afw Pumps During OutageThe following information was provided by the licensee via facsimile (licensee text in quotes): At 1629 (EST) on March 2, 2005, McGuire Nuclear Station Unit 2 experienced an automatic actuation of the 2A and 2B Motor Driven Auxiliary Feedwater (MDCA) Pumps. At the time of these actuations, Unit 2 was in MODE 3 in a refueling outage, the 2A Main Feedwater (CF) Pump was in service and, as per procedure, the 2B CF Pump was in a tripped condition and out of service. While performing system evolutions, Unit 2 CF system pressure unexpectedly dropped to a level that caused initiation of a low CF pump suction pressure signal which tripped the 2A CF Pump. Since the 2B CF Pump had previously been placed in a tripped condition, the logic for automatic start of the 2A and 2B MDCA Pumps was satisfied and these pumps started as designed. Since the 2A and 2B MDCA Pumps started in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the Auxiliary Feedwater (CA) System safety function, this represented a valid actuation of the CA system reportable under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) . Note that the 2A and 2B MDCA Pumps started and operated normally and Unit 2 remained in a stable condition during this event. Unit 2 CF system parameters and alignments have been returned to normal for the current plant MODE and conditions. The 2A and 2B CA Pumps are now off.
