Because of the lockout, power did not transfer to the startup transformers. Both emergency diesel generators started and aligned to the emergency busses. During the trip all control rods fully inserted and no safety or relief valves lifted. The plant is in Mode 3 steaming through the atmospheric relief valves and feeding the steam generators using auxiliary feedwater. There is no reported primary to secondary leakage.

| ENS 47178 | 22 August 2011 19:13:00 | 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), Notification to Government Agency or News Release 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), RPS System Actuation | Manual Reactor Trip Due to Rising Condenser Backpressure | On August 22, 2011 at 1513 (hrs. EDT), Unit 1 was manually tripped due to rising condenser backpressure. All CEAs fully inserted into the core. Decay heat removal was initially from main feedwater and steam bypass to the main condenser. The cause of the rising back pressure was an influx of jellyfish into the intake structure, degrading the circulating water system performance. Subsequent to the manual trip, the 1B Main Feedwater Pump was manually secured due to a leak on the pump casing. The 1A Main Feedwater Pump subsequently tripped due to low suction pressure after manually securing the 1B Condensate Pump, per procedure. Decay heat removal was transitioned to atmospheric dump valves and auxiliary feedwater. Unit 2 is in Mode 1, currently at 70 % power. Unit 2 power is being reduced from 100% in response to the influx of jellyfish. This event is reportable pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) for the reactor trip. During the transient, no primary or secondary relief valves lifted. Offsite power is stable and the plant is in its normal shutdown electrical line-up with power being supplied from offsite. There is no known primary-to-secondary leakage. The cause of the 1A Main Feedwater Pump trip is under investigation. Unit 2 remained at 70% reactor power before and after the event. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
On August 22, 2011 an abnormal fish kill of at least 1000 lbs was observed in the combined unit's intake canal. The cause of the fish kill was related to an unusually large sustained influx of jellyfish into the intake canal. Per the plant's environmental permit, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) was notified at 1627 EDT. This non-emergency notification is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to the notification of the FWCC.

| ENS 42804 | 25 August 2006 19:30:00 | 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), Notification to Government Agency or News Release | Tritium Found in an Onsite Settling Pond | This notification is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) due to notification of other government agencies at 15:30 on 8-25-06. Florida Power & Light Company (PPL) has identified a small amount of tritium in a settling pond at its St. Lucie Nuclear Plant Site. The level of tritium detected in the settling pond, 3.0 E-6 microCuries per milliliter (uCi/ml), is well below the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) drinking water standards of 2.0 E-5 uCi/ml and is less than two per cent of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) safe standards for tritium that apply to water in an unrestricted area. The source of the tritium is under investigation. The most likely source was from a leaking drain valve off a recirculating line associated with the Refueling Water Storage Tank. The leak has been stopped. This discovery presents no health or safety risk to employees or the public. The St. Lucie Plant does not have drinking water wells on site and the plant does not impact drinking water off site. The settling pond is a part of the normal drainage process at St. Lucie. Any water that is released from the settling pond is sampled for radioactivity and the results of any findings are included in a Radioactive Effluent Release Report that is filed annually with the NRC. Monitoring of the settling pond is conducted on a monthly basis. The previous measurements of the pond water on July 20, 2006 indicated that there was no tritium present. Notification to the State of Florida and St. Lucie and Martin county agencies has been reported in accordance with the Nuclear Energy Institute's voluntary reporting initiative. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. | ||

At the time of the event both units were in mode 4 and cooling down to meet shutdown entry conditions. The shutdown of both units was due to hurricane conditions from hurricane Jeanne. All four emergency diesels (2 per unit) started and properly loaded. Both units are stable in natural circulation cooling. Efforts continue to place both units on shutdown cooling. All systems operated as expected. The plant was already in a Notification of Unusual Event due to the Hurricane. Shutdown Cooling was established on Unit 1 at approximately 0020 EDT on 9/26/04. The licensee informed both state and local agencies and the NRC Resident Inspector. A conference call was held at approximately 0005 EDT with R2 Response Manager (Len Wert), NRR EO (Stu Richards) and IRD (Susan Frant) to discuss the loss of offsite power. The participants concluded that the NRC Monitoring Mode entered at 1515 EDT on 9/25 for the Hurricane was appropriate.
At 2356, September 25, 2004, St. Lucie Station, Units 1 and 2, experienced a loss of off -site power (LOOP). At the time of the LOOP all four emergency diesel generators started and loaded the safety related buses. In it's initial notification of the LOOP (0035 09/26/04, EN# 41067), FPL reported that all systems had performed as expected. However, during it's post LOOP walkdowns of the control room boards the control room operators determined that the 1 B Intake Cooling Water (ICW) pump had not automatically started as expected. The pump was subsequently started from the control room using the manual control switch. The cause for the failure to automatically start will be investigated and corrected prior to returning the unit to service. Notified R2 Response Manager (Len Wert)
At 1050 EDT both units recovered offsite power exiting the criteria for the UE based on LOOP. The licensee informed state and local agencies and the NRC Resident Inspector. HOO Note: See related ENs # 41067, 41071 and 41073. | Emergency Diesel Generator Shutdown Cooling | |
