| ENS 54271 | 12 September 2019 00:49:00 | On September 11, 2019 at 1719 CDT, plant personnel identified a condition in which the 208 foot elevation inner primary containment airlock door was not in its fully seated and latched position while the 208 foot elevation outer primary containment airlock door was opened. The 208 foot elevation outer containment airlock door was subsequently closed by the individual exiting the area. The time that both 208 foot elevation containment airlock doors were not in their fully seated and latched positions was less than 1 minute. Following this occurrence, maintenance personnel inspected the 208 foot elevation inner containment airlock door and re-positioned this door to its fully seated and latched position. There was no radioactive release as a result of this event. This condition requires an 8-hour non-emergency notification in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(C) as an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function needed to control the release of radioactive material. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
| ENS 54062 | 12 May 2019 15:28:00 | At 1039 CDT the reactor was manually (scrammed) due to a partial loss of plant service water. The loss of plant service water was caused by a loss of (balance of plant) BOP transformer 23. Reactor power was reduced in an attempt to restore pressure to plant service water. Reactor level is being maintained with condensate and feedwater. Reactor pressure is being maintained with bypass control valves. Standby Service Water A and B were manually initiated to supply cooling to Control Room A/C and (Engineered Safety Feature) ESF switchgear room coolers. The cause is under investigation. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. This event is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) as any event or condition that results in actuation of the Reactor Protection System (RPS), when the reactor is critical and also reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), as any event or condition that results in actuation of RPS and Standby Service Water. The plant is currently in a normal electrical lineup.
This is an update to the original notification. The Drywell and Containment exceeded the technical specification (TS) temperature limits of 135 degrees F (TS Limiting Condition of Operation (LCO) 3.6.5.5) and 95 degrees F (TS LCO 3.6.1.5), respectively. An 8-hour notification is being added for any event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to control the release of radioactive material per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C). Notified R4DO (Alexander). |
| ENS 53788 | 12 December 2018 17:29:00 | EN Revision Text: MANUAL REACTOR SCRAM DUE TO FAILED OPEN TURBINE BYPASS VALVE At 1351 CST, the reactor was manually shutdown due to 'A' Turbine Bypass Valve opening. The Main Steam Line Isolation Valves were manually closed to facilitate reactor pressure control. Reactor level is being maintained through the use of Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System, Control Rod Drive System, and High Pressure Core Spray System. High Pressure Core Spray System was manually started to initially support reactor water level control. Reactor Pressure is being controlled through the use of the Safety Relief Valves and the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System. The plant is stable in MODE 3. The cause of the 'A' Turbine Bypass Valve opening is under investigation at this time. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
This is an update to EN # 53788 to correct an error on the event classification block of the form. The original notification did not have the block for 8 hour notification for Specified System Actuation checked. The actuation of Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System was discussed in original notification. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Taylor). |
| ENS 53608 | 14 September 2018 21:09:00 | At 1644 (CDT) a manual reactor scram was inserted by placing the Reactor Mode Switch to Shutdown. At 1643 (CDT) the Condensate Booster Pump A tripped on low suction pressure. At 1644 (CDT) the Reactor Feed Pump A tripped on low suction pressure. A Recirculation Flow Control Valve runback occurred as designed. Reactor Water level was approaching the Automatic Low Water Level 3 (11.4 inches) scram set point and manual actions were taken by placing the Mode Switch to Shutdown before the low level set point was reached. All systems responded as expected following the manual scram. The plant is stable in mode 3. This event is being reported under 10CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), as any event or condition that results in actuation of the Reactor Protection System (RPS), when the reactor is critical. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. All control rods fully inserted, and decay heat is being removed through the turbine bypass valves to the main condenser. The licensee is investigating the cause of the event. |
