| ENS 53606 | 14 September 2018 16:28:00 | At 1323 (EDT) on 9/14/18, with Unit 2 in Mode 1 at 90% power, the reactor automatically tripped due to a failure of 23BF19, 23 Steam Generator (SG) Feed Regulating Valve. The trip was not complex, with all systems responding normally post-trip. No equipment was inoperable prior to the event. An actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system occurred following the automatic reactor trip. The reason for the auxiliary feed water system auto-start was due to low level in the steam generator. Operations responded and stabilized the plant. Decay heat is being removed by the main steam dumps and auxiliary feedwater system. Unit 1 is not affected. Due to the Reactor Protection System actuation while critical, this event is being reported as a four-hour, non- emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feed water system. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The Lower Alloways Creek Township will be notified. |
