| ENS 56118 | 19 September 2022 19:29:00 | The following information was provided by the licensee via email: At approximately 1520 CDT on September 19, 2022, Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) requested transport for treatment of a non-responsive individual, a contract employee, to an offsite medical facility. The offsite medical facility notified GGNS at approximately 1630 CDT that the individual had been declared deceased. The fatality was not work-related, and the individual was outside of the Radiological Control Area. This is a four-hour non-emergency notification in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi) related to the notification of a government agency. The contractor's employee will be notifying the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. |
| ENS 54371 | 6 November 2019 01:17:00 | On November 5, 2019 at 1811 CST, station service water A and the Division 1 diesel generator (DG) were declared inoperable based on the results of an engineering evaluation of a Class 3 piping leak. This was determined to be a potential inability to fulfill a safety function due to concurrent inoperability of two emergency diesel generators. Division 3 DG was inoperable due to planned maintenance on November 4, 2019 at 0000 CST. This event is being reported an 8-hour non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v)(D) as an event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function (Accident Mitigation). Division 3 DG and high pressure core spray have been restored, and the fulfillment of the accident mitigation safety function has been restored. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified.
This was initially reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). However, subsequent engineering evaluation determined that the condition did not affect safety system operability. The evaluation determined that the leakage was within allowable limits and piping structural integrity was not challenged at this time nor in the past three years. The Division 1 DG and SSW A were at the time of discovery OPERABLE and EN54371 is being retracted. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Drake). |
| ENS 53188 | 30 January 2018 21:56:00 | On 1/30/2018 at 1750 (CST), the Reactor Pressure Control Malfunctions ONEP (Off Normal Event Procedure) was entered due to main turbine load oscillations of approximately 30 MWe peak to peak. At 1822 (CST), a manual reactor scram was inserted by placing the Reactor Mode Switch in Shutdown due to continued main turbine load oscillations. Reactor SCRAM ONEP, Turbine Trip ONEP, and EP-2 were entered. Reactor water level was stabilized at 36 inches narrow range on startup level and reactor pressure stabilized at 933 psig using main turbine bypass valves. Reactor Water Level 3 (11.4 inches) was reached which is the setpoint for Group 2 (RHR to Radwaste Isolation) and Group 3 (Shutdown Cooling Isolation). No valve isolated in these systems due to all isolation valves in these groups being in their normally closed position. The lowest Reactor Water level reached was -36 inches wide range. No other safety system actuations occurred and all systems performed as designed. That 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 and also reported under 10CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), as any event or condition that results in actuation of RPS. The MSIVs are open with decay heat being removed via steam to the main condenser using the bypass valves. Off site power is stable, and the plant is in a normal shutdown electrical lineup. RCIC (Reactor Core Isolation Cooling) was out of service for maintenance, and the reactor water level did not reach the system activation level. The cause of the main turbine load oscillations being investigated. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
