| ENS 54237 | 23 August 2019 00:33:00 | At 2234 (EDT), on 08/22/2019, while Unit (2) was at approximately 100 percent power in MODE 1, it was discovered that Unit 2 HPCI was INOPERABLE. HPCI does not have a redundant system; therefore, this condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v). There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Initial evaluation is that it is a power supply issue. The system had no indications, followed by smoke from behind the circuitry, and then indications returning. This is associated with a 14-day Limiting Condition for Operation. |
| ENS 53953 | 24 March 2019 05:23:00 | At 0159 (EDT), with Unit 2 in Mode 1 at 25 percent power, the reactor was manually tripped due to degrading condenser vacuum. After the turbine was tripped, the station service electrical buses did not transfer to alternate supply resulting in loss of the condensate feedwater system and level being controlled by the RCIC system. Operators responded and stabilized the plant. Reactor water level is being maintained via the RCIC system. Pressure is being controlled and decay heat is being removed by the HPCI system in pressure control mode. Unit 1 is not affected. Additionally, an actuation of the primary containment isolation system occurred during the reactor scram. The reason for the actuation was a group II isolation signal was received on reactor water level and a group I isolation was received on decreasing vacuum. 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). Additionally, 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 primary containment isolation system. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
