| Title | Automatic Reactor Trip on Low Steam Generator Water Level |
| Event Description | The following event description is based on information currently available. If through subsequent reviews of this event, additional information is identified that is pertinent to this event or alters the information being provided at this time, a follow-up notification will be made via the ENS [Emergency Notification System] or under the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.73.
On June 27th, 2018 at approximately 2310 Mountain Standard Time (MST), in Palo Verde Unit 3, the #1 Steam Generator Economizer valve started closing. This caused Steam Generator #1 water level to decrease. Both Feed water pumps speed increased to raise Steam Generator level. At approximately 2311 [MST], the B Main Feed water pump tripped resulting in a Reactor Power Cutback. Steam Generator #1 level continued to decrease resulting in an Automatic Reactor Trip on Low Steam Generator #1 water level. All control rods inserted to shut down the Reactor to Mode 3 using Main Feed water and Steam Bypass. Post trip Steam Generator #1 level then increased and at approximately 2316 [MST] a Main Steam Isolation Signal (MSIS) was received on high Steam Generator level. The 'B' Auxiliary Feed water pump was manually started to maintain Steam Generator water levels and Steam Generator pressure was controlled using the Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVs). Following the reactor trip, all CEAs [Control Element Assemblies] inserted fully into the core. All systems operated as expected. No emergency plan classification was required per the Emergency Plan. Safety related busses remained powered during the event from offsite power and the offsite power grid is stable. No major equipment was inoperable prior to the event that contributed to the event or complicated operator response. Unit 3 is stable and in Mode 3 feeding Steam Generators with Auxiliary Feed water Pump 'B'. The event did not result in any challenges to fission product barriers and there were no adverse safety consequences as a result of this event. The event did not adversely affect the safe operation of the plant or the health and safety of the public. The NRC Resident Inspector was informed of the Unit 3 reactor trip. Unit 1and Unit 2 were unaffected by the Unit 3 trip. |
