----------- [ Current event for AR_Arkansas_2 ]
20190526 | AR_Arkansas_2 | AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP DUE TO A REACTOR COOLANT PUMP TRIP ON GROUND FAULT |
"This is a 4-hour Non-Emergency 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) notification due to a Plant Protection System (PPS) actuation.
Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, automatically tripped from 100 percent power at 0512 CDT.
The reactor automatically tripped due to 2P-32B Reactor Coolant Pump tripping as a result of grounding.
"No additional equipment issues were noted.
Emergency Feedwater (EFW) actuated and was utilized to maintain Steam Generator (SG) levels.
The EFW actuation meets the 8-hour Non-Emergency Immediate Notification Criteria of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).
No Primary safety valves lifted.
Main Steam Safety Valves (MSSVs) did lift initially after the trip.
"Decay heat is being removed via the steam dump valves to the main condenser.
Unit 2 is in a normal shutdown electrical lineup.
Unit 1 was not affected by the transient on Unit 2.
The licensee notified the State of Arkansas."
----------- [ Current event for IL_Braidwood_1;2 ]
20190525 | IL_Braidwood_1;2 | LOSS OF MAIN CONTROL ROOM AREA RADIATION MONITORS |
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-colle...ml#en54090
"At 1930 [CDT] on 5/25/2019, communications were lost with the main control room area radiation monitors.
These detectors are used to determine if an emergency action level (EAL) has been reached
for initiating condition RA3 (Radiation levels that impede access to equipment necessary
for normal plant operations, cooldown, or shutdown).
"This unplanned loss of the ability to evaluate an EAL for initiating condition RA3 is
considered a loss of emergency classification capability
and is reportable as a Major Loss of Emergency Preparedness Capabilities per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii).
This is an 8-hour reportable notification.

20190524 | KS_WolfCreek_1 | LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER DUE TO FIRE ON STARTUP TRANSFORMER |
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-colle...ml#en54087
"At 1310 CDT on 5/24/2019,
Wolf Creek experienced a loss of offsite power to the safety-related NB02 bus,
due to an external fire on a bushing on the startup transformer.
The NB02 bus was reenergized when the 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator started and the output breaker automatically closed. The shutdown sequencer automatically started equipment as expected.
"Due to the undervoltage condition on the NB02 bus, an AFAS-T [Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation Signal] signal
was generated which started the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump.
Turbine load was reduced to maintain reactor power less than 100% in response to the start of turbine driven
and 'B' motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.
The NB02 bus remains on the 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG).
The other EDG is operable in standby.

20190524 | OH_Perry_1 | LOW PRESSURE CORE SPRAY INOPERABLE |
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-colle...ml#en54085
"At 0730 [EDT] on May 24, 2019, it was discovered that the Low-Pressure Core Spray System was inoperable.
At Perry, the Low-Pressure Core Spray system is considered a single train system in Modes 1, 2, and 3;
Inoperability of the Low-Pressure Core Spray system was caused by Emergency Service Water Pump A inoperability.

"This 60-Day telephone notification is being made per the reporting requirements specified in
10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to describe an invalid actuation of Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 containment isolation logic.
"On April 18, 2019, while performing a relay replacement on the Division 2/4 Main Steam Line logic,
a partial containment isolation occurred due to a blown fuse.
[ Human err, something shorted and blew the fuse. ]
"The Residual Heat Removal System received an isolation signal; however,
the system remained in service because the isolation was defeated in accordance with plant procedures.
"This event resulted in partial Group 2A, 3, 7A, 8A, and 8B isolations.
The systems successfully functioned per the plant design and plant configuration."
20190524 | MN_Monticello_1 | Retract HIGH ENERGY LINE BREAK DOOR FOUND IN INCORRECT POSITION RESULTING IN LPCI AND CORE SPRAY BEING INOPERABLE |
"Event Notification (EN) #53997, made on 4/13/2019, is being retracted.
An engineering evaluation completed subsequent to this event analyzed the discovered condition with both Door-410A and Door-410B being closed.
The engineering evaluation determined that the environmental conditions present with both Door-410A and Door-410B closed would not have impacted the availability of both divisions of the LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant Injection) and Core Spray injection valves nor would it have resulted in the loss of a post-HELB safe shutdown path.
Therefore, this condition did not meet the criteria for an 8-hour notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)
as an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety or per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D)
as an event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function.
The licensee also notified the Minnesota State Duty Officer.
