MANUAL REACTOR TRIP DUE TO FEEDWATER OSCILLATIONS
The licensee had reduced power to 95% to examine the '4A' steam generator feedwater regulating valve due to feedwater oscillations. A preliminary determination of valve internal problems versus control problems was made. The licensee was ready to continue the down power to shutdown to repair the feedwater regulating valve, when a manual trip became necessary due to the feedwater oscillations on '4A' steam generator.
All systems functioned as designed, all rods fully inserted, no secondary safety valves lifted, and the plant is stable in Mode 3. Heat removal is via the atmospheric steam dumps, normal procedure with no tube leaks, and feedwater is via the standby feedwater system. The plant will remain shut down until repairs to the feedwater regulating valve are complete.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
