AUXILIARY FEEDWATER ACTUATION ON A MANUAL REACTOR TRIP
"Auxiliary Feedwater actuation due to low steam generator level following a manual reactor trip.
"At 0702 on 10/15/05, a manual reactor trip was initiated due to decreasing level on the 3C steam generator. Auxiliary Feedwater system actuated as expected due to post-trip steam generator level decrease. 3C steam generator level was restored using Auxiliary and Main feed. The cause of the loss of steam generator level control is under investigation.
"The plant is stable in Mode 3 with the Auxiliary Feedwater system in standby."
All control rods fully inserted. The decay heat removal path is normal feedwater through the steam generators and out the atmospheric relief valves. There are no primary to secondary steam generator tube leaks. Safety related electrical busses are powered via normal offsite power. Emergency diesel generators are available if needed. There was no impact on Unit 4.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

"Updated to include notification under 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(2) for manual reactor trip."

DIESEL OIL SPILL IN EXCESS OF REPORTABLE QUANTITIES OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
"On 10/15/2005, at 09:30 am CDT, Wolf Creek Generating Station Operations personnel discovered a diesel fuel oil spill on acreage controlled by Wolf Creek generating Station, at the Makeup Water Screen House. The spill was not currently active and had occurred at an unknown previous date and time. The spill amount is estimated to be in excess of "Reportable Quantities of Hazardous Waste" per 40 CFR 302.4, which is greater than 1.4 gallons. The actual spill amount is not known, however there is no puddling or runoff. The spill has been reported to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. This [incident] requires a report to the NRC per 10 CPR 50.72 (b) (2) (xi)."
