| TECH SPEC REQUIRED SHUTDOWN - BACKLEAKAGE FROM THE S/G TO THE AUXILIARY |
| FEEDWATER SYSTEM. |
| |
| Check valve leakage from the # 1 Steam Generator caused a rise in |
| temperature in the discharge piping of the "A" auxiliary feedwater pump. |
| The maximum allowed temperature is 190 degrees F. The maximum temperature |
| reached was 300 degrees F. The licensee entered Tech Spec 3.0.3 at 1209 and |
| started slowly lowering power. Injection with the "A" AFW pump reduced |
| the temperature in the line below the limit. The licensee is waiting to |
| determine if the check valve has reseated. |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector, the town of Waterford and |
| the state of Connecticut. |
| |
