The | | required degree of separation per 10CFR50 Appendix R does not exist between | | divisions when either swing charger is connected to the 'B' DC Electrical | | subsystem. Use of the swing chargers is not a normal lineup but has occurred | | during the past three years. The uncompensated lack of an adequate fire | | barrier between divisions of safe shutdown equipment is considered an | | unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 37978 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: PRAIRIE ISLAND REGION: 3 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 05/09/2001| | UNIT: [] [2] [] STATE: MN |NOTIFICATION TIME: 20:37[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] W-2-LP,[2] W-2-LP |EVENT DATE: 05/09/2001| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 15:06[CDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: ED HEINEMAN |LAST UPDATE DATE: 05/09/2001| | HQ OPS OFFICER: DOUG WEAVER +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: N/A |BRUCE JORGENSEN R3 | |10 CFR SECTION: | | |*SHU 50.72(b)(2)(i) PLANT S/D REQD BY TS | | | | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | |2 N Y 100 Power Operation |18 Power Operation | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | TECH SPEC REQUIRED SHUTDOWN | | | | Initiation of a unit shutdown began at 1700 May 9, 2001, as required by T.S. | | 3.7.B because Unit 2 Diesel Generators D5 and D6 were declared inoperable at | | 1506. They were declared inoperable because it was determined that they may | | not be capable of long-term operation as assumed in the plant accident | | analyses. This determination is based on the discovery that the diesel fuel | | and lubricating fluids in the engines may be incompatible and may damage the | | engines based on a re-review of industry operating experience. | | | | The plant will go to Mode 5 and remain their until corrective actions are | | complete. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 37979 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: PRAIRIE ISLAND REGION: 3 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 05/09/2001| | UNIT: [] [2] [] STATE: MN |NOTIFICATION TIME: 21:53[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] W-2-LP,[2] W-2-LP |EVENT DATE: 05/09/2001| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 20:05[CDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: ED HEINEMAN |LAST UPDATE DATE: 05/09/2001| | HQ OPS OFFICER: DOUG WEAVER +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: N/A |BRUCE JORGENSEN R3 | |10 CFR SECTION: | | |*RPS 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) RPS ACTUATION - CRITICA| | | | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | |2 A/R Y 12 Power Operation |0 Hot Standby | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | MANUAL TURBINE TRIP - AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP | | | | Initiated manual turbine trip due to condenser vacuum differential pressure | | which resulted in an automatic reactor trip. Reactor power prior to the | | trip was 12.5%. The cause of the high condenser vacuum differential | | pressure is undetermined at this time. | | | | All control rods fully inserted, reactor coolant pumps are running. The | | steam generators are being fed with auxiliary feed. Decay heat is being | | removed by dumping steam with the turbine bypass atmospheric dumps. There | | are no known S/G tube leaks. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
