| TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION REQUIRED SHUTDOWN DUE TO POTENTIAL JET PUMP
FAILURE |
| |
| The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee: |
| |
| "At 1412 [CST], Unit 1 experienced indication of Jet Pump #19/20 failure |
| based on the following plant indications: |
| a) Gross Megawatt Electric decrease[,] |
| b) Reactor Pressure decrease[,] |
| c) Total Core Flow Indication increase[, and] |
| d) Core Plate dP decrease[.]" |
| |
| "At 1442 [CST], the 1B Recirculation Pump tripped - the cause of this trip |
| is unknown at this time. Based on indication of Jet Pump [#]19/20 failure, |
| the plant entered Tech Spec 3.4.2, Condition A, at 1521 [CST], requiring the |
| unit to be placed in Mode 3 within 12 hours. A plant shutdown is in |
| progress. No other related surveillances were in progress at the time. All |
| other equipment is operating as expected with all ECCS equipment available |
| on Unit 1." |
| |
| "Unit 1 has been operating with a minor fuel leak, which has been |
| suppressed, since December 22, 2001. Steam line radiation levels increased |
| and subsequently decreased, and the SJAE Radiation Monitors show a minor |
| spike and return to near pre-event values. Main Chimney Radiation Monitors |
| show no change in station effluent release rate to the environment. No |
| estimate of return to service for the unit is available at this time." |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. |
