Safety Significance

The AFW System at St. Lucie supplies feedwater to the steam generators during transients when normal feedwater sources are not available and automatically initiates AFW flow upon receipt of an auxiliary feedwater actuation signal (AFAS) during applicable design bases accidents.

The AFW system consists of a condensate storage tank (CST),

two motor-driven AFW pumps, one steam turbine-driven AFW pump, and manual, check, and motor operated valves'that provide for inventory flow to the steam generators.

The AFW system uses main steam to drive the AFW turbine driven pump.

During the 98 hour0.00113 days <br />0.0272 hours <br />1.62037e-4 weeks <br />3.7289e-5 months <br /> time period that the 1C AFW pump would not respond automatically to an AFAS, both electric driven AFW pumps were operable.

Although the failed contactor auxiliary switch would have prevented the 1C AFW pump from responding automatically during an AFAS, the pump could be started by local operator action.

Factoring the relatively short exposure window, the availability of redundant and diverse electric driven AFW pumps,, and the manual recovery capability of the steam driven AFW pump, this event had no significant impact on the health and safety of the public.

Corrective Actions

The following licensee-planned corrective actions were entered under the St. Lucie Corrective Action Program.

1. The failed Al auxiliary contactor was replaced and tested.
2.

A Preventative Maintenance Change Request (PMCR) was initiated to evaluate a 36 month frequency inspection and testing of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 MOVs line starters located in the steam trestles.

Failed Component(s)

Local Starter for MV-08-3, Limitorque Model N/L
