Title | Main Generator Transformer Explosion - No Impact on Plant Safety Related Systems |
Event Description | At 1143 on 4/6/07 the licensee declared an Unusual Event due to a main transformer explosion in the protected area. The event was declared in accordance with EAL 8.2.2. Unit 3 automatically tripped due to a load reject at the main generator. The Unit is currently stable at normal operating temperature and pressure. Decay heat is being removed via the steam dumps to the main condenser. All emergency diesel generators are available if needed but safety buses are currently supplied with offsite power.
At the transformer site the deluge system actuated and the fire brigade responded. The fire was out at the time of the report The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector.
The offsite local fire department was called by the licensee but their support was not needed and they were released.
The licensee exited Unusual Event at 1247 based on the fact that the fire was confirmed to be extinguished, there was no damage to safety equipment and the plant was in a safe and stable condition.
On April 6 at 1143 hours0.0132 days <br />0.318 hours <br />0.00189 weeks <br />4.349115e-4 months <br />, an unusual event was declared based on Emergency Action Level 8.2.2, an explosion in the 'B' phase of the 31 main transformer. This is a one hour reportable event to the NRC made at 1159 hours0.0134 days <br />0.322 hours <br />0.00192 weeks <br />4.409995e-4 months <br />. This is an update of EN 43285. The NUE was terminated at 1247 hours0.0144 days <br />0.346 hours <br />0.00206 weeks <br />4.744835e-4 months <br />. The State and County were also notified of the unusual event. A press release was made. Although no one was injured as a result of this event, a four hour report is being made since this is related to on-site personnel safety. The main generator tripped and this resulted in a consequential reactor trip. The Reactor Protection System shut down the reactor at 1109 hours0.0128 days <br />0.308 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.219745e-4 months <br />, a four hour report. The plant operated as designed and the Auxiliary Feedwater System actuated, an eight hour report. The fire was reported to the Control Room at 1111 hours0.0129 days <br />0.309 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.227355e-4 months <br />. The fire was put out in less than 15 minutes. The event is currently under investigation. The header information in this event was revised as a result of this update to indicate 'Offsite Notification.' |
