Title	Planned Manual Plant Shutdown Due to Grid Conditions
Event Description	Voluntary Report of Planned Manual Plant Shutdown. At 1802 on September 1, 2008, River Bend Station [RBS] completed a planned manual shutdown of the unit. This shutdown was determined to be necessary based on the conditions of the grid due to Hurricane Gustav. Evaluation of grid conditions determined that removing the unit from power operation would improve the reliability of the grid and thus the decision was made to shutdown. Offsite power was declared inoperable at 1520 on September 1 based on notification of grid status by the grid operator. It is expected that offsite power will be restored to an operable status within the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> LCO Required Action Completion Time. In addition, damage to turbine building siding was reported. Assessment of this condition is being conducted. RBS had previously activated the Outage Control Center prior to the arrival of Hurricane Gustav. Additional resources are available on site to respond to plant conditions. A comprehensive assessment of the condition of the plant and other site facilities will be completed prior to restart. At this time, a schedule for restart has not been established. The licensee contacted the NRC Resident Inspector.
