Title | Invalid System Actuation Due to Loss of One Offsite Power Circuit to Safety Buses |
Event Description | This 60-day report, as allowed by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), is being made under the reporting requirement in 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to describe an unplanned, invalid actuation of specified systems, specifically the Units 2 and 3 Primary Containment Isolation Systems (PCIS). On 7/23/08, at approximately 2325 hours0.0269 days <br />0.646 hours <br />0.00384 weeks <br />8.846625e-4 months <br />, Units 2 and 3 experienced invalid Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS) partial isolations. Unit 2 experienced an outboard PCIS Group II isolation, while Unit 3 experienced inboard and outboard PCIS Group II isolations. The isolations involved various process lines including Reactor Water Cleanup (RWCU), Containment Atmospheric Control (CAC) / Containment Atmospheric Dilution (CAD), Drywell Sumps, and Containment Instrument Nitrogen. The Units 2 and 3 PCIS isolations were reset by approximately 2350 hours0.0272 days <br />0.653 hours <br />0.00389 weeks <br />8.94175e-4 months <br /> in accordance with procedures. All required isolation valves operated as designed.
The invalid PCIS isolations were a result of a fast transfer on associated 4 kV safety-related electrical buses for Units 2 and 3 caused by a loss of one of the two off-site power circuits that supply the 4 kV buses. This fast transfer resulted in a momentary voltage transient on electrical power supplies to the logic for the Units 2 and 3 PCIS. The two station off-site power circuits are fed from three offsite sources. The loss of the offsite power circuit was caused by failure of the 'A' phase of the '#1' transformer, which is associated with one of the three offsite power sources. This transformer is located at the North Substation. The transformer automatically isolated as a result of a fire associated with this transformer and resulted in the loss of two of the three offsite power sources. Subsequent to fire extinguishment, appropriate electrical switching was performed and the offsite power circuit was returned to an operable status by 0650 hours0.00752 days <br />0.181 hours <br />0.00107 weeks <br />2.47325e-4 months <br /> on 7/24/08. This issue has been entered into the site Corrective Action Program (CR 799684, 811332) for evaluation and implementation of further corrective actions including determining why two offsite sources were lost as a result of the transformer failure. The NRC resident has been informed of this notification. |
