| Title | Unusual Event Declared Due to a Loss of Offsite Power |
| Event Description | At 0135 EDT on 07/12 both Startup Transformers "SA" and "SB" were deenergized due to the loss of the 34.5kV power distribution lines (offsite power). The licensee declared an Unusual Event at 0148 EDT based on the loss of power to both transformers for greater than 15 minutes (EAL MU1).
As a result of the loss of offsite power, the Unit automatically scrammed with all control rods fully inserting. Both Emergency Diesel Generators EDG #1 and EDG #2 auto started and are carrying vital loads. The Unit is stable in Hot Shutdown with decay heat removal via the Isolation Condenser. The licensee reported that the transient may be due to a possible lightning strike caused by adverse weather. The licensee informed the NJ State Police and the NRC Resident Inspector.
At 0405 EDT on 07/12 the licensee terminated the Unusual Event based on restoration of offsite power and reenergizing both Startup Transformers. The licensee informed the NJ State Police and the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1 (Lew), EO (Holian), IRD (Gott), FEMA (Austin) and DHS (Inzer).
Licensee changed one reporting requirement from 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) to 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). Notified R1DO (Dentel). |
