| Title | Unusual Event - Transformer Explosion Near Turbine Building |
| Event Description | At 2248 on 8/27/2011, the Unit 1 Reactor experienced an automatic trip due to loss of load. This trip occurred due to a phase to phase short on the main generator output step-up transformer that resulted from a large section of turbine building siding breaking loose in high winds from Hurricane Irene and impacting the transformer. This impact resulted in an explosion (briefly until the trip removed power from the impact area) which met emergency action level declaration criteria A.U.6.2.2, 'Unanticipated explosion within Protected Area resulting in visible damage to permanent structures or equipment.' The Unusual Event was declared at 2302, 8/27/2011. Follow-up investigation determined no fire resulted from the explosion.
Following the trip, Emergency Procedure, EOP-0, 'Post Trip Immediate Actions' was implemented. All safety functions were met during EOP-0 indicating an uncomplicated reactor trip response, allowing transition to EOP-1, 'Reactor Trip,' at 2300, 8/27/2011. During implementation of EOP-1, it was noted that #14 Containment Air Cooler had stopped running, as had #21 and #24 Containment Air Coolers on Unit 2. This was investigated and it was determined they had stopped running due to an instantaneous voltage drop that had occurred on the site distribution system during the phase to phase short event. This short duration voltage drop caused the Containment Air Coolers' controller to drop out and secure them. They were restarted without issue. At 2400, 8/27/2011, numerous alarms on the 1A DG started to be received. These were investigated and it was found that water was intruding down the DG exhaust piping resulting in a DC ground. Based on these indications the 1A DG was declared inoperable and appropriate technical specifications implemented. Besides the above issues plant response was as expected and EOP-1 was exited at 0130, 8/28/2011. [Procedure] OP-4, 'Shutdown from Power Operation to Hot Standby,' was implemented at that time. All control rods fully inserted on the reactor trip. The plant is in a normal post-trip electrical lineup. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
At 0755 EDT the licensee exited the Unusual Event condition based on the fact that they were able to inspect the area in the daylight and were satisfied that they knew the extent and nature of the damage. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1 IRC (Dentel), DHS (Hill), FEMA (Via). |
