| Title | Technical Specification Required Shutdown Based on Both Emergency Diesels Being Declared Inoperable |
| Event Description | Prairie Island Unit 1 is currently being shutdown per Tech Spec 3.8.1.F due to both Diesel Generators inoperable for Unit 1.
On August 13th at 0939 CDT, a planned entry to Tech Spec 3.8.1.B was performed for one Diesel Generator inoperable, due to the scheduled monthly surveillance run of D1 Emergency Diesel Generator. At 1048 CDT, a small candle sized flame was identified at the exhaust manifold and D1 was subsequently shutdown. Subsequent investigation by maintenance determined that there appeared to be a gasket leak on the turbocharger. D1 was tagged out of service and repairs are currently in progress. Tech Spec 3.8.1 required action B.3.1 requires a determination be made to verify the operable Diesel Generator is not inoperable due to a common cause failure. On August 14th at 0230 CDT, Unit 1 entered the Limiting Condition for Operation to perform the monthly surveillance run to verify no common cause failure existed. At 0312 CDT, the Shift Manager reported a small candle sized fire on the exhaust manifold for D2. Unit 1 entered an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function, a 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v)(D) report is required due to a loss of both D1 and D2. D2 was subsequently shutdown and declared inoperable. A Technical Specification shutdown was also required and a Unit 1 Shutdown was commenced at 0425 CDT and a 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> non-emergency notification is required per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i). With both Diesels inoperable at 0230 CDT, Tech Spec 3 8.1.E requires one diesel to be returned to operable status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. However, as neither diesel generator could be returned to service in this time period, Tech Spec 3.8.1.E requires the plant to be in Mode 3 within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and Mode 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
A Technical Specification shutdown has been completed at 1025 CDT as planned for Unit 1. It was a normal manual reactor trip with no unexpected equipment issues. As expected due to plant electrical conditions, the Auxiliary Feedwater System auto started. This is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as a valid System Actuation, The Auxiliary Feedwater System operated as expected. Unit 1 is currently in Mode 3. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. Notified R3DO (Giessner). |
