Title | Unusual Event Due to Loss of Offsite Power Greater than 15 Minutes |
Event Description | An Unusual Event was declared on Unit 4 at 1730 EDT due to a loss of offsite power for greater than 15 minutes. Emergency buses are being powered from the Emergency Diesel Generators. All rods inserted. The plant is stabilizing on natural circulation in Mode 3. Emergency buses failed to auto-transfer to the startup transformer.
AFW initiated and is supplying water to the steam generators. There was no impact on Unit #3. The failure of the auto-transfer of the startup transformer is under investigation. Notified DHS, FEMA, NICC and NuclearSSA via email. The licensee notified State of Florida, Miami Dade county, the NRC Resident Inspector.
At 1854 EDT Turkey Point Unit 4 continues to be in an Unusual Event due to a loss of offsite power. The emergency buses were energized from the start up transformer at 1824 EDT. Two reactor coolant pumps have been started and are running. The plant is stabilizing in Mode 3. In addition, per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) notifications are being made for the Reactor Protection Actuation for loss of power and the Emergency Safety Function actuations of the Emergency Diesel Generators and Auxiliary Feedwater. The licensee notified State of Florida, Miami Dade county, the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Vias), NRR (Skeen), and IRD (Grant).
All emergency buses are powered from offsite power. Unit 4 is stable in Mode 3. The Unusual Event was terminated at 1915 EDT on 4/19/13. The licensee notified State of Florida, Miami Dade county, the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R2DO (Vias), NRR (Skeen), and IRD (Grant). Notified DHS, FEMA, NICC and NuclearSSA via email
In addition to the 10 CFR 50.72 sections initially identified, this event is also reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). Turkey Point was performing a 3rd Harmonic Relay Power Ascension Test after an Extended Power Upgrade outage. Unit 4 was approximately 173 MW electric with the auxiliary transformer supplying the site safety related 4.16KV busses. The test required maneuvering the Unit 4 main generator voltage downward to place the generator in the lead. As the Unit 4 main generator voltage was lowered, the Load Center degraded voltage relays initiated sequencer operation, 4.16KV bus stripping, starting the EDGs, and loading the 4.16KV buses onto EDGs. Offsite power was available at all times. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. R2DO (Sykes) notified. |
