| Title | Notification of Unusual Event Due to Explosion and Fire in the Turbine Building |
| Event Description | On 11/5/13 at 1746 [EST], Beaver Valley Unit 1 Generator tripped on 'C' Transformer differential protection. The Unit was at 47%, so an automatic trip of the reactor was not expected. The reactor was tripped manually. Entered E-0 Reactor Trip Response. The Aux Feedwater Turbine Driven Pump automatically started as required and one motor driven pump was manually started.
At 1748, the control room received report of fire in the Turbine building. The deluge system had actuated and extinguished the fire in the Turbine plant mezzanine. Off-site assistance was staged and available. At 1828, an Unusual Event was declared when fire brigade reports indications that an explosion and fire had occurred in a cable tray in the Unit 1 Turbine Mezzanine. The [NRC] Resident Inspector was notified of the events that occurred. At 1836, NRC [Resident Inspector] was notified of the Unusual Event. Cause of the cable tray explosion and fire is being investigated. The reactor trip was uncomplicated and Unit 1 is stable in mode 3 with decay heat being released to the main condenser. Normal offsite power is available. Unit 2 continues to operate at 100% and there is no impact on the health and safety of the public.
At 1959 on 11/5/13, the licensee terminated the Unusual Event. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R1DO (Noggle), NRR EO (Skeen), IRD (Marshall). Notified the DHS SWO, FEMA, DHS NICC, and Nuclear SSA via e-mail. |
