| Title | Invalid Actuation of 1A Emergency Diesel Generator (Edg) |
| Event Description | This 60-day telephone notification is being made under the reporting requirements specified by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) and 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) to describe an invalid actuation of the 1A EDG. The 1A EDG start resulted from a degraded component during the testing of the 1A Emergency Load Sequencer.
At 2355 [EST] on November 15, 2014, the 1A EDG auto started during performance of the monthly 1A Emergency Load Sequencer test. The test was terminated by personnel prior to a full actuation of the Emergency Load Sequencer due to the unexpected response of the sequencer. The 1A EDG started and functioned normally. Troubleshooting identified a degraded relay downstream of the under voltage sensing circuit which made up the invalid 2/3 logic necessary to start the EDG. There were NO actual plant conditions or parameters (i.e. under voltage, degraded voltage, safety injection or manual initiation) involved in this actuation. The degraded relay would NOT have prevented the 1A Emergency Load Sequencer or the EDG from performing their safety related functions. Following troubleshooting, replacement of the relay and an evaluation for extent of condition, the 1A Emergency Load Sequencer and EDG were returned to service. The health and safety of the public was not affected by this issue. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
