At 1826 [CDT], Operators identified that off-site 161 kV power source predicted post-trip voltage was below the operability limit of 161.3 kV. [Operators] entered
AOP-31, 161 kV Grid Malfunctions, Section 1, 161 kV Grid Instability, and declared House Service Transformers
T1A-3 and
T1A-4 inoperable. [Operators] entered
Technical Specification 2.7(2)c. Per
Technical Specification 2.7(2)c, 'Both house service transformers
T1A-3 and
T1A-4 (
4.16kV) may be
inoperable for up to
72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The loss of the 161kV incoming line renders both transformers
inoperable. The NRC Operations Center shall be notified by telephone within
4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> after inoperability of both transformers.'
Per OPPD [Omaha Public Power District] Transmission, grid conditions are currently stable. OPPD Transmission has successfully raised predicted post-trip 161 kV voltage with all predicted voltages meeting or exceeding operability requirement of 161.3 kV as of 1834. Current post-trip predicted voltage is 162.2 kV as of 2029.
Lowest observed actual voltage was 163.7 kV. The 161 kV line and transformers T1A-3 and T1A-4 remained available at all times.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
