This 60-day telephone notification is being submitted in accordance with
10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) and
10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to report an invalid actuation of the 12
Emergency Diesel Generator Emergency
Service Water pump (12
ESW pump).
At 1745 [CST] on October 24, 2016, an unexpected auto-start of the 12 ESW pump occurred. The 12 Emergency Diesel Generator (12 EDG), was previously properly removed from service and isolated for scheduled maintenance. Upon investigation, is was determined that no valid start signal was present and actuation occurred during relay replacement activities on the 12 EDG in C-92 (12 EDG (G-38) electrical control panel) cabinet when electricians inadvertently bumped a 12 EDG start relay. During this period, the Control Room received annunciators indicating the 12 EDG engine was running/cranking and the 12 ESW pump started. Due to being isolated, the 12 EDG did not actually start.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
