| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
On October 10, 2024, at 1045 EDT, it was determined that an additional failure mechanism existed for a previous issue with the emergency diesel generator (EDG) speed switches. As a result, for some initiating events such as a fire or high energy line break potentially causing a ground on the negative buses on both trains of the station direct current (DC) system, both EDG speed switches could have been affected, resulting in a failure of the EDGs to function. This condition is not bounded by existing design and licensing documents; however, it poses no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel, as the EDG speed switches were replaced in January 2022 with a different design that is not susceptible to grounds on the station DC system. This event is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. |
