| Title | Valid Actuation of Emergency AC Electrical Power Systems |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
At 1924 MST on April 8, 2025, a loss of power (LOP) occurred to 'Train-A' 4.16 kV class 1E electrical bus while re-energizing 'Train-A' balance of plant (BOP) engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) from pre-planned maintenance. The LOP occurred when the circuit breaker supplying off-site power to the 'Train-A' 4.16 kV class 1E bus tripped when 'Train-A' BOP ESFAS system was re-energized. Operators restored power to 'Train-A' 4.16 kV class 1E bus with 'EDG-A' [emergency diesel generator for 'Train-A'] at 1934 MST. Operators restored all necessary plant loads which had lost power. Per the Palo Verde emergency plan, no emergency classification was required. At the time of the LOP, the reactor was defueled with the core offloaded to the spent fuel pool. Unit 2 and Unit 3 are not impacted by this event and remain in mode 1, 100 percent power. The cause of the circuit breaker supplying off-site power to the 'Train-A' 4.16 kV class 1E bus tripping is under investigation. NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that resulted in a valid actuation of emergency AC electrical power systems. |
