SUBJECT:

FERMI 2 - TRANSMITTAL OF FINAL ACCIDENT SEQUENCE PRECURSOR ANALYSES CONCERNING THE AUGUST 14, 2003 TRANSMISSION GRID BLACKOUT

Dear Mr. Cobb:

The enclosure provides the final results of the Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) analyses of an event which occurred at Fermi 2 as documented in Licensee Event Report 341/03-002. The subject event occurred on August 14, 2003 during which Fermi 2 experienced grid instability and a subsequent reactor trip while operating at 100 percent power. Loss of offsite power occurred at 1611 hours0.0186 days <br />0.448 hours <br />0.00266 weeks <br />6.129855e-4 months <br />. Plant emergency diesel generators started and supplied power to safety-related plant loads until offsite power was restored. The ASP analysis calculated a conditional core damage probability of 2x10-5.

The enclosure is provided for your information and no response is requested.

Sincerely,

/RA/
