SUMMARY

On October 14, 2014, while conducting planned maintenance on emergency diesel generator (EDG) 2B, a lighting strike in the Unit 2 switchyard caused the 2B startup auxiliary transformer (SAT) to de-energize. The 2B SAT and 2B EDG provide the normal and backup power, respectively, to the 2G 4160 V bus that supplies power to the B train component cooling water (CCW) pumps and other loads. Since the loss of the 2B SAT and the 2B EDG unavailability affected the on-service train (i.e., the B train) of CCW, operators followed procedures and manually tripped the reactor. The reactor trip resulted in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system (AFW).

According to the modeling assumptions used in this Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) analysis, the most likely core damage sequence is a transient initiating event (IE-TRANS) followed by the failure of AFW, failure of main feedwater, and failure of feed and bleed cooling.

This accident sequence accounts for approximately 63% of the conditional core damage probability (CCDP) for the event. This event was determined to be a precursor with a CCDP of 5.5x10-6.

EVENT DETAILS Event Description. On October 14, 2014, a lighting strike in the Unit 2 switchyard caused the 2B startup auxiliary transformer (SAT) to de-energize. The 2B SAT was the normal power supply to the 2G 4160 V bus that supplied power to the B train component cooling water (CCW) pumps and other loads. When the 2B SAT de-energized, power was lost to the B train CCW pumps that were aligned as the on-service train supplying cooling water to the reactor coolant pump (RCP) oil coolers and thermal barrier heat exchangers. Normally, the 2B emergency diesel generator (EDG) would automatically start and provide power to the B train CCW pumps.

However, with the 2B EDG unavailable due to planned maintenance, there was no automatic power supply to the B train CCW pumps. Procedures directed the operators to manually trip the reactor and stop all RCPs if the on-service train of CCW was affected. Accordingly, the licensee manually tripped the reactor and stopped all RCPs. The reactor trip resulted in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system. All other safety systems responded as designed. Additional information is provided in Reference 1 (licensee event report) and Reference 2 (inspection report).

Enclosure 1

LER 364-2014-002 Causes. The direct cause of this event was a loose termination from a missing nut in the power circuit breaker (PCB) 944 current transformer circuit connection to the instantaneous overcurrent relay, which in addition to the continued fault on the 500 kV bus side of the PCB 112 led to the B train loss of site power. The root cause was inadequate verification practices during wiring installations that led to the nut not being installed on its terminal.

Inspection Report/Significance Determination Process Result. The inspectors reviewed the event and determined that the licensee failed to take actions to mitigate the increased risk of a reactor trip with the B train of CCW as the on-service train while the 2B EDG was unavailable due to planned maintenance. The result was a self-revealing, Green finding. This LER is closed.

MODELING ASSUMPTIONS Analysis Type. The staff used version 8.21 of Farleys Units 1 and 2 Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model, created in September 2013, to perform the analysis (i.e., initiating event assessment). Farleys SPAR model is based on Unit 1, but the event occurred in Unit 2.

Therefore, surrogate components in Unit 1 were adjusted to account for the equivalent equipment affected in Unit 2. This event was modeled as a general transient initiating event.

Analysis Rules. The ASP program uses Significance Determination Process results for degraded conditions when available and appropriate to meet ASP Program needs. In this case, while the inspection program classified this event as a Green finding, an ASP analysis was performed consistent with ASP Program practices and guidance to analyze all initiating events.

Key Modeling Assumptions. The analysis contains the following modeling assumptions and basic event probability changes:

  • The probability of IE-TRANS (General Transient Initiating Event) was set to 1.0; all other initiating event probabilities were set to zero.
  • Basic event ACP-TFM-FC-SUT1B (230 to 4.2 kV Startup Transformer 1B Fails) was set to TRUE.
  • Basic event EPS-DGN-TM-DG1B (Diesel Generator 1B Unavailable due to Test and Maintenance) was set to TRUE.
  • EDG 2C is designated as the station blackout (SBO) diesel and can supply power to Unit 1 or Unit 2 when the 1B or 2B EDG is not available. Basic event EPS-DG2C-UNIT2 (Diesel 2C Required for SBO on Unit 2) was set to FALSE because EDG 2C1 was not required for an SBO event on the other unit (i.e., Unit 1, but modeled as Unit 2 in this analysis).

1 The staff considered setting the test and maintenance basic event for EDG 2C (EPS-DGN-TM-DG2C) to FALSE.

However, Farleys Technical Specifications (Reference 3 - see Condition E of Limiting Condition for Operation 3.8.1) do not preclude the licensee from placing EDG 2C in test and maintenance while another EDG is also undergoing test and maintenance. A sensitivity analysis was performed and it had a minimal reduction in CCDP.

2

LER 364-2014-002 ANALYSIS RESULTS CCDP. The point estimate CCDP for this event is 5.5x10-6. The ASP Program acceptance threshold is a CCDP of 1x10-6 or the CCDP equivalent of an uncomplicated reactor trip with a non-recoverable loss of main feedwater or loss of condenser heat sink, whichever is greater.

This CCDP equivalent is 1.7x10-6 for both cases. Therefore, this event resulted in a precursor for Farley, Unit 2.

Dominant Sequence. The dominant accident sequence is TRANS Sequence 20 (CCDP

= 3.5x10-6) that contributes approximately 63% of the total internal events CCDP. Figure 1 in Appendix B illustrates this sequence. The cut sets and sequences that contribute to the top 95%

and/or at least 1% of the total internal events CCDP are provided in Appendix A.

The events and component failures in TRANS Sequence 20 are:

  • Feed and bleed cooling fails.

SUMMARY

On October 14, 2014, while conducting planned maintenance on emergency diesel generator (EDG) 2B, a lighting strike in the Unit 2 switchyard caused the 2B startup auxiliary transformer (SAT) to de-energize. The 2B SAT and 2B EDG provide the normal and backup power, respectively, to the 2G 4160 V bus that supplies power to the B train component cooling water (CCW) pumps and other loads. Since the loss of the 2B SAT and the 2B EDG unavailability affected the on-service train (i.e., the B train) of CCW, operators followed procedures and manually tripped the reactor. The reactor trip resulted in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system (AFW).

According to the modeling assumptions used in this Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) analysis, the most likely core damage sequence is a transient initiating event (IE-TRANS) followed by the failure of AFW, failure of main feedwater, and failure of feed and bleed cooling.

This accident sequence accounts for approximately 63% of the conditional core damage probability (CCDP) for the event. This event was determined to be a precursor with a CCDP of 5.5x10-6.

EVENT DETAILS Event Description. On October 14, 2014, a lighting strike in the Unit 2 switchyard caused the 2B startup auxiliary transformer (SAT) to de-energize. The 2B SAT was the normal power supply to the 2G 4160 V bus that supplied power to the B train component cooling water (CCW) pumps and other loads. When the 2B SAT de-energized, power was lost to the B train CCW pumps that were aligned as the on-service train supplying cooling water to the reactor coolant pump (RCP) oil coolers and thermal barrier heat exchangers. Normally, the 2B emergency diesel generator (EDG) would automatically start and provide power to the B train CCW pumps.

However, with the 2B EDG unavailable due to planned maintenance, there was no automatic power supply to the B train CCW pumps. Procedures directed the operators to manually trip the reactor and stop all RCPs if the on-service train of CCW was affected. Accordingly, the licensee manually tripped the reactor and stopped all RCPs. The reactor trip resulted in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system. All other safety systems responded as designed. Additional information is provided in Reference 1 (licensee event report) and Reference 2 (inspection report).

Enclosure 1

LER 364-2014-002 Causes. The direct cause of this event was a loose termination from a missing nut in the power circuit breaker (PCB) 944 current transformer circuit connection to the instantaneous overcurrent relay, which in addition to the continued fault on the 500 kV bus side of the PCB 112 led to the B train loss of site power. The root cause was inadequate verification practices during wiring installations that led to the nut not being installed on its terminal.

Inspection Report/Significance Determination Process Result. The inspectors reviewed the event and determined that the licensee failed to take actions to mitigate the increased risk of a reactor trip with the B train of CCW as the on-service train while the 2B EDG was unavailable due to planned maintenance. The result was a self-revealing, Green finding. This LER is closed.

MODELING ASSUMPTIONS Analysis Type. The staff used version 8.21 of Farleys Units 1 and 2 Standardized Plant Analysis Risk (SPAR) model, created in September 2013, to perform the analysis (i.e., initiating event assessment). Farleys SPAR model is based on Unit 1, but the event occurred in Unit 2.

Therefore, surrogate components in Unit 1 were adjusted to account for the equivalent equipment affected in Unit 2. This event was modeled as a general transient initiating event.

Analysis Rules. The ASP program uses Significance Determination Process results for degraded conditions when available and appropriate to meet ASP Program needs. In this case, while the inspection program classified this event as a Green finding, an ASP analysis was performed consistent with ASP Program practices and guidance to analyze all initiating events.

Key Modeling Assumptions. The analysis contains the following modeling assumptions and basic event probability changes:

  • The probability of IE-TRANS (General Transient Initiating Event) was set to 1.0; all other initiating event probabilities were set to zero.
  • Basic event ACP-TFM-FC-SUT1B (230 to 4.2 kV Startup Transformer 1B Fails) was set to TRUE.
  • Basic event EPS-DGN-TM-DG1B (Diesel Generator 1B Unavailable due to Test and Maintenance) was set to TRUE.
  • EDG 2C is designated as the station blackout (SBO) diesel and can supply power to Unit 1 or Unit 2 when the 1B or 2B EDG is not available. Basic event EPS-DG2C-UNIT2 (Diesel 2C Required for SBO on Unit 2) was set to FALSE because EDG 2C1 was not required for an SBO event on the other unit (i.e., Unit 1, but modeled as Unit 2 in this analysis).

1 The staff considered setting the test and maintenance basic event for EDG 2C (EPS-DGN-TM-DG2C) to FALSE.

However, Farleys Technical Specifications (Reference 3 - see Condition E of Limiting Condition for Operation 3.8.1) do not preclude the licensee from placing EDG 2C in test and maintenance while another EDG is also undergoing test and maintenance. A sensitivity analysis was performed and it had a minimal reduction in CCDP.

2

LER 364-2014-002 ANALYSIS RESULTS CCDP. The point estimate CCDP for this event is 5.5x10-6. The ASP Program acceptance threshold is a CCDP of 1x10-6 or the CCDP equivalent of an uncomplicated reactor trip with a non-recoverable loss of main feedwater or loss of condenser heat sink, whichever is greater.

This CCDP equivalent is 1.7x10-6 for both cases. Therefore, this event resulted in a precursor for Farley, Unit 2.

Dominant Sequence. The dominant accident sequence is TRANS Sequence 20 (CCDP

= 3.5x10-6) that contributes approximately 63% of the total internal events CCDP. Figure 1 in Appendix B illustrates this sequence. The cut sets and sequences that contribute to the top 95%

and/or at least 1% of the total internal events CCDP are provided in Appendix A.

The events and component failures in TRANS Sequence 20 are:

  • Feed and bleed cooling fails.
