Subject:
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)
Units1,2, and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-528/529/530 License Nos. NPF41/51/74 Licensee Event Report S840340 Attached please find Licensee Event Report (LER) 98-00340 prepared and submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73. This LER reports an unanalyzed condition which exists when the automatic fast bus transfer capability is blocked to prevent the, transfer of non-class plant equipment from the unit auxiliary transformer to the startup transformer.
Fast bus transfer would typically occur following a main turbine/main generator trip. Atthe time of the event, the fast bus transfer was'in automatic (i.e., not blocked) and the units were being operated in an analyzed condition and have since been.
This LER does not contain any
commitments
In accordance with 10CFR50.73(d), a copy ofthis LER is being forwarded to the Regional Administrator, NRC Region IV. Ifyou have any questions, please contact Daniel G. Marks, Section Leader, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs, at (602) 393~92.
