ATTACHMENT 1 SURRY POWER STATION, UNIT 2 DOCKET NO: 50-281 REPORT NO: 80-035/0lT-O EVENT DATE: 11-01-80

SUBJECT:

MOMENTARY LOSS OF EMERGENCY BUS

1. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT With the plant at 100% Reactor Power and Stable, Turbine Building floor prepa-ration was in progress for design change 77-19B. A Jackhannner breached the reserve station Service duct bank.and came in contact with an energized con-ductor. Breakers 15Fl and 262 opened clearing the fault and deenergizing the Unit 1 "H" emergency bus and the Unit 1 "J: emergency bus. EDG 1 and 3 started and loaded. The momentary loss of vital bus 2-lV caused the "C" feed REG Valve to Revert to manual and initiated a Turbine Runback. The ensuing high level on "C" Stearn Generator caused a 'I\,rbine trip and subsequent reactor trip. This event is reportable per T.S.6.6.2.a.(2).

2. *PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES & STATUS OF REDUNDANT EQUIPMENT This*event initiated an transient on the Emergency Power system however, the Emergency Diesel Generator performed their designed functions. Unit.No. 1 was in 2. CSD soncli.:.ion .and defuej_ed, hence there was no affect on the safety of Unit No. 1. Therefore the health and safety of the public were not affected.

3. CAUSE The location of the conductor was not accurately determined during the .design phase of Design Change 77-19B.

4. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION Ensured the Emergency Diesel G:enerators hadstarted & assumed their normal loads.

5. SUBSEQUENT CORRECTIVE ACTION The "F" transfer bus was fed from the Switchyard through "lC" Station Service Transformer pending repairs to the cables. The affected cables are currently being replaced.

6. ACTION TAKEN TO PREVENT RECCURANCE Requirements for* a specific ,release to drill or chip concrete .structural surfaces will be established.

7. Generic Implications None
