CALVERT CLIFFS Diesel Gen ~e'rator Failures-1.

~

An incident occurred on June 3, 1982 which iesulted in.the loss of all

-(three) diesel generators at Calvert Cliffs. With.Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 in a refueling outage, Diesel Generator #11 (Unit 1) was removed from service for maintenance.

In preparation for performing maintenance on a service transformer, the remaining diesel generators (f12 (swing) and

  1. 21 (Unit 2)) were tested.

At approximately 5:30 AM, diesel generators

  1. 12 and #21 were shown to be operable. At approximately 6:30 AM #21 diesel generator tripped and #12 diesel generator was started.

At approximately 7:00 AM #12 diesel generator tripped and thus all diesel generators were temporarily inoperable.

Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 was operating during this time.

At approximately 8:00 AM, diesel generators.

s.12 and #21 were declared operable.

The cause of the incident was related to the paralleling of the diesel generators with buses that were being powered from an off-site source.

The licensee is investigating this incident
