CONDITIONS PRIOR TO OCCURRENCE:

MODE 6 (REFUELING) .

DESCRIPTION OF OCCURRENCE:

On April 6,1983, an Engineered Safeguards Motor Control Center breaker (8BR on ES MCC 3B1) short circuited causing various pieces of required equipment on ES Train B to be inoperable.

At the time that this event occurred, Emergency Diesel Generator A (EDG-A) had been removed from service to perform maintenance. Thus, the redundant systems (ES Train A) powered by Emergency Bus A were unable to be powered fron; an operable Emergency diesel generator.

Attached is a list of the equipment affected, applicable Technical Specifications, apparent causes, corrective actions and the significance of the loss of this equipment.

DESIGNATION OF APPARENT CAUSE:

This event was caused by personnel error. The breaker connectors were not properly aligned, causing the breaker to short circuit.
