VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - UNIT 1 TECIINICAL SPECIFICATION SPECIAL REPORT 1-93-2 INVALID DIESEL GENERATOR 1 A FAILURE A.
REQUIREMENT FOR REPORT This report is required in accordance with the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Technical Specifications (TS), section 4.8.1.1.3, which requires all diesel generator (DG) failures, valid or invalid, be reported to the Commission in a special report pursuant to TS 6.8.2.
B.
DESCRIPTION OF INVALID FAILURE OF DIESEL GENERATOR 1A On March 25,1993, DG 1 A was removed from service for a scheduled 5-year inspection.
Following the inspection, the DG was prepared for operation by priming the fuel oil lines.
On April 6,1993, an attempt was made to start the DG; however, the DG failed to start due to the fuel oil header not being completely primed and engine speed being increased too '-
slowly. A subsequent start attempt was successful because the fuel oil header was adequately primed, and the speed govemor had been adjusted to allow increased engine speed. The DG.
was returned to service on April 7,1993.
C.
SUMMARY
This event had no effect on the DGs ability to provide emergency power because it had not -
been returned to standby service. Diesel generator I A has experienced 1 valid failure in the -
last 2.0 valid tests and 4 valid failures in the last 100 valid tests. The test frequency remains at once per 31 days in accordance with the requirements of TS table 4.8-1.
