Even though DG-2 did properly start at 1616 hours0.0187 days <br />0.449 hours <br />0.00267 weeks <br />6.14888e-4 months <br /> on April 27,1976, it was administratively deemed inoperable since the primary air start motor failed to disengage at 100 rpm. At 1620 hours0.0188 days <br />0.45 hours <br />0.00268 weeks <br />6.1641e-4 months <br /> DG-1 was started and run to ac=onstrate operability. While DG-2 was inoperable off-site 161 KV power was operable and supplying engineered safeguards buses lA3 and 1A4 with off-site 345 KV power available to buses lA3 and 1A4 should the 161 KV supply fail. In addition, DG-1 would have supplied bus lA3 (DG-2 feeds bus IAb) j had all off-site power been lost. There were no inoperable engineered safe-l guards components associated with bus lA3 while DG-2.ias inoperable. All requirements of technical. specification 2.7.(2)i were satisfied, plant safety was not jeopardized end no limiting condition for operation was j
violated with DG-2 inoperable.

Attach =ent No. 2 Corrective Action The magnetic sensing unit for the svitching tacho =eter (speed switch) had been removed on April 27, 1976, so that routine =aintenance could be per-formed on DG-2 cir start motors. This sensing unit is in close proxi=ity to the air sta.rt motors and interferes with accessability for air start motor maintenance. After co=pleting =aintenance on the air start motors, DG-2 was started to prove operability. This start was called for by pro-cedure. After sensing 100 rp= the speed switch generates a per=issive signal to disengage the air start =otors.
Ecvever, due to the improper air gap setting, the speed switch failed to generate this per=issive and the air start motors consequently did not disengage. The air gap for the magnetic pick up unit was properly set and DG-2 successfully started with proper disengagement of the air start motors at 1710 S ours on April 27, 1976 (see Maintenance Order No. 10918). The error was procedural in that the maintenance procedure did not call for checking the air gap setting whenever the speed sensing unit is re-installed. Hereafter this setting vill be checked.

LER 78-02k O=aha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Docket No. 05000285 ATTACE ENT NO.1 Sa'ety Analysis The Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Engineered Safety Features Syste=
is so designed that no single failure can prevent the safe shutdown of the plant if required.
During the time Diesel Generator No. 1 was inoperable (during repair and testing), Diesel Generator lio. 2 was operable and both the 161 Il and 3h5 El supplies vere available.
During the period of trouble shooting and testing on August 9, 1978, with the exciter manufacturer and subsequent testing on August 30, 1978, as recc== ended by the exciter manufacturer, the following infor=ation was discovered:
(1) During the initial one hear run which lead to the failure of Diesel Ger.erator No. 1, it was noted the_ generator out-put current centinued to increase t'hroughout the entire run vithout any operator action.
(2) A bench test of the reference cener diode showed continual drift up.
This vas the cener which was replaced and reported in IER 78-022. The drift was within =anufacturer tolerance. 'Ihe original diode was the.~sily co=pensated and exhibited a smaller drift, however, this exact replace-
=ent is no longer =anufactured.
(3) At the time the failure occurred, the generstor exciter was d
approx -ately at its =axi=u= long time ex1tation 14'40, which was approaching the saturation limits of the machine.
(h) The gener-- A- ;(p ec=pensation is vired to boost cuErent if generator current-increases, rather than a nor=al machine set up for parallel operation on a bus, in which the droop co=pencation tencis to limit current.
Based on the data and info:=ation collected during testing and trouble-shooting Diesel Generator No. 1, the following hardware and procedure changes vere instituted:
(1) The cener diode referenced earlier was changed out to a 5C'4 cener diode to provide g eater stability.
"he subsequent test showed the clicde did drift but to a =uch smal' er extent than the 10'4 cener.
(2) The generator exciter circuit vas designed to provide naxi-3
-"- cur ent boost in stan ing the Engineered Safety Features Loads. As a result of this, when paralleled to the bus, the i

C=aha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Docket No. 05000235 ATTACI ETT NO. 1 (centinued) 2 drcop CT influence on the regulator operation may not be able to be ec=pensated for by a change in terminal voltage on the =achine '(parallel operation vill result in small ter=inal voltage changes with excitation and large current changes or power factor changes).
To li=it current output of the generator, administrative centrols have been placed on the machine during parallel operatic to limit the current to below h00 amps at 2500 II (which is away frc= the saturatics region of the
=achine). A ce=putercalar= for the generator has also been provided to alar = at k00 a=ps.
In discussing this problem with the exciter =anufacturer and based on the test data,it has been deter =ined that though. the generator failed when paralleled to the bus, at no time vas it inoperable, if required, to perfer: its design function for Engineered Safety Feature operation.
Ecen the generater is operatec carrfing the ESF loads, after the. initial lead = starting, it vill provide c=1y the current required to maintain the lead.
Acy shift of the excitar circuit vill result in a drift of ter--
=inal voltage and a small drift-(4V/Z) of current, negating the droop cc=pensation effect.
The failure during parallel operation was deter =1=ed to result frc=
tvo areas; the drift of the cener diode and a small load change on the bus during the generator test.
The cener diede drift and bus condition resulted in the generator being at approxi.-ately the =2xi=um long time excitation limits.
Any s=all voltage dec ase or lead increase en the-bus at this time vould have required = ore current out of the generator, resulting in the drcop circuit positive feedback, increasing excitation vith little er no negative feedback frc= the exciter's voltage input.
At this tire '% ~M e vent to =axi=u= excitation and blev the field protection fuses.
The generator vas subsequently retested and the current was. limited belev h00 a=ps.
No proble=s vere encountered and no further action is anticipated.

n LIa 78-03S C=aha Public Power District Fcrt Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Docket No. 05000285 Attachment No. 1 Safety Analysis During testing of the newly installed OPLS syste=, the failure of contacts27-27C en the auto close breaker = ode switch (h3-1/1AD2) vas discovered.
Had the mal-function not been discovered during this special test, it vould have been dis-covered during the surveillance testing of the engineered safeguards system per ST-ESF-6.
At the time of the failure, the plant was in a refueling shutdown condition.
In addition to the redundant generator, DG-1, which was fully operational,161 and 3k5 K7 power was available frc= off-site. The failure could have occurred during power operations, hence the reasen for i=nediate reporting.
The failure was not annunciated since the ala:n is connected to different contacts of the switch.
The problem vas corrected by moving the vires frc= contacts27-27C to spare con-tacts25-25C en the same switch.
This problem is considered an isolated case.
Ec Jever, to insure the problem does not occur in the future; positive verifica-tien of contact position and closure vill be made if possible on the six mode s dtches (breaker mode svitches h3-1/1AD1&2, breaker protection = ode switches h3-3/ LAD 1&2, and diesel mode switches h3-1/D1&2) prior to operation above 30C F.
Unless futu e failures dictate ctherwise, no further action is anticipated.

LER 80-014 Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 Docket No. 05000285 ATTACHMENT N0. 1 Safety Analysis The Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Engineered Safety Features
- System is so designed that no single failure can prevent the safe shut-down of the plant if necessary.
During the time diesel generator DG-1 was inoperable, diesel generator-DG-2 was operable as were the 161 KV and 345 KV supplies thus providing more than adequate capability for safe shutdown of the plant should the unlikely event of an accident occur.
It should be pointed out that DG-1 was considered inoperable only during the time that the transformer was being changed out since this transformer only feeds the oil immersion heater for DG-1 and associated annunciation.
Should the need have arisen, DG-1 would still have automatically started per engineered safeguards and performed its design fur.ction as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

LER No.80-014 Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1
-Docket No. 05000285 ATTACHMENT NO. 2 Corrective Action M.C. #6421 was written to replace the failed Westinghouse 480/.20, 100 '.'a, Model 2-F-47-1 transformer.
Since Westinghouse no longer manu-factures this transformer, (it was superseded by their model.lF0892) and no exact duplicate / spare was available, it was replaced using an equivalent GE 100 Va, 480/120 salt transformer.
Upon replacement, the diesel was tested satisfactorily for operation as was all transformer related circuitry and the diesel DG-1 was returned to service.
As a further note, the Westinghouse model 1F0892 transformer which has superseded the failed model 2-F-47-1, and is electrically equivalent or superior to the model 2-F-47-1 has been ordered and will be installed in DG-1 circuitry as soon as procurement allows.

LER No.80-028 Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 Docket No. 05000235 Attachment No. 1 Safety Analysis The Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 is so designed that no single failure, by itself, can adversely affect the ability of the plant to safely shutdown in the event of an accident.
During the time DG-1 failed to start (automatically), the 161ky and 345kv offsite power feeds were energized and available.
In addition, the redundant diesel generator CG-2 was verified to be operating correctly and it was further verified that no other engineered safeguards components associated with DG-1 were inoperable.
As such, the consequences of an accident would have been more than adequately mitigated had the unlikely event of an accident occurred.

LER No. S0-028 Omaha Public Power District Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 Docket No. 05000285 Attachment No. 2 Corrective Action M.0. #7757 was written to investigate reasons for diesel generator DG-1 failure to start upon the second actuation of the Channel "A"
full speed switch, as well as, the failure to get the buzzer, simulating the diesel is ready-to-load, when the ready to load light came on during the first actuation of the Channel "A"
full speed test switch.
As a result of this maintenance investigation, diesel emergency start circuitry was checked for loose wires, bad or faulty relays, failed or stuck switch contacts, etc.
However, the results proved negative in that no probable cause of the diesel failures mentioned above has been positively deter-mi ned.
In addition, a diesel air compressor was found to be operating improcerly, but still mainta'.ning adequate pressure to accommodate a diesel start.
After all applicable items had been checked, and found to be in operating order, the diesel generator DG-1 was again tested for operation per the channel "A" full speed test switch. The diesel s.arted ar.d was
" ready-to-load" within the prescribed time limit.
Therefore, the failures of the diesel to start have been undeter-minable.
