root cause for the failure of DGIA has not been con after the first trip because the annunciators were reset before condition was fully evaluated.

This logic allows the DG to timed sequence of the group 2 block logic. The block achieve operating conditions before the trips become active.

E. ANALYSIS OF EVENT The loss of offsite power to Class IE bus IBA03 and the failure of DGIA to start and operate successfully, coupled with DGIS and RAT IB being out o service for maintenance, resulted in Unit I being without AC power to both With both Class IE busses deenergized, the RHR System Class IE busses.

- 3. The Refueling Water Storage Tank could have been used to manually i establish gravity feed to the RCS to maintain a supply of cooling water to the reactor.
Consequently, neither plant safety nor the health and safety of the public was adversely affected by this event. A more detailed assessment of this O event and an assessment of the event had it occurred under more severe circumstances will be performed and included in a supplemental LER. l F. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
- 1. A management policy on control and operation of vehicles has been established.
- 2. Temporary barricades have been erected with signs which direct authorization for control of switchyard traffic to the SS.
- 3. The Loss of Offsite Power (LOSP) diesel start and trip logic has been modified on Unit I so that an automatic ' emergency" start will occur i
upon LOSP. Therefore, non-essential diesel engine trips are blocked upon LOSP. The Unit 2 DG's will be modified by 4-30-90.
- 4. The DG1A test frequency was increased to three times per week until 4-20-90 when the test frequency will be changed to once every 7 days in accordance with Technical Specification Table 4.8-1. This frequency 2
will be continued untti 7 consecutive valid tests are completed with no Including the more than one valid failure in the last 20 valid tes~ts.
two valid failures of this event, there have been a total of four valid
