1 PROC'EEDINGS This is Jeff Gasser-at-Mobile Unit 1.
I GASSER:
have a-site area emergency.
If you-could get the site area emergency work sheet please.
DICK:' OK,.you're at which plant?
GASSER:
Vogtle.
Notification time is current time at 0859 Central Standard time. - The facility is Vogtle.
This is unit 1.
My name is J.T. Gasser.
Call back number--
ENS is not working, so the call back number is (404) 554-6762. - The event time is--the declaration of the site area emergency is 08--
DICK:
I beg your pardon?
GASSER:
OK, the event time is 0840 Central Standard time.
DICK:
Say it one more time for me.
GASSER:
0840.
DICK: _ 0640.
OK, and you said site area
[
- emergency--

2 DICKt OK.
l GASDER:
At the time, our 1-B reserve auxiliary I
transformer was out of Larvice.
And our 1-B diosol gevorator was out of service.
DICK:
Which dionol?
(
GASSER Our 1-D diesel generator was out of j
s service.
Diosol generator 1-A started tied to (innudiblo) and then tripped, restarted, tied and tripped.
DICKt What is your power status now?
[
GASSER:
The reason for the (inaudible) because i
the-bano reserve aux transformers are diesel-generators.
Wo had a ross of power off-sito and on-sito AC power.
DICK:
OK a loss or all on-site and off-sito power.
GASSER On Unit 1.
DICKt OK on Unit 1.
GASSER:
Currently, at 0856, Contral Standard Time--
r L
DICK I nood to put you on the bridge and lot you l
brief our regional duty officar and our EO.
Ilold on.
GASSER:
Sure thing.
f DICKt I'll got him.
EFJIIE llello?
D'..;se t = Hold on pleaso sir.
EEWiEt Yes, sir.

~,,..,...
,._.,m.._.,
O DICK:
If you'll hold on just a second I'll have the regional duty officer on duty on th3 lino and you can f
i brief him please.
j GASSERt OK, that's fine.
ERNIE 11011o, is the duty officer thoro?
DICKt Yes, I am.
I'm in the headquarters operation offico.
I've not t>oen able to got the regional f
I duty officer.
ERNIEt OK, I nood to know what happened.
I DICK:
OK, go ahead with your brioting.
GASSER. Hollo, are you thoro?
-1 ERNIE Yos.
GASSER:
I'll start from the beginning.
At approximately 0820 contral Standard Timo thi.s morning, a truck backed into a power line tower in our uwitch yard.
j t
This caused a loss of our unit 1 A-train reserve aux transformer.
i ERNIE The A-train?
GASSER:
Yes, unit 1, A-train reservo aux transformer.
ERNIE OK.
[
. GASSER:
And unit 2, D-train recorve aux transformer.
ERNIE Unit-2, B-train?
GASSER:
Yes.
At the time, unit 1 is in mode 6 at

f i
i O
4 mid-loop.
ERNIEt unit 1, mode 6.
I GASSERt Also at the time the unit 1, B-train rosorve aux transformor was out of servico, and the unit 1, B-train diosol generator was out of service.
i ERNIE The !. train diosol, unit 1, B-train diosol t
was out of servico?
t GASSER That's correct.
When wo lost power to our 1-E bus due to the losc of the A-train rack, the A-train diosol gonorator started, tied to the bus and tripped.
ERNIE CK, so currently unit 1 in in modo 6 with no power?
l GASSER:
No, that's not correct, we havo restored f
power.
Lot me--
f ERNIE OK ycu testored it then?
GASSER:
Yeah, lot me--the diosol tiod--the diosol i
Started and tripped.tw1Co.
At 0856 Contral Standard Timo,
- f the diesel gonorator 1-A was tied to the bus and is currently _ supplying power to our A-train, 1-E bus.
ERNIE What=timo was it tied to tho bus?
GASSER:
0856 Contral Standard time.
j L
now is unit 2 in any way affected by ERNIE OK, this?
n GASSERt-Yes, unit 2 was at-100 percent powor.
l The loss of the 2-B, unit 2 B-train rack caused a reactor t.g era g.p se--

5 trip from 100 percent power on unit 2.
ERNIE And what's their situation with respect to power availability?
{
GA8CERI You mean off-site power availability?
ERNIEt You.
I i
i GABSER:
Unit 2 currently is being--the A~ train is being.poworod from it's A-train rosorve aux transformer, an l
off-sito power sourco.
ERNIE.I A-train, off-sito powor.
OK.
GASSER:
B-train in being poworod from the unit 2, B-train diosol generator.
j ERNIE:
What about the A-train diosol on unit 2?
Is it operable?
GASSER:
'Yes, the A-train dional on unit 2 is operable, but it is not required due to our A-train off-sito-power source.
ERNIE:
OK, so basically unit 2 doesn't have a-problem.
They've got off-sito power to one train and the diosol to the A-train, and also the diosol is operable for that train.
GASSER:
That's correct.
It affected our ability i
to carry load.
We caused (?) the roactor trip from 100 porcent, but ovarything on unit 2 is stable and there is no problem with power on unit 2.
ERNIE: 10K, and now what's the situation going O

.-e,_
. -.. -we
---,,r.-e...
-.-..--,-,e.--
i i
i O
e back'to unit 17 You have one diesol operablo and working.
Now is that supplying the load for unit 17 GASSER:
That's correct.
The A-train diosol i
i generator is operable and carrying the load on the A-train j
i bus-currently.
We are in progress of attempting to got our B-train reserve aux transformer restored.
ERNIE OK, and now long has unit 1 boon down?
. i GASSER:
-I'm sorry, say that again.
{
ERNIE:
How long has unit 1 boon out?
i GASSER:
Unit I has been shut down nince February 24th.
ERNIE!
February 24th, it's been shut down.
O GASSER:
That's correct, for refueling.
i ERNIEt Almost a month.
But you are in mid-loop?'
GASSER:
Yes, we just finished on Saturday.
Wo 9
finished our core reload refuel.
On Sunday the reactor (inaudible) head was sot and we're currently at mid-loop.
We're finishing mid-loop activities.
ERNIE Is unit 1 stable in all respects at this point in time?
GASSERt At this point in timo it is stable in all respects.
If you can hold on a second, let me just go got the status of-RCS temperaturo.
I can get you a peak temperature and be able to give that to you oK?
Hold on just a second.

ERNIE:
Yes.
GARY:
Is the region thoro?
MAN:
Yes.
s
i 8
ERNIEt Do you know if there's a resident at the site?
HAN:
There's not a resident at the site.
There is a (inaudible) from our division of reactor safety at the site.
We have a (inaudible) engineer who's about an hour and a half down the road at the head site.
I'm goi"g to route her up there right away.
GASSER:
OK, on unit 1 prior to the loss of power the RCF temperature was at 90 degrees.
It peaked at 136 degrees.
The temperature is now back to 100 degrees and stable.
ER!!IE:
Back to 100.
OK.
Let me ask you this--
)
are you still in the site area emergency?
GASSER:
Currently we are still in the site area emergency.
We anticipate our other reserve aux transformer to be re-energized in approximately ten minutes.
ERNIE:
We'd like you hold an open line with our operations center.
I assume that you--do you have a communicator there that could do that?
GASSER:
That's fino.
I'm a shift superintendent-
-I'm an SIA shift superintendent.
ERNIE:
Ar.d that won't interfor witta,your bandling a
1
- Jf the event?
e GASSER:
No, I'm not the person that's on shift.
I'm an extra at the baco so I can maintain communication
/
.m-
t i
i with you.
ERNIEt Gary are you-still on the lino?
[
l GARYt I'm hero.
l i
ERNIE:
OK, I think what wo should do at this point in time is drop it on another bridge with the regional eiministrator.
GARY Yoah.
ERNIE Can tho--Dick, do you hear us?
Dick i
Jallis (?)?
l i
DICK (Inaudiblo) on-the air.-
ERNIEt Ray or Dick, got us on a separate bridge j
so we can talk to the regional administrator and koop an open line with the plant.
DICK:
OK,.would you like to just call right back in and I'll start another.
ERNIEt Put the regional duty officer on the bridge with the regional administrator.
MAN:
This is (inaudible) Brockman in region 2.
I'm tho (inaudible) rosponsible for Vogtle.
Why don't you all give no about two to throo minutos to go route tho:
regional adninistrator.
I have 7:14 at the moment.
Why don't we say by my watch, give me six minutos, 7:20 by my watch.
I will have him available to take that call.
ERNIE:
OK, we're going to go ahead and toll our offico director hero--is the duty officer still thoro?
l t
10 DICK:
Headquarters is.
ERNIE:
You want us to drop off and call you back-i or can you switch us?
j DICK:
Drop off and give no a call back and I'll i
put you'on another bridge.
[
ERNIE:
OK, and I want Moralia on too.
j GASSER This is Vogtle.
Can you repeat back the notification time that you wroto down on the work shoot.
DICK:
0958.
CASSER - 0958.
That's Eastern timo, correct?
DICKt That's correct.
I GASSER:
OK-I'll hold the lino.
We'll try to got
.the bridges.back and bo back in approximately two minutos OK?
DICK; OK,-I'll be here.
GASSER:
Thank you.
ERNIEt Dick?
PHIL:
This is Phil.
i ERNIE Could you-find out from Vogtle when they got back on how long they woro without any AC power.-
PHIL:
OK I will.
ERNIE:
I didn't ask that question.
r PHIL OK if you'll drop off_and como back on,.
l
-I'll put you on with the regional administrator when he
[
calls in.

You just call in on 951-0550.
ERNIE I'm going off.
I'll come back on.
PHILt I'll have the regionn1 administrator and 1
get back to you with five.
j GASSER:
This in Jeff Gassar at Plant Vogtle.
Anybody on?
This is Jeff Gasser, anybody on?
(Large gap on Tape 1.
Probably where the first 5 pages of Tape 2 ran concurrently.)
TEXT FROM TAPE 2 INSERTED:
j ERNIE:
Hello is there anybody on this line?
Is Gary Zeck on the line again?
GARY:
Hoy Ernie I'm here..Donny Ross is here and Eric Weiss.
We're in the ET room.
You re in the ET room.
OK, I was gonna e
ERNIE suggest--we have now sont Rich Kendel and Angio Young into the op center and you have a couple of people there now, right?
GARY:
Yes.
ERNIEt OK, I think somebody ought to be--like maybe Eric ought monitor the ENS line with Vogtle, because-it sounds like they may get off-site power back shortly.
Denny Ross is with you also?
GARY:
Denny Ross ic here.
ERNIE!
OK.
O i
i l
t 12 GARY Jordan's down in region 2.
ERN.T E :
Down in regicn 27 DENNY:
He may be in there in the (inaudible) center by now.
CARY:
He's at the resident meeting down there.
So he's possible there with Sue Endbener (?).
4 ERNIE Currently, as I understand the Vogtle-unit 1 situation, they have one diesel operable.
GARY:
Right.
ERNIEt Apparently the plant stable is 100 degrees.
GARY:
Right, A-train diesel.
ERNIE And it also sounds like they may have off-site power-back in another ten minutes.
Now Denny are you
.there?_
DENNY:
Yeah.
ERNIEt
'We have a choice.
We can either go to stand by or we can wait a few minutes and see whether we need to go to stand by.
DENNYt Do we have any advice at all from region 2 as to what they want?
ERNIE We haven't found the regional administrator as yet.
DENNY:
We'll hand them (?) about three minuto if we believe what--
$k
?
Og 13 ERNIE:
And Moralia--they're supposed to be getting Moralia on to this bridge.
GARY:
Just a minuto Ernio.
Don't you think we ought to wait three minutes for the region (inaudible) to como in?
P ERNIE:
Yeah, I think so.
DENNY:
Yeah, we'll wait three minutes at Icast to see.
There ought to be somebody alive at region 2 that has some durthers (?) on this matter.
I just sat down and I
started reading the notes as to what the problem is.
GARY:
Why don't I give Denny what I know while we're waiting for Stu to got on the lino Ernie?
I think we could waste the few minutes we've got understanding the situation down there.
ERNIE (Inaudible) who was that that just--
GARY:
That was Gary.
ERNIE OK, fine.
Is there anybody on the line still?
GARY:
Yeah, wo're still here Ernie.
We were just talking.
DENNY:
There's no cross tie to unit 27 GARY:
We haven't asked that question yot if l
thora' s a cross tie or not, but they do have the A-train l-diesel and may get off-sito power back they estimate in about ten minutes.
RCS temperature was at 90 degrees beforo

O the loss of power.
It peaked at about 136 and brought it back down again to 100 degreos.
So it's stable at 100 i
degrees right now.
t DENNY:
Ernio?
Ernie are you atill thoro?
l ERNIE I'm here.
DENNY:
How I've got some guess as to what the 1
safoty problem was on unit 1.
I'd say that if we haven't got*:en anything from the region in three or four minutos
- hen I think stand by would be warranted.
I ERNIEt OK, fine.
I'm trying to got Moralia.
They should get Moralia on the lino.
DENNY:
And what I'd recommand is that we go ahead and give at a preliminary phono call to a few people tho reactor safety team just to make sure they're in their l
offico and ready to como in if we call them.
That mako sense?
ERNIE:
We already sont Rick Kondol.
GARY:
Kondel's the electrical type.
DENNY:
You could probably uso some kind of a systems type, somebody from--
GARY:
We'll got somebody from upstairs hero.
DENNY:
Yeah, I think Rosenthal can take care of some people for the next few minutos, just to kind of got warmed up.
ERNIE:
I agree with that and I assume yout O

I assume you have access to the i
information that's coming over the ENS lino.
Is that correct?
DENNY:
Eric Wolos is in the officor room monitoring it.
lle'll lot us know of course if anything changes from what he knew when we started-this.

LUIS This Luis Ruiz.
I'm the reactor satoty manager.
The regional administrator is on his way to tho (inaudiblo) pulso center.
ERNIEt OK, fine.
Donny Roso is on the bridge.
Donny are you there?
DENNY:
Yeah, and we'd liko Stu to check in whenover possible and we'll got that word to him ono way or
~
another.
O.
LUISt This is Luis.
Ed Hiller is on his way up here from his offico.
He should be in placo in a couple of minutos.
DENNY:
Have him check with the op contor as soon
./
as ho can so we can discuss what we're going to do versus what he's going to do.
1 LUIS:
OK, will do Donny.
Wo'ro going to koop the lino, we're going to be on the line and as soon'as Stu gets in--
- DEN'iY :
(inaudible) the routino EDO commissioner's assistance.
At what' point do you have to do that?
ERNIE:
At least I think we should start thinking about it shortly.
I think we ought to wait until the O
l l
l O
u decision for me to go one way or the othor.
We nood to make some other notifications too like to (inaudible) and DOE.
We're well past -hat threshold already, ERNIE:
Is Moralia on the lino yet?
DENNY:
I'm sorry, did you say region 2 Ernio?
ERNIE:
No, I was asking whether Moralia's on the lino.
The reason I'm asking for him is he's the acting offico director of HRR.
j DENNY:
Whoro's Tom?
ERNIE:
Tom is I think. In Oa.ifornia with Snoozic
(?).
MAN:
Downgradod to a alert because they've re-GARY:
Ernia wo just got word from Eric here that they downgraded to an alert since they've boon able to onorgize from off-sito.
ERNIE ' OK, I would assume if that's the caso that they now have one train supplied from off-site, the other train from the diosol and they're stable.
Ilollo?
DENNY:
Yeah they're stable.
It sounded like it's happening sort of contemporaneously so you might want to i
-wait a little bit to be sure that they'ro-really stable, i
ERNIE:
Well thoro's no question.
I think we ought to have some of the people that we have in the op center stay there for the next hour or so until wo know--

Oh, no question, because it's here, thero, and may be gone again.
ERNIEt Hollo Luis?
Luis Ruit?
LUISt I'm on the lino Ernio.
ERNIE:
Ok you understand that they have now down graded to an alert because they have some off-sito power back.
LUIS OK, could you briefly tell--Stu just walked in Ernio, so why don't you a lino, and Stu can join us and then we can talk about strategy.
GARY:
Ernio this is Gary.
Correction on that last.
They do not have off-sito power available.
They have two trains poworod from on-site.
ERNIE:
Trains from on-sito?
GARY:
From the other diesel I presume.
We're trying to got that information now.
But the off-site
question 11s still open.
DENNY:
They have one diosol available, 1-A the cet cores (?) operations officer.
ERNIEt So they havo one diosol available powering both trains.
DENNYt They're powering a_ bus and they down graded to an alert at 9:15.
ERNIEt And I assume they down graded to the alert because they have the one diesel running.

That's correct.

l LUISt flo's on the lino, hold on, i
STU:
llollo?
Ernio?
j t
ERNIE:
This is the ovents at Vogtle Unit 1, and Vogtle Unit 1 is currently in modo 6 and I gather they've been shut down sinco liko February 24th.
STU:
Yoah.
ERNIE:
Particularly.what happened was that they l
wont in to a sito area omergency because they lost both the on-site and off-site AC power and the way they managed to do that they had a truck back into a portion of the switch yard and that caused them to loso the A-train reservo aux transformer and then in additica to that they had some other equipment that was out of service, like the B-train diosol l
was out of service and D-train aux transformer was out of service.
But nonotholess, they woro without off-sito power and on-site AC power for some period of time.
I don't know exactly how long that was.
They then got the A-train diesel into service and I guess by tho timo I got on tho.line, they had that one back in service and we were told at that point in time that the plant was stable.
How unit.1 was also in mid-loop operation at the time and it's my understanding and that the reactor core system temperature started out at 90 degrees.
It went up and peaked at 136 degrees and then it O:.

20 got back to 100 degrees and the last I heard they were stable basically, with one diesel supplying power, no off-site power and the second diesel out of servico.
Gary are you there?
GARY:
Yeah, I'm still here and Denny Ross is hero also.
ERNIE:
Does my description of the event cover the portinent items?
GARY:
Yes.
ERNIE: Do you have any more information now?
^
GARY:
Yeah, they heated up 46 degrees in 30 minutes.
I think you got that?
GARY:
Eric Weiss has boon monitoring ENS--maybe you can confirm with him that there's one diesel operable on unit 1.
DENNY:
I think it was useful, what Ernio just said.
The heat reached 100 riegrees por hour and they're sitting at 100 degrees now, if they lose the dicsol again for example, they'd have at least an hour before they started boiling.
ERNIE:
Right, and they're in mid-loop.
Now I l
assume that the region is now hooked in through their L
_ incident response conter to the open ENS line.
I j.
MAN:
That's correct.

MAN - Yeah, just-a minuto.
Stand by.-
GASSER (?):
...a normal start from the control room.- At that time load jacket water pressure tripped it.
We then locally gave it an omorgency start signal.
On an omorgency start signal the load jacket water trip was by-passed.

There are a couple of other trips that are active.
We are currently monitoring all tremors on the diesel to insure proper operation.
2nd MAN:
You can only check the water pressure using ETT (?) right?
GASSER:
I'm sorry I couldn't understand that.
2nd MAN:
You're watching your load jacket water pressure on A generator now right?
0ASSER:
That's correct.
Phile we're tatching pressure, it is normal currently.
As I said, we're monitoring all other perimeters locally at the diesel since we're not sure what tripped it the first time.
2nd-MAN How long from the first trip to the second trip?
GASSER:
How long from the first trip to the second trip?
2nd MAN:
And then from the second to the (inaudible) how long?
GA3SER:
OK stand by please.
HILT:
This is Milton Shemlock, region 2.

(.us 2nd MAN:
Yes sir.
GASSER:
At 0820 was the first trip.
It was then restarted at 08/1 and it tripped again the second time and then at 0856 is when it was started and tied to the A-train bus.
2nd MAN:
We have region 2 on the line.
Could you go over what the plant status is now for region 27 GASSER:
OK.
Do you want me to begin with the initial event, or start with current plant status?
STU (?):
Would you give me current plant status?
I understand the diecci has tripped twice.
Give me a current plant status on the--
t 1
(_/
GASSER:
Current plant status is Unit 1 in mode 6 in mid-loop.
The A-train, 1-E bus is being carried from our A-train diosol generator.
We currently do not have off-sito AC power to our emergency busses.
STU:
Off-site is not available.
GASSER:
That's correct.
STU:
Why is that?
GASSER:
The initial--to begin with the B reserve aux transformer was tagged out for maintenance.
STU:
B was tagged out?
GASSER:
That's correct.
STU:
OK.
CASSER:
And A--the initiating event was the loss (yx-)
27 n
of the A wrap due to truck hitting a switch yard tower.
STU:
OK, I gotcha.
Downstream of the transformer, right?
GASSER:
I'm not exact 1.y auro of where it hit on the transformer.
I believo it van on the downstream side.
Right now, we're citrrently attempting to restore the 11 roscrve aux tranc--
STU:
I junt lost hita.
I lost everything.
MAN:
Yeah, they lost Mike and l'ete.
2nd MAN:
You've still go un and the headquartorn duty officer.
Currently at Kiplock (?) want no to tell you what's going on thoro?
They tried starting at 1:DD three timon.
The firnt time it tripped.
They don't know why, wan
/
8:20.
The second it tripped at 0:41 and that's on a normal start.
It tripped on load jacket water pressure?
GASSER:
That a correct.
2nd MAN:
And the third time was 8:56.
They had locally (inaudible) started the bua--
GASSER:
That's correct.
2nd MAN:
--which by-pasced the load jacket water pressure.
CASSER:
That's correct.
MAN:
Both trips are load jacket water right?
2nd MAN:
Oh no, the first one they don't know.
The second--
m l
t L,
h v
i 28 GASSER:
The first one is undetermined at this timo.
STU (?):
Both trips have boon by-passed?
The diesel is currently running?
GASSER:
It's by-passed due to the circuitry on the emergency start signal.
The load jackot water trip does not enable.
STU:
OK, why did it trip?
GASSER:
Why did it trip?
At this time we're not sure.
STUt You said it tripped the second timo?
GASSER:
Yeah, the second timo the trip was a load
)
jacket water pressure trip.
STU But you just said that the load jackot water trip is-sort of by-passed--
2nd MAN:
Any sort of diosol on normal start signal--
GASSER:
OK lot no explain.
A loss of off-sito power is considered a normal start signal.
A manual start from the control room is considered a normal start signal.
When the diosol rocoivos a normal start signal the load jacket water press trip is enabled.
STU So it did not got an omorgency start signal?
It just got i normal start signal?
-GASSER To begin with yes.
The first and second
l-O i
time were both normal start signale.
STU:
OK would you do no a favor and have the TFC manager--the TFC is manned at tho sito?
GASSER:
The TFC la manned yes.
STU:
hould you.have the TFC call a number.

MAN:
Start up to Unit 2 with 100 percent power?
GASSER:
Unit 2, car 2 was at 100 percent.
The event caused the loss of the E-train reserve aux transformer on Unit 2.
That caused a reactor trip from 100 percent.-

OK, the reactor vessel level is mid-loop-
-actually approximately one foot above mid-loop and it is being monitored by remote level indication in the control room.
MILT:
Remoto--is that with a site glass on a TV camera:or an ultrasonic, or what?
GASSER:
What we have done is through a temporary modification, hooked up actual level to a level transmitter

OK, so it took approximately one hour to get-the equipment hatch in place with four bolts on it, if I understand?
GASSER:
Correct.

Jeff?
I'm s./
sorry Paul?
PAUL:
Yes?
MILT:
Could you tell me do you have the capabilities to cross tie unit 2 buses to unit 17 PAUL:
I am not aware of that capability.
I believe when Jeff gets back on he will be--
MILT:
OK.
PAUL:
This is Paul at PSC.
MILT:
Yes Paul.
PAUL:
The report that I have is that we can tie them on the high side, but not on the low side.
I MILT:
You can cross tie them on the high side downstream, upstream of the transformers right?
But not

downstream?
PAUL:
That is correct.
MILT:
Tha:tk you.
Region 2 off line a minute.
GASSER:
This is control room back on the line.
I have an update on the status of the B reserve aux transformer.
Currently we have electricians investigating a possibility of burned fuses on the control panel to the circuit switcher to the B reserve aux transformer.
MILT:
OK, this is region 2.
I understand that you've got electricians checking out the possible blown fuses, understand.
PAUL:
Jeff?
GASSER:
Yes?
PAUL:
This is Paul.
GASSER:
Yeah Paul.
PAUL:
While you were off the air we had the question can we tie the units-together--
GASSER:
--as far as the racks?
PAUL:
Can'we tie the units together and I said I did not believe we had that capability.
GASSER:
I do not believe we have that capability.
Let me get off and just verify that.
(Inaudible) Paul, we do not have the capability of tying a unit 2 reserve aux transformer to a unit 1 bus, f-PAUL:
That's what I told them.

MILT:
Jeff, what emergency procedure or abnormal procedure are you currently in?
GASSER:
OK, let me check with the operator and verify and I'll be right back.
MILT:
OK, thank you.
GASSER:. Currently the procedure we are in is our abnormal oparating procedure, 18031.
MILT:
18031?
GASSER: (Inaudible) which is loss of Class 1-E 4160 bus.
O
(_/
MILT:
OK, could you find out what action is called for if you lose the unit 1 (inaudibic) generator?
GASSER:
OK, stand by.
OK, if we were to move the A-train generator, we would basically be in the same
- procedure as far as trying to restore power.
That would
- also put us back into 18,019.
MILT:
That would also get you.back into 18,019.
GASSER:
Which is the loss of RHR procedure.
And that procedure would give guidance as far-as trying to monitor RCS. temperature and ensure proper water' level.

I will find out.
The PFC has (inaudible) loss t o one. diesel and.they do have some preliminary plan of action.
MILT:
OK, if you get a chance in a few minutes could you kind of brief us on those preliminary-after
.they've. kind of gotten some kind of an idea?

What they're looking at in (inaudible) would Le to go to unit 2 and cross tie to non-1 E (inaudible) back over to unit l' rack..
MILT:
OK, tie back through the non-1 E system?
Cross over the non-1 E on unit 2 back-into unit 1?

What is the status of the water in the refueling canal?
GASSER:
The refueling cavity has been punped down.- There is no water in the refueling cavity.
MILT:
OK, so the refueling cavity.is empty.
GASSER:
That's correct.
PAUL:
This is Paul at the PFC.
The company is preparing a press release, however there are reports of one radio station having carried it.

OK, they have not issued a press release, l

They have not issued to official press release-yet.

Hey, uh, Paul?

Yes?
MILT:
I'd like to suggest that region 2 see that press release before it's issued.
PAUL:
OK, I will see about that.

Thank you.

I'm going off the line for a minute.

I'm going off the line too.
GASSER:
This is control-room back on.

Jeff are you back on the line?
GASSER:
Yes, this is Jeff.
MILT:
What's the current temperature of the prxmary system?
GASSER:
The current temperature is 102 degrees fahrenheit.
MILT:
102 degrees.
At what point in time have they calculated out that they'll have a problem?
GASSER:
Currently, we do not believe that we'll
(
- _.=.
50 have a problem as we do have a train of RHR running, recircling the RCS.
MILT:
OK, if they lost the diesel, how much time i
do they equate that they'd have before they'd have a problem?
GASSER:
The PFC might--are you there?
PAUL:
Yes, just back.
GASSER:
The question was, if we lost the diesel generator and then lost our running train of RHR, at what point in time do we believe we would have a problem?
PAUL:
We don't believe we've pursued--or figured that.
We'll look at that.
(d GASSER:
Yes I think we aaw a rate of temperature increase of approximately 40 degrees an hour, when we did not have the RHR running, so at that rate, we would exceed 140 dagrees approximately one hour e.fter the loss of the diesel.
~'
MILT:
OK.
GASSER:
That's also assuming that.e do not inject water into the RCS, which we do have the capability of doing if-we have to.
MILT:
Injecting, how?
GASSER:
Through our high (inaudible) injection system, our centrifugal charging pump.
f' MILT:
But if you lose the diesel, how are you e
V)
51 going to get power to it?
GASSER:
I'm sorry, that's--under the loss of diesel.
I believe we would be able to water into the RCS by gravity feed from our refueling water storage tank into the RCS though.
MILT:
Do you have a level in the RWC right now?
GASSER:
Stand by.
PAUL:
This is Paul in the PFC.
I passed on the request to view the press certification.
The press certification is being made in Birmingham, Alabama and your request has been passed on to them.
MILT:
Thank you.
GASSER:
Part of the SC level currently is 79 percent.
MI LT:
79 percent.
Could you tell me--hey Paul?
PAUL:
Yes?
MILT:
Could you tell me the difference in elevation between the reactor coolant system and the RWST at 79 percent level?
(END TAPE 1)
PAUL:
Come again?
MILT:
Would it possible to determine the difference it levels between the RWST and RCS at 79 percent levels, the current RWST?
GASSER:
I can tell you Paul to help you, the
-,--------ww---,c-----
i 52 number for the rector vessel frange (?) level is 194 - foot elevation, so then what ever the ground elevation is, plus the height at 79 percent.
You've got to have someone look at that, OK?
MILT:
Thank you.
GASSER:
Is the operation center there?
MILT:
Yes we are.

We have not ovacuated people at the site.
We have sont them to the accountability area parking lot for accountability purposes.
MILT:
OK, they did not ovacuato, but they did go to assembly for accountability?
PAULt That is correct.
MILT:
Thank you.
MAN:
They did not evacuato.
GASSER:
Paul?
PAUL:
Yos?
GASSER:
Something that might want to be clariflod
- is the site area requires evacuation.
By the time that we
()
got to that point we had power back and we downgraded to an alert.
By the tima--I believe that is the reason an i
evacuation wasn't performed.
MILT Right, I understand, linadquarters?
IIoadquarters?
11011o, who's on the lino?
PAUL:
Vogtle PSC.
GASSER:
Vogtle control room.
MILT:
OK, Jef f, Paul, this is Milt.
I was just wondering if somebody also was coming on.
PAUL:
This is Paul.
You were wondoring where the resident is?
We're trying to call him, but wo do not know-where he is.
l MILT:-
Paul, this is Milt in Atlanta.
Tho
,.. _.. _. ~,
68 resident inspectors are not on site.
They are in route.
I was trying to explain that to the headquarters person that asked, but they never did como back in and answer.
GASSER:- We do have a person with the NRC in the control room--!!orbert Whitner (?).
MILT Yes, I understand.
I understand from the reactor safety team that headquarters can hear but they cannot answer.
GASSER:
OK.
MILT Lot me givo you a status.
Just a second.
Wait one.
OK, headquarters, the question was asked if the i
resident' inspectors woro on site.
The answer to that question is no.
They were in the region.
Thoro was a region 2 inspector on sito, lierb Whitner, and was in the control room right after the ovont.
The resident--both resident inspectors, Ror. Iello (?) and Doug Starky (?) were in transit to the site within about 30 minutes after the
.. event.
A team with Luis Ruiz, Ken Brockman, Eldon Testa
(?), are in route.
Lee Tracine (?) was dispatched from llatch. - Was was at flatch and she is currently in route to the oito.
I do not know their ETA.
We also are in conversation right with Luis Ruiz on a mobile phone.
I will find out exactly-where he's located.
Luis is about a half an hour out of Atlanta.
Approximate time from Atlanta to the site from here is probably about two and a half hours--
~,
o e
no wait lot no s00, about three hours.
Probably three hours q
and fifteen minutes.
Ho left here about--they left Atlanta at 11:50 Eastorn.
Their ETA will probably be somowhero I
around 4--3 30 to 4.
If you have any questions headquarters, why don't you go through the reactor safety link if thoro's anything also we can help you with.

MILT Yos?
GASSER:
I wanted to fill you in on our plans for energizing the A-train bus on unit 1 from the B reserve aux
. transformer.
MILT:
OK, go ahoad.
GASSER _. Currently the A bus is being carried from the A diesel and the ARHR pump is in' service.
What wo want to do is insure that we do not have a problem that might cause it to loss RHR prior.to paralloling the diosol in the B rack on the A bus.
Wo'ro_ going to start the B RHR pump and bring it up and take A down and then we'll do the operation of paralloling the rack in the diosol to the A bus.
MILT:
OK.
GASSER:
Taking the diosol off.
At that time, we'll bring the ARHR back up again.
MILT:
OK, Lhank you, p

Sure.
MILT Why not leave the DRHR pump running?
CASSER:
Why not leave the DRl!R pump running?
MILT
- Yos.
GASSER:
We only nood one pump running and thoro really is no reason to have two Ri!R pumps actually running.
MILT There's no concern over (inaudible) pressure?
GASSER:
I'm sorry,-say that again?
Well at mid-
- loop, yes that :s one of the concerns.
It is best you have-
-when you're at mid-loop it's boat to have only one pump running and the other on stand by.
That way--
MILT Wait just a second.
I'm going to go off the line for just a second.
GASSER:
Suro.
PAUL:
Jeff, this is Paul.
Our status board just (inaudiblo) line is repaired.

MILT Region 2 back on the line.
Jeff?
GASSER:
Yos?
MILTt Let me ask you on other question.
Let me back up a minuto.
When wo initially talked about the plans for starting the B pump--
GASSER:
Yes.
MILT It was my understanding that they woro concerned about when they paralleled the A bus--wait a minuto let me get my drawing.
Just a second.
When you parallel the B bas to the A bus, that~you possibly would lose the RHR pumps.
Are you going-to start tho=B RHR pump and leave it running and then secure the A pump and then parallel and then secure thw diesel and put it in stand by, right?
C-ASSER:
Let me make sure that is the current status.
MILT OK.
GASbER:
OK the plan is once wo--we just started i
the DRHR pump.
Wc 'ili not take the A pump completely off O
..w.,;__--.__.-..._....
i t
0 73 while we make tha transfer.
Wo just want to insure that i
there either would be a problem during the transfer from tho l
diesel to the bus that wo would have the D-train pump i
running, OK7 j
MILT:
All right now on this--on the A diosol generator that you're going to put in stand by?
GASSER:
Yes?
MILT Is that not the one that keep tripping on jacket water temperature.
- GASSER:
That is the one that tripped.
That is Correct.
MILT - OK, when you put it in stand by, what
()
assurances--uhat are you going to do to guarantoo that it will'in fact start if it's noodod?
GASSER:
Paul has there been any discussions on that in there?
PAUL We haven't had any discussions.
My impression wee that we woro_ going to parallel it.
GASSER:
You mean that wo were going to continuo running it and parallol it?
PAUL:
That was my understand.
(Inaudible) OK
- we'll-got that straightened out, MILT:
Let.me know if you're going to keep it paralleled or whatever.
GASSER:
Sure thing we'll do that.
I'll be off

Yeah Jimmy.
JIMMY:
Who's on from NRC.
HILT:
This is Hilt Shemlock from region 2.
JIMMYt Yes sir, I heard you had some questions and I'm sort of jumping in the middle of things._
I'm back in the PSC.-
I'm the op supervisor from the PSC.
MILT:
OK, who is this?
(
JIMMY:
Jimmy Cash.
MILT OK Jimmy.
JIMMY:
Is-there some confusion about something?
GASSER:
Jimmy what we weren't sure of was once we'd gotten the A-train bus powered from the B rack, the plan is to leave the diesel and parallel it to the bus or shut the diesel down?
P JIMMY:
The plan is to shut the diesel down.
GASSER:
The question from NRC is, if this is the bus that we had trip on us twice, what assurances do we have that problem has been solved?
MILT:
What I was looking for Jimmy, is any kind of cnmp measures you were going to put in place--possibly O
_ _. _. ~., _.. _.. _ _ _ _ _
75 station an operator there or anything like that.
I'm sure you probably haven't done anything, but test stop.
JIMMY:
Right.
Right now we've go a systems engineer looking into it.
We were going to wait until we got recommendations from him, but once we started down and i
i get everything back in stand by alignment we will be using someone either out there locally or we'll have some type of justification from the system engineer.
MILT OK, will you give us that information before you secure that diesel please?
JIMMY:
Uh, no sir.
MILT:
Huh?
PAUL (?) :
No sir.
We need to go ahead and get the bus swapped over on the rack.
We need to get the d'iccol secure.
There's not a whole lot that you can tell about it with it running sir.
MILT OK, I understand.
PAUL (?):
Does that make senso?- The systems engineers--they've got to go in and look at the air systems they've got take a look at, the trip system.
I don't think t
that they can really tell anything about it with the diesel running.
But we will have an operator out there.
Correct Jimmy?
JIMMY:
Right.
GASSER:
Now what happens is that-the trips that O

76 took us out before were not escential trips.
The emergency start by-passes those trips.
MILT:
Right.
Are you going to put it in emergency start?
Will it be in normal stand by?
GASSER:
It will be in normal stand by but if we have a situation where we require the diosol to run, when it does not run we will have to stop the trip again so we can resolve what the problem is.
We can't always emergency start it.
MILT:
I understand.
Now the other question we had was the loads for the NFCW pump.
Is there any question or concern over the emergency buses being able to handle any c
of the loads that you possibly put on it?
GASSER:
No as a matter of fact one of the things that we're doing right now is insuring that we have enough load on the diesel.
MILTt OK.
What is the current load on it now?
If it's been running?
GASSER:
Stand by, let me get that for you.
Our problem is that we're down, you know--
MILT:
I understand.
GASSER:
--towards minimum load, instead of maximum load.
MILT:
I understand.
I'm going to go off the line for just a second.

The dicsol is loaded with probably 2,400 KW.
i MILT OK, thank you.

Is Jimmy still on the line?
JIMMY:
Yes sir.
f MILT:
Jimmy?
JIMMY:
Yes sir.
MILTt I don't do anything difforont than what you f
already planning on doing in reference to that diosol.
Just go ahead, we're just asking that question.
JIMMY Liko I say, we plan on swapping over the load and then' shutting down the diosol as soon as practical J
in the next 35'minutos to an hour.
MILT!
OK, thank you very much.

be shut down and then we will only be-running one train of l
RHR, once the diosol is shut down and we have the A-train bus poworod to the rack.

j GASSER:
Region 2?
MILT Yes?
GASSER:
This is Jeff Cannor in the control room.
I wanted to try to clarity something here.
Jimmy Cash came on kind of in the middio.
I wanted to make your questions were answered.
When wo shut down.the diosol generator, tho-problem we had with the tripping was on a circuit, a trip circuit that is not activo during an emergency start signal.
We did-plan on having a pEO out thoro along with the engineer, trying to trouble shoot that circuit, and if the diosol gonorator is required, we can omorgency start it and
()
have it como up and tio onto the bus.
MILT OK, that was the question.
GASSER:
And the question about the RhR train carlier?
MILT Yos?
GASSER:
Once wo do have the diosal shut down, wo do plan on shutting down the D-train RHR pump and only I
running the A-train RHR pump.
MILT OK.
GASSER:
Now that is--now really at mid-loop that I
is the optimum configuration that if you do have for nome reason a loss of suction occurred, that there would only be the one pump would be affected.
You'd still have the other i
79 pump available onco you regain suct. ion.
MILit I undorntand.
Thanka Jeff.

The A diesel generator is currently running.
Let me got the load for it.
Right now we've got about 4,000 KW load on-it.
Wo plan on running the diesel generator for approximately 45 minutos at about 4 load, 6,800 KW, sinco-it was run for a pretty good period at a lower load.
MILT:
OK, and that's on A right?
GASSER:
That's on A on unit 1.
That's correct.
MILT:
OK and D's doing what?

Description of event was reactor trip caused by turbino trip.
Cause of the turbine trip is being investigated.
BOBt OK.
GASSER:
Ultimately it was related of courso to the loss of the switcher in the switch yard, but how oxactly that caused the turbine trip is being investigated.
On the trip two reactor cooler pumps were lost due to the loss of the B-train--I'm sorry due to the loss of the B-train rack on unit 2.
