PRECURSOR DESCRIPTION SHEET LER No.:

Description:
Date of Event:
Plant:
389/86-011 Emergency power system is unavailable July 9, 1986 St. Lucie 2 EVENT DESCRIPTION Sequence At 0854 h the 2-A emergency DG was started for a surveillance test conducted once every 7
- d.
The 2-A DG failed to meet the required generator voltage and frequency within 10 s after the start signal.
One of the two engines in the 2-A DG set had failed to start.
The 2-A DG was manually tripped by the operator at 0856 h.
At 0915 h the redundant 2-B DG was started.
At 0917 h, 2-B DG was stopped because an operator observed 1 of the 12 cylinder cooling fan blades rubbing the cooling fan shroud.
The unit remained at 100% power throughout this event.
Corrective Action 2-B DG was repaired and returned to service at 1059 h.
Trouble-shooting of the 2-A DG revealed a problem in the mechanical portion of the Woodward governor.
The problem was corrected, and 2-A DG was returned to service at 2010 h.

Comments LER 389/86-011 states that the fan rub associated with DG 2-B was minor.
If the fan rub was minor in the sense that even with the fan rub, the DG would have operated for its mission time, then the emergency power system unavailability should be based on the maintenance unavail-ability period (-1 3/4 hours).
- However, if the fan rub was minor in the sense that it was easily repaired, but with the rub the DG would not have operated for its mission time, then an emergency power system unavailability based on the surveillance period is warranted.
Since it is not possible to distinguish between these two cases based on informa-tion provided in the LER, a more conservative estimate based on surveil-lance internal was assumed.

For unavailabilities, conditional probability values are differential values which reflect the added risk due to failures associated with an event.
Parenthetical values indicate a reduction in risk compared to a similar period without the existing failures.
