SUBJECT:
REACTOR TRIP AND PLANT SHUTDOWN CREATER THAN 48 HOURS On December 24, 1986, at approximately 8:10PM, MST, Palo Verde Unit 2 tripped from 100%
powar. The cause of trip is believed to be due to an electrical malfunction on the "B" Vital bus. Plant Protective Systems and Engineered Safety Features System are powered from that bus and portions of those systems were deenergized due to the malfunction.- In addition-to the Reactor Trip, actuations of the Safety Injection, Containment Isolation, Main. Steam Isolation. Auxiliary Feedwater 1, and Recirculation Systems occurred. A definitive cause of thi electrical malfunction is currently under investigation and the licensee intends on
. maintaining the unit in Mode 3 until the cause has been identified and the Post-Trip review h2s been completed.
A press release was issued by the licensee.
This information is current as of 9:30 AM (MST) December 29, 1986.
