| ENS 50142 | 25 May 2014 07:30:00 | At 0702 EDT on 5/25/14, Millstone Units 2 and 3 experienced a loss of offsite power and subsequent trip of both units. An Unusual Event was declared by Millstone Units 2 and 3 at 0715 EDT. Power is currently being supplied to all emergency busses by the emergency diesel generators. Offsite power is not available.

A decision was made to take the NRC to monitoring mode at 0749 EDT with Region 1 in the lead. Notified DHS SWO, FEMA Ops Center, NICC Watch Officer, DOE Ops Center, USDA Ops Center, HHS Ops Center, and Nuclear SSA via email.
