At 1900 hrs on 8/17/06, all four EmergencyAt 1900 hrs on 8/17/06, all four Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) were declared INOPERABLE. The inoperability is a result of undersized control transformers for each of the Emergency Diesel Generator Service Water (DGSW) Pumps. The concern is that the DGSW pump contactors will not receive adequate voltage at the starters to ensure the starters pickup under degraded voltage conditions. A 2 hour Limiting Condition for Operability (LCO) was entered per LCO 3.8.1 to restore both EDGs in one division to OPERABLE status. At 2100 hours on 8/17/06 the two hour time requirement expired and a 12 hour LCO to place the plant in Mode 3 (Hot Shutdown) was entered.</br>At 0042 hrs on 8/18/06, compensatory measures have been put in place to restore operability to both division 2 EDGs. The compensatory measures include placing the local control switch for both division 2 DGSW Pumps in run. Placing the local control switches in run ensures sufficient voltage will be available at the starters to ensure the starters pickup following a loss of offsite power, load shed, and restoration of power to the applicable busses. With operability restored to division 2 EDGs, the new expiration time for the LCO has been revised to 72 hours based on discovery of one or both EDGs in one division inoperable concurrent with CTG 11-1 (station blackout Combustion Turbine Generator 11-1) not available. After 72 hours, if operability is not restored to either CTG 11-1 or both division 1 EDGs, the plant will be required to enter Mode 3 within the following 12 hours.</br>This report is being made pursuant to 10CFR50.72.(b)(3)(v) as an event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to (A) Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition; (B) Remove Residual Heat; (C) Control the release of radioactive material; or (D) Mitigate the consequences of an accident.
