Notification of Unusual Event declared due … Notification of Unusual Event declared due to high winds. EAL HU 1.2 condition of peak wind in excess of 80 miles per hour have been met. Sustained winds at the present time are 53.5 miles per hour. Wind direction (from) 38.8 degrees. There has been no damage on-site. There are no plans to reduce reactor power on either unit at the present time. The Emergency Operations Center has not been activated.

After analyzing other wind speed instrumentation from the same time period, PG&E concluded that this reading did not accurately reflect meteorological conditions at that time. The next highest reading was taken at the 76m elevation on the Primary Meteorological Tower and indicated peak wind speeds of 23.7 m/s (53.0 mph). The Backup Meteorological Tower mechanical anemometers indicated a wind speed of 16.1 m/s (36.0 mph) for the 10m elevation, and 18.2 m/s (40.7 mph) for the 60m elevation. The Primary Meteorological Tower sonic sensors read both wind speed and wind direction with a single sensor. Concurrent with the Primary Meteorological Tower 10m wind speed spike, the 10m Primary Meteorological Tower wind-direction made a step-change from 153 degrees to 39 degrees. This step change indicated a value approximately 180 degrees opposite all other wind direction instrumentation indications.</br>PG&E made the initial reporting of this event assuming the wind speed indicator at the 10m elevation on the Primary Meteorological Tower was functioning correctly. Analysis determined that this instrument was not functioning correctly. PG&E troubleshooting found the sonic wind speed and direction sensors are vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Moisture was found in the body of a wind speed and direction sensor after it had spiked in the rain. The vendor confirmed that moisture on the circuit board could cause an interruption of measurement, which would cause the sensor outputs to read high. PG&E identified moisture intrusion as the presumptive cause of the wind speed spiking . PG&E has sealed all sensors to eliminate the vulnerability. Given the above, PG&E retracts this event report.</br>Notified the R4DO (Miller).bove, PG&E retracts this event report.
