| event text = On December 12, 2006, at 1322 PST, while conducting power ascension operations with Unit 2 at approximately 25 percent power, an electrical failure occurred in the Unit 2 circulating water pump motor enclosure (CWP) 2-1. A loud bang and explosion was reported to the Unit 2 control room. At 1322 PST, an electrical transient was experienced on Unit 2 12-Kv non-vital bus 'D' which in turn caused reactor coolant pump (RCP) 2-2 and RCP 2-4 motor breakers to trip on 12kV non-vital bus 'D' undervoltage, initiating an automatic reactor trip. The reactor trip signal was initiated when 2 out of 4 RCP motor breakers opened. All control rods fully inserted in response to the reactor trip and all plant systems functioned as required. The auxiliary feedwater system for Unit 2 was manually actuated per plant procedures, before an auto-start signal for this system was generated. At 1356 PST, DCPP Fire Department first responders reported that the fire was out. | | event text = On December 12, 2006, at 1322 PST, while conducting power ascension operations with Unit 2 at approximately 25 percent power, an electrical failure occurred in the Unit 2 circulating water pump motor enclosure (CWP) 2-1.
