| event text = On January 15, 2013 at 2112 EST while performing testing associated with the remote shutdown system at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, an unexpected loss of the 10600 bus 'B' division AC vital power system occurred. This loss of power to the 10600 bus resulted in an automatic actuation of the 'B' and 'D' Emergency Diesel Generators. The diesel generators started as expected, but did not close in to energize the 10600 Bus due to the configuration at the time of the event. As a result of the loss of the 10600 bus, the 'B' Reactor Protection System (RPS) lost power resulting in a half scram signal and a Group II Primary Containment Isolation System (PCIS) actuation. This actuation resulted in closing containment isolation valves in multiple systems and isolating Reactor Water Clean-Up (RWCU). Based on these system actuations, the event is reportable under criterion 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv). | | event text = On January 15, 2013 at 2112 EST while performing testing associated with the remote shutdown system at the James A.

Power to the 10600 Bus was restored January 16, 2013 at 0400 EST, and the half scram and isolation signals have been reset. Additional actions to restore systems to a normal operating line-up are on-going. Investigation into the cause of the unexpected power loss is on-going and will be addressed through the corrective action program. | Power to the 10600 Bus was restored January 16, 2013 at 0400 EST, and the half scram and isolation signals have been reset.
