| Title | Actuation of Emergency Diesel Generator System |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
At 2224 EST on February 15, 2024, with both units 1 and 2 in mode 1 at 100 percent power, an actuation of the emergency diesel generator (EDG) system on 1A-A, 1B-B, and 2B-B EDGs occurred while removing clearances. The 2A-A EDG did not start because it was still under a clearance. The reason for the emergency diesel generator system auto-start was clearance removal sequencing errors. The emergency diesel generator system automatically started as designed when the common emergency start signal was received. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the emergency diesel generator system. There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
The following information was provided by the licensee via email: In accordance with NUREG-1022, Section 2.8 and Section 4.2.3, Watts Barr is retracting the previous report EN 56970 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). The start signal for the 1A-A, 1B-B, and 2B-B emergency diesel generators (EDG)s was from activation of the common emergency start of the 2A-A EDG. The actuation was not from a loss of offsite power (LOOP) to any shutdown board or from any parameters that would initiate a safety injection (SI) signal, for which the EDG is designed to provide a design basis safety function. Also, the starts were not from intentional manual actuation. Starting the EDGs did not make them inoperable and each EDG was able to perform its design safety function. The common emergency start relay for each diesel is not safety related. It is an anticipatory and redundant circuit to start other EDGs in the event of a LOOP or SI related to the specific EDG. With the 2A-A EDG out of service, the associated common emergency circuit would not be required to perform any function. The starts were not initiated in response to actual plant conditions or parameters satisfying the requirements for initiation of the system. Since the starts were not initiated via an automatic signal from a LOOP, SI, or traditional operator action, the signal is not a valid actuation in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). Therefore, EN 56970 is being retracted. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of this retraction. Notified R2DO (Miller) |
