| Title | After-The-Fact Notification of Unusual Event |
| Event Description | Unit 3 experienced Loss of Offsite Power due to lockout on Unit 3 Startup transformer. The 3B EDG auto started and loaded on the 3B 4KV Bus. The 3A Sequencer was out of service and prevented the 3A EDG from auto starting and supplying 3A 4KV busses. With only 3B 4KV bus powered from an EDG and no offsite power to Unit 3, Unit 3 entered an Unusual Event.
Core cooling was restored with 3B RHR pump at 2343 EST. At 2350 EST, 3A 4KV Bus was manually loaded onto 3A EDG and conditions for Unusual Event were terminated. Additionally this is a non-emergency eight hour notification in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A), for a valid automatic actuation of the 3B Emergency Diesel Generator. While core cooling was lost, the core experienced a 3 degree heat up. Spent fuel pit cooling has also been restored. The cause of the transformer lockout is under investigation. Unit 4 was unaffected and continues to operate at 100% power. The licensee has notified state and local authorities about this event. The licensee has also notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
