Title | Invalid Actuation of Emergency Diesel Generators |
Event Description | This 60-day telephone notification is provided in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1) to report an invalid actuation of the Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs) reportable under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A). Due to the shared configuration of the onsite AC Electrical Distribution System, this event is applicable to both Units 1 and 2.
On March 4, 2013, at approximately 0804 EST, while performing a planned maintenance activity associated with the Unit 2 Start-Up Auxiliary Transformer (SAT), the SAT lock-out relay was inadvertently energized. This occurred when a Transmission Maintenance electrician closed the fault pressure device oil isolation valve without having previously opened the fault pressure cutoff switch. This action resulted in energizing the SAT lock-out relay and, per design, started all four EDGs. All four EDGs started and operated as expected. Because electrical power was never lost to the emergency busses and none of the EDGs loaded to their respective emergency busses, the actuations were considered to be partial. The EDGs were returned to their standby line-up by 1023 [EST] hours on March 4, 2013. Since no actual bus under voltage condition existed which required the EDGs to start and the start was not in response to actual plant conditions satisfying the requirements for initiation, this event has been classified as an invalid actuation. This event did not result in any adverse impact to the health and safety of the public. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
