| Title | Unusual Event Due to Loss of Shutdown Cooling |
| Event Description | Monticello lost the 1R offsite power transformer due to an industrial accident that grounded the bus and resulted in a fatality of an employee onsite. At the time of this event, the 2R offsite transformer was already out of service due to a previous event (see EN#44484). This effectively resulted in a loss of all normal offsite power. The 1AR safety related offsite power source remained available and the safety related buses are energized and diesels are available. However, shutdown cooling was lost during the event due to a Group 2 isolation and cannot be restored. The shutdown cooling suction isolation valves #2020 and #2030 have power but until the Group 2 logic can be reset the valves cannot be reopened. The licensee needs to repower the RPS bus to reset the logic. Based on the uncertainty in reestablishing shutdown cooling an Unusual Event was declared based on Emergency Director judgment (EAL HU5.1). Current reactor coolant temperature is approximately 110 degrees with a heatup rate of about 20 degrees an hour.
State and local authorities and the NRC resident inspector have been notified. The licensee will likely be making a press release.
On Wednesday, September 17, 2008 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) experienced a loss of power to the station transformer resulting in a valid actuation of the following systems: Reactor Protection System (with the reactor shutdown), Containment Isolation, and Emergency Diesel Generators. The cause of the loss of power was due to contact of a 115kV transmission line by a manlift. A vendor employee was electrocuted. On-site Medical Emergency Response personnel responded until the individual was transported to North Memorial Medical Center. The individual was pronounced dead at North Memorial Medical Center. Notifications of offsite agencies and a media press release are in progress. 'This notification is being made in accordance 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) and 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).' Licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector." Notified R3IRC (Garza)
This is a follow-up to Event notification#44498. The station has completed notifications to off-site agencies and to the media. The station continues to troubleshoot and restore plant equipment and respond to media inquiries. NUE update - As of 1113 CDT shutdown cooling was restored." Notified R3 IRC.
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant exited their Notification of Unusual Event at 1100 CDT on 9/21/08. The exit criteria is supported on the following information: (1) This event did not result in the loss or potential loss of a fission product barrier and did not change the status of the current fuel condition. All three fission barriers are intact and were maintained throughout the event. (2) There were no radiation releases as a result of the event. (3) Restoration of plant loads including shutdown cooling onto a normal offsite power source (the 1R transformer) has been completed. (4) The 1R transformer offsite power source was recovered and is being protected. Protection of the 1R transformer will continue until availability of the other offsite power source supplied from the 2RS/2R transformers has been restored. (5) Shutdown cooling is in service. (6) The site organization challenges in response to the injury event and loss of decay heat removal are no longer present. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector, as well as state and local agencies. A media release will be issued. Notified R3DO (Stone), NRR EO (Galloway), IRD MOC (Clark), OPA (Burnell), DHS (S. Moore), and FEMA (D. Fuller). |
