| Title | Technical Specification Required Shutdown Due to Loss of Both Trains of Safety Injection |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the licensee via facsimile:
1. SYSTEMS AFFECTED: High Pressure Safety Injection (HPSI), Low Pressure Safety Injection (LPSI), Recirculation Actuation [System] (RAS), Containment Spray (CS). 2. ACTUATIONS AND THEIR INITIATING SIGNALS: None 3. CAUSES: 400 [volt] Motor Control Center (MCC) 3BE deenergized due to an overcurrent condition on the 'A' train 1E bus. 'B' train equipment is cleared for maintenance causing Technical Specification 3.0.3 entry. 4. EFFECT OF EVENT ON PLANT: Both trains of Safety Injection equipment inoperable with no flow capability requiring plant shutdown. 5. ACTIONS TAKEN OR PLANNED: Shutdown commenced at 0410 [PST]. MCC 3BE is stripped and loads will be checked for faults while attempting to restore the bus. Train 'B' equipment will be restored as soon as possible. Continuation Sheet: Power/Mode will be reduced per T.S. 3.0.3 action until MCC 3BE loads restored or Tr[ain] 'B' equipment returned to service. [Plant required to be in] Mode 3 [within] 7 hrs, Mode 4 [within] 13 hrs. [and] Mode 5 [within] 37 hrs. No abnormal electrical lineups. No effect on Unit 2. LPSI pump/valves will need to be restored to allow Mode 5 entry. Plant personnel suspect a problem with the 1E bus feeder breaker. A new breaker will be installed after testing is completed. Bus loads are in the process of being checked for problems. At the time of the initial call, plant power was at 80% and decreasing at approximately 10% per hour. At 0939 PST, plant power was at 71% and decreasing. The 1E bus have been meggered with no problems found. Battery chargers are currently not operating due to loss of the buses but not expected to be a problem since DC loads are very low during mode 1 operations. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
