| Title | Both Diesel Generators Inoperable |
| Event Description | On Friday, April 20, 2018 at 1042 CDT, Braidwood Station Unit 1 was at 0 percent power in Mode 6. The 1A Diesel Generator (DG) was inoperable with troubleshooting in progress. The 1B DG was being run for a normal monthly run in accordance with 1 BwOSR 3.8.1.2-2, 'Unit One 1B Diesel Generator Operability Surveillance,' and subsequently tripped. The trip was due to a failure of the overspeed butterfly valve actuator and springs, and not an actual overspeed condition. The unit entered Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.2, 'AC Sources - Shutdown,' Condition B for required DG inoperable. All required TS actions were met at the time of the 1B DG inoperability. The offsite power source remains available. At no time was residual heat removal lost.
This event is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) for any event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to remove residual heat. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
