Title | Loss Of 230 Kv Offsite Power Results In The Automatic Start Of Emergency Diesel Generators |
Event Description | At 2120 PDT, Diablo Canyon Power Plant experienced a loss of the offsite 230 kV startup power source due to an offsite transmission system relay actuation, resulting in valid anticipatory starts of Units 1 and 2 three emergency diesel generators on each unit. All diesels successfully started but were not loaded. All systems operated as designed with no problems observed.
The 230 kV startup power source is the only offsite power system designed to be immediately available following an accident. However, the safety related onsite emergency diesel system would have provided power to mitigate the consequences of an accident while the 230 kV was unavailable. Restoration of the 230 kV offsite power system is in progress." The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
230 kV was restored to Operable on 06/24/13 at 0200 PDT. Normal 500 kV Offsite Power remained operable and was unaffected by this event. Following further review, Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) has determined that the loss of the 230 kV system was not a condition that could have prevented fulfillment of the safety function of a system credited to mitigate the consequences of an accident. This power source is not considered to be a safety-related system that is credited to mitigate any accident as described in the DCPP UFSAR, Chapters 6 and 15 accident analyses. PG&E concludes that the emergency diesel generators are the only power source needed to fulfill the accident mitigation function, and they did not become inoperable as a result of this event. The licensee will be notifying the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO (Werner). |
