| Title | 60 Day Optional Notification of Invalid Start of Emergency Diesel Generator. |
| Event Description | This report is being made per paragraphs 50.73(a)(1) and 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to address an actuation of the 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator on 4/24/11 while performing a test of the diesel generator load and safeguard sequence. Emergency AC Electrical Power system including Emergency Diesel Generators is a system named in 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(6).
On 4/24/11, at 2144, [hrs. EDT] while testing the continuity of relay SI-20X that is part of the test of diesel generator load and safeguard sequence, an unexpected partial Safety Injection signal occurred. The initiating action was the testing of the continuity of relay SI-20X while the 'B' train Safety Injection DC breaker was closed. Once the testing of relay SI-20X was completed, the partial Safety Injection signal ceased and all the equipment that had started, or had been repositioned, was returned to its pre-test condition. The unexpected partial Safety Injection signal was the result of the improper sequencing of a separate test of process radiation monitors that was being performed concurrently with the test of the diesel generator load and safeguard sequence. Specific information required per NUREG-1022: a. The specific train(s) and system(s) that were actuated: The 'B' Diesel Generator actuated. In addition, (a) equipment that started, or was repositioned, were the 'D' Service Water pump, the 'B' Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System (CREATS), and Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) valves 871B and 852B; and (b) equipment that stopped was the containment purge supply and exhaust fans, and Control Room Air Handling Unit supply and return fans. b. Whether each train actuation was complete or partial: The actuation was partial. c. Whether or not the system started and functioned successfully: The 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator started and operated successfully. It was later secured by Operations personnel. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
