Title	Secondary Containment Pressure Increase Due to Voltage Transient
Event Description	At approximately 0301 [CDT] on 6/25/15, the Main Control Room received numerous annunciators that indicated a trip of the Emergency Reserve Auxiliary Transformer (ERAT) Static VAR Compensator (SVC) caused by a voltage transient on the 138 kV feed due to thunderstorms in the area. The Division 1 Safety Bus was manually aligned from the reserve source to its normal source. As a result of the voltage transient, the Division 1 Fuel Building Ventilation (VF) system isolation dampers closed causing a trip of VF supply and exhaust fans. With no running VF fans, secondary containment differential pressure rose to slightly greater than 0 inches water gauge and which exceeded the Technical Specification requirement of greater than 0.25 inches vacuum water gauge. The Control Room entered EOP-8, Secondary Containment Control. This event is being reported as a condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C). Secondary Containment differential pressure was restored within Technical Specification requirements at 0319 [CDT] by reopening the VF isolation dampers and restarting the VF supply and exhaust fans. The ERAT SVC was returned to service at 0457 [CDT]. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
