Title | Loss of Both Emergency Diesel Generators |
Event Description | On April 12, 2016, with the reactor at 100 percent power and the mode switch in RUN, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station entered an unplanned 24-hour Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) action statement due to both emergency diesel generators (EDG) being inoperable (Technical Specification 3.5.F.1). At 0050 [EDT] this morning, with EDG B out of service for a planned LCO maintenance window, EDG A was declared inoperable due to a 130 drop per minute leak on a line to a jacket water pressure indicator.
Repairs to EDG A are underway at this time. The following plant equipment has been verified operable: both 345 Kv transmission lines; 23kV transmission line; Station Blackout EDG. This condition is reportable to the NRC Staff as an Event or Condition that Could Have prevented Fulfillment of a Safety Function (Mitigate the consequences of an accident) under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), and requires an 8-hour notification. The licensee has notified the NRC Senior Resident Inspector. The licensee will notify the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. |
