2 While at 100% output, the Reactor was manually tripped due to loss of station air pressure. The loss of station air pressure occurred when the 1A Station Air Compressor tripped while the 1 B Station Air Compressor was out of service for preventive maintenance (PM) work. The PM required verification that all wiring terminations associated within the control panel for the compressor were tight. While checking the connections, a short occurred when a screwdriver without insulation was used to tighten a terminal screw. The short grounded the control circuit for an interconnection with the 1A Station Air Compressor, causing it to blow a control power fuse. This interconnect was not clearly evident in the PM work order. The blown control power fuse caused the 1 A Station Air Compressor to trip. Trip of compressor 1 A combined with the tag-out and work being performed on compressor 1B, caused loss of station air pressure, forcing a manual trip of the Reactor.

SUMMARY

The Unit began the report period operating at a nominal value of 100% output. On 12/7/01 at 1401 hours0.0162 days <br />0.389 hours <br />0.00232 weeks <br />5.330805e-4 months <br />, the Reactor was manually tripped due to loss of station air pressure. The Unit was stabilized in Mode 3 while the cause and evaluation of the trip continued (see above for details). Upon determination that startup could proceed, the Unit commenced Reactor startup, entering Mode 2 at 1656 hours0.0192 days <br />0.46 hours <br />0.00274 weeks <br />6.30108e-4 months <br /> and going critical at 2023 hours0.0234 days <br />0.562 hours <br />0.00334 weeks <br />7.697515e-4 months <br /> on 12/9/01.

The Unit was synchronized to the electrical grid at 0126 hours0.00146 days <br />0.035 hours <br />2.083333e-4 weeks <br />4.7943e-5 months <br /> on 12/10/01, achieving a nominal value of 100%
