Event Text
VALID EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR START

The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:

"At 2204 EDT on 6/22/2025, with unit 1 and unit 2 operating at 100 percent power, the 'A' reserve station service transformer (RSST) was lost which resulted in the loss of power to the '1J' emergency bus. As a result of the power loss, the '1J' emergency diesel generator (EDG) automatically started as designed and restored power to the '1J' emergency bus. During the event, the unit 1 'A' charging pump (1-CH-P-1A) automatically started as designed due to the loss of power event. Security footage reported a bright white flash associated with the 'A' RSST at the time of the event.

"The valid actuation of these ESF components due to loss of electrical power is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).

"The '1J' emergency bus off-site power source was restored to service via an alternate source and the '1J' EDG was secured and returned to automatic. Restoration of offsite power to operable is complete. 1-CH-P-1A was secured and returned to automatic. Both units are currently stable, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause of the loss of the 'A' RSST."

Unit 2 was unaffected. The NRC resident inspector was notified.
