PLANT HAD AUTO START OF ALL THREE DIESEL GENERATORS DUE TO PERSONNEL ERROR

Startup Power was being cleared to Unit 1 for refueling outage maintenance. Part of the clearance was to open switch 211-1 for Unit 1 Startup Transformer. Operators inadvertently opened switch 211-2 for Unit 2 Startup Transformer. This caused all three Unit 2 Diesel Generators (D/G) to start on loss of Startup Power signal. Starting of the D/G's is considered to be an ESF actuation and constitutes a 4 hour non-emergency report per 10CFR50.72(B)(2). Startup Power was restored three minutes later and the D/G's returned to standby condition. The D/G's did not load on the bus and no other ESF systems were affected.

The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
