UNIT 2 EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER WITH AUTOSTART OF DIVISION I AND III EDGS
"An automatic initiation of Emergency Diesel Generators was received due to a loss of one of two off-site power sources.
"On February 16, 2014 at 1216 [EST], Nine Mile Point Unit 2 experienced an automatic initiation of the Division 1 and 3 Emergency Diesel Generators [EDGs] due to a loss of Line 5. Line 5 is one of the two 115KV offsite power sources.
"Line 5 was lost due to an offsite event that is currently being evaluated by the grid operator.
"During the electrical transient, Nine Mile Point Unit 2 also experienced a feedwater level control lockup, requiring manual control. No Emergency Core Cooling Systems actuated, and feedwater level control was returned to automatic. Nine Mile Point Unit 2 remained at 100% power during the loss of Line 5, one of the offsite power sources.
"The NRC resident has been notified."
The licensee also notified the State of New York.
Unit 2 is currently in a 24-hour Technical Specification Limiting Condition of Operation [TS LCO] Action Statement 3.8.1.A3. Once Division III is realigned to the "B" side Line 6 offsite power, Unit 2 will be in a 72-hour LCO. Both EDGs are currently running. There was no effect on Unit 1.
* * * UPDATE PROVIDED BY MARK GREER TO JEFF ROTTON AT 1727 EST ON 2/17/2014 * * *
"In addition to the initiation of Division 1 and 3 Emergency Diesel Generators, Service Water Radiation Monitor 2SWP*RE146A and Radwaste/Reactor Building Vent Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Systems were also lost. Compensatory actions were established as required by station procedures and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. The loss of these instruments is reportable as a major loss of Emergency Assessment Capability per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The Service Water Radiation Monitor 2SWP*RE146A was restored to service on February 16, 2014 at 1450 EST. The Radwaste/Reactor Building Vent Gaseous Effluent Monitoring Systems were restored to service on February 17, 2014 at 0240. It is recognized that this notification is not within eight hours of the event.
"Line 5 is restored to OPERABLE February 17, 2014 at 1628.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed of this additional reportable condition [and the update on the lost off-site power source]. The condition has been entered into the corrective action program."
The licensee also notified the State of New York Public Service Commission. The licensee exited the 72-hour LCO for the lost off-site power at 1628 on February 17, 2014.
Notified R1DO(Krohn), NRREO (Monninger) and ILTAB (Whitney).

CONTRACT WORKER TRANSPORTED TO HOSPITAL AFTER FALL
"At time 1725 [EST] on 02/16/2014 a contract worker fell ten to fifteen (10-15) feet off of a ladder while descending the ladder above the 565 foot level in the Containment Building. The individual received lacerations to the forehead and potential other injuries.
"For his work activities the individual was dressed in anti-contamination clothing.
"The individual was transported via off-site ambulance in his anti-contamination clothing to H.B. Magruder hospital in Port Clinton, Ohio. A First Energy (FENOC) Radiation Protection (RP) Technician accompanied the injured person in the ambulance during the transfer to the hospital. A FENOC RP Supervisor along with the RP Technician assisted at the hospital while the injured individual received medical treatment. The protective anti-contamination clothing was removed from the individual. A full body frisk was performed and showed no contamination on the individual.
"Smear readings on the anti-contamination booties and gloves showed [approximately] 1500 dpm / 100 square cm. The clothing was bagged and subsequent readings and surveys on the outside of the bag showed no readings above background. The bagged anti-contamination clothing will be transported back to Davis-Besse NPS by FENOC RP Supervision. The H.B. Magruder Hospital Treatment Room and the off-site ambulance also were frisked and showed no residual contamination."
The licensee notified the State of Ohio and Lucas and Ottawa Counties. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
