POTENTIAL MEDIA INTEREST DUE TO PLANNED MAINTENANCE OUTAGE
"On August 13, 2009, at 1304 PDT, Unit 2 was shut down in accordance with established plant procedures to perform more in-depth analysis of the main electrical transformer 'A' phase 500 kV bushing. Diablo Canyon Unit 2 was taken off line in a planned maintenance outage to investigate a power-factor condition currently identified by the 500 kV bushing monitoring instrumentation. The main electrical transformer 'A' phase 500 kV bushing will be replaced if warranted by the results of testing.
"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector."
