INVALID ACTUATION OF AN EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR
"This 60-day telephone notification is being made per the reporting requirements specified by 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) and 10CFR50.73(a)(1) to describe an invalid actuation of the Emergency AC electrical power systems, due to invalid start of an emergency diesel generator (EDG).
"On November 6, 2015, at 0815 [CST], EDG A received a fast start signal inadvertently. Maintenance Fix-It-Now (FIN) personnel, working in the vicinity of the relay panel, made incidental contact with one of the relays in the Diesel Generator Logic Relay Panel which initiated the engine start. The engine started and obtained rated speed and voltage in single unit mode. This was not a valid initiation of EDG A.
"Operations personnel responded to the EDG actuation by ensuring that the engine was shut down and placed in standby condition in accordance to plant operating instructions.
"The plant conditions at the time of the EDG A initiation would not have actuated the EDG; therefore, the actuation of EDG A was invalid.
"There were no safety consequences or impact to the health and safety of the public as a result of this event.
"This event was entered into the Corrective Action Program (CAP) as Condition Report (CR) 1101730.
"The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event."
