ELECTRICAL BREAKER B4305 UNABLE TO FUNCTION
"During panel walk downs in the Main Control Room, an Operator discovered no light indication for V-AC-4, B RHR ROOM AIR COOLING UNIT. Operator was dispatched to Breaker B4305 and 'B' RHR room to determine cause of loss of indicating light. The Operator determined that breaker B4305 (V-AC-4, 'B' RHR ROOM AIR COOLING UNIT 480V SUPPLY) was unable to function. Division II RHR pumps, Division II CS pump, and associated low pressure injection systems were declared inoperable. Tech Spec Actions 3.5.1.A, 3.5.1.B, and 3.5.1.M were entered resulting in entry into LCO 3.0.3 at 1053 on August 20, 2007. At 1151 on August 20, 2007 power reduction was commenced using normal shutdown procedures.
"Site Electricians determined that a line fuse had blown. The fan motor was meggared and all three line fuses were replaced. At 1230 on August 20, 2007, V-AC-4 was tested and returned to service. Division II RHR pumps, Division II CS pump and associated low pressure injection systems were declared operable. LCO 3.0.3 and T.S. Actions 3.5.1.A, 3.5.1.B, and 3.5.1.M were exited.
