incompetence
I talked to the NRC inspector on this. This is called gross maintenance incompetence. They did a 24 hour test on the DG around Sept 14. The test failed. Then they had 14 day before they had to shutdown according to TS. Fourteen days then came and gone, that is what forced them to shutdown. Basically another 20 days passed to today. They are still shutdown...
Its crazy...

UNIT
2 SHUTDOWN REQUIRED BY TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DUE TO INOPERABLE DIESEL
GENERATOR
"On September 16, 2016, at 0036 [CDT], during a 24-hour Technical
Specification (TS) endurance run, the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2)
red train Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) became inoperable when its inboard
generator bearing failed. ANO-2 TS 3.8.1.1, 'AC Sources', requires an
inoperable EDG to be restored to service within 14 days or actions to place
the unit in a shutdown condition initiated.
"It has been determined that repair options cannot be completed within
the Allowed Outage Time (AOT) due to unforeseen circumstances which evolved
during recovery efforts. At 0745 [CDT], ANO-2 initiated plant shutdown due to
the inability to restore the red train EDG. ANO-2 will be shutdown and cooled
down to Mode 5."
The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspectors.
