| The Security Manager, with personnel from Security and Regulatory Compliance |
| reviewed the incident using the guidance in USNRC Regulatory guide 5.62,     |
| Reporting of Safeguards Events, and USNRC Generic Letter 91-03, Reporting of |
| Safeguards events.  It was determined that although the document contained   |
| some low level safeguards information, the document could not have           |
| significantly aided an adversary in defeating a security barrier or in       |
| carrying out an act of radiological sabotage as the key piece of safeguards  |
| information, an encryption table, was not filled out.  Based on that         |
| determination JAF is withdrawing the one-hour telephone notification         |
| (EN-39777). The event remains a loggable event per 10 CFR 95.57(b).  It was  |
| entered into the Security Log at the time of notification. The event has     |
| also been entered into the licensee's corrective action program for apparent |
| cause determination.                                                         |

| The NRC Resident inspector was notified and the state will be notified.      |

| "This report is being made pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), Event or      |
| Condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a Safety Function needed  |
| to Mitigate the Consequences of an Accident. On 04/23/03, at 18:15 CDST, the |
| 1A Diesel Generator was made inoperable for a scheduled surveillance.        |
| Concurrent with this inoperability, the 0 Diesel Generator received a        |
| spurious CO2 actuation signal. This spurious CO2 partial logic actuation did |
| not result in an actual CO2 injection into the 0 Diesel Generator Room. The  |
| CO2 system partial actuation however resulted in several ventilation dampers |
| failing closed as designed. With these dampers closed, the ventilation       |
| support system for the 0 Diesel Generator became inoperable, the 0 Diesel    |
| Generator was declared inoperable at 1923 hours 04/23/03. This condition     |
| resulted in both the 1A and 0 Diesel Generators concurrently being           |
| inoperable. Actions were taken to terminate the 1A Diesel surveillance and   |
| restore the 1A Diesel Generator to an operable status. This was accomplished |
| at 1952 hours 04/23/03. The 1A and 0 Diesel Generators were simultaneously   |
| inoperable for 29 minutes. Due to the concurrent Diesel Generator            |
| inoperabilities which affect redundant trains required to mitigate the       |
| consequences of an accident, it has been determined that this event is       |
| reportable as an 8 hour ENS notification.                                    |
|                                                                              |
| "Corrective actions have been initiated to address the 0 Diesel Generator    |
| CO2 system and restore the ventilation dampers to an operable status. The    |
| spurious actuation of the 0 Diesel Generator CO2 system was determined to be |
| due to a Non-Licensed Operator opening the fire detection panel for          |
| inspection."                                                                 |

| At 0348 EDT on 4/24/03, the plant experienced an influx of fish on the       |
| intake screens for the circwater and essential service water (ESW) systems.  |
| This resulted in a loss of vacuum to Units 1 and 2 main turbines, which led  |
| operators to manually trip both reactors.  Following the trip, operators     |
| noted that ESW flow to all 4 emergency diesel generators (EDGs) was severely |
| degraded.  This resulted in the licensee declaring all 4 EDG's inoperable.   |
| An alert was declared at 0348 EDT, and the NRC entered Monitoring Mode at    |
| 0506 EDT.                                                                    |

| GRAND GULF AUTOMATIC SCRAM AND ECCS INJECTION DUE TO PARTIAL LOOP            |
|                                                                              |
| "At 09:47 (CDT), Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) auto scrammed due to      |
| complications following a partial loss of offsite power. At the time of the  |
| scram there was a severe thunderstorm in the vicinity of GGNS. It is         |
| believed that high winds caused damage in the GGNS switchyard which in turn  |
| led to the partial LOOP. The following items actuated/initiated during this  |
| event:                                                                       |
|                                                                              |
| "1. RPS automatic actuation, exact cause unknown.                            |
| "2. HPCS and RCIC initiated on reactor water level 2 and injected into the   |
| vessel to restore water level.                                               |
| "3. Division 2 and 3 EDGs started on a loss of power to the 16 and 17 buses. |
| Division 2 and 3 EDG energized the 16 and 17 buses respectively.             |
| "4. Some time after the initial event the 15 bus lost power and was          |
| re-energized by the Division 1 EDG.                                          |
| "5. All MSIVs isolated on loss of power.                                     |
| "6. Containment isolation occurred on power loss and on reactor water level  |
| 2.                                                                           |
|                                                                              |
| "At present reactor water level is being maintained with RCIC and reactor    |
| pressure is being maintained with SRVs. A review of plant data is underway   |
| to confirm proper response of plant equipment."                              |
|                                                                              |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified by the licensee.                     |
|                                                                              |
| *****UPDATE ON 4/24/03 AT 19:20 FROM BRINMAN TO LAURA*****                   |
|                                                                              |
| "It should be noted that offsite power was always available to the GGNS from |
| the ESF transformer #12 during/following the scram at 09:47 hours (CDT) on   |
| 4/24/03. Also, there was no structural damage to the GGNS switchyard. There  |
| was only minor damage to a locking collar on a disconnect in the GGNS        |
| switchyard. The wind blew the disconnect closed breaking it's locking collar |
| and grounding the switchyard through a grounding strap. The grounding strap  |
| disintegrated and a lockout occurred on service transformer #21 and the west |
| bus of the GGNS switchyard. Power has been restored to all busses and all    |
| diesel generators have been secured."                                        |
|                                                                              |
