AGREEMENT STATE - LOST OR STOLEN TRITIUM ILLUMINATED SIGN
The following was received from the State of Nebraska via facsimile:
"Four signs with 8.5 curies of tritium were installed at Big Red Keno Lottery in 1991 during a remodeling project. The main entrance to the building was moved in about 1993. The original main entrance doorway was closed except for a small door which was not a fire exit. They believe the sign to the original entrance was removed at that time. No one knows where the sign went. After doing an inventory requested by this Agency, the facility discovered the sign missing and we were notified.
"The lost sign is a sealed source, manufactured by Safety Light Corporation, Model Number 880-12-5-12, Serial Number C17089. The probable disposition of the sign is the city landfill.

BRAIDWOOD 2 AFW SUPPORT SYSTEM ACTUATION DURING OUTAGE
"Unit 2 auxiliary feedwater support systems actuated during scheduled ATWS testing when an unrelated clearance order placement de-energized two 6.9 kv busses (256 and 258). The 2 of 4 6.9 kv bus undervoltage coincidence initiated a valid auto-start signal causing lube oil pumps 2AF01PA-A, 2AF01PB-A and 2AF01PB-C to start. Auxiliary Feedwater Pump AOV discharge valves 2AF004A and 2AF004B auto opened. 2AF01PA 4kv breaker, which was in the equipment test position. Neither auxiliary feedwater pump started and no water transferred to the steam generators."
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. |

AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP DUE TO HIGH REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE
"Crystal River Unit 3 was at 37 percent power starting up from a refueling outage. During troubleshooting of control problems with the B Main Feedwater Pump, a feedwater transient occurred which underfed the steam generators. This resulted in a reactor trip on high Reactor Coolant System pressure and Emergency Feedwater Actuation on low steam generator levels. This event is reportable as a 4-Hour Non-Emergency Notification per 10CFR50.72 (b)(2)(iv)(B) for Reactor Protection System Actuation and as an 8-Hour Non Emergency Notification per 10CFR50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A) for Emergency Feedwater Actuation."
The licensee reported that all control rods fully inserted on the trip and that steam generator safety valves lifted and reseated as expected. The primary system is currently at 2155 psi, 549 degrees F with steam generator feedwater being supplied by auxiliary feedwater. The main condenser is available and is being used for primary system heat removal via steam dump. The station electrical grid is stable and in normal configuration; the emergency diesel generators are operable and in standby.
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
