| "EVEN" TRAIN CORE SPRAY, RHR OR RHRSW PUMPS OPERATION FROM THE ALTERNATE     |
| SHUTDOWN SYSTEM COULD BE LOST DUE TO A POSTULATED HOT SHORT.                 |
|                                                                              |
| An Alternate Shutdown System design deficiency resulting in a vulnerability  |
| to a single hot short during a Control Room Cable Spreading Room fire has    |
| been identified.  The effect of the postulated hot short would be to actuate |
| the Bus 16 load shed logic  while the bus is powered from the emergency      |
| diesel generator.  This could result in the inability to operate the even    |
| train Core Spray, Residual Heat Removal (RHR)  or RHR Service Water  pumps.  |
| No means are in place to circumvent the postulated hot short.  A one hour    |
| fire watch patrol in the cable spreading room and control room has been      |
| established with Alternate Shutdown System inoperable.  All other Emergency  |
| Core Cooling Systems are fully operable.                                     |
|                                                                              |
| The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified of this event by the licensee.   |
