| CONDITION OF LICENSE REPORT DUE TO UNAVAILABLE EMERGENCY LIGHTING
|
| |
| On October 11, 2001, following a fire protection program self assessment, it |
| was determined that emergency lighting was unavailable in two required |
| locations. Actions in these areas are required steps of procedure 20.000.18 |
| "Control of Plant from Dedicated Shutdown Panel." |
| |
| The inability to perform steps in 20.000.18 constitutes a reportable |
| condition under Fermi 2 License Condition 2.F as a violation of |
| "Modifications for Fire Protection" as described in License Condition |
| 2.C(9). |
| |
| Short term corrective action is to revise the procedure steps to obtain |
| portable lighting prior to exiting the plant. Long term corrective actions |
| are being evaluated. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. |
| |
| * * * RETRACTION ON 10/26/01 AT 1315 ET REPORTED BY KEVIN DAHM TAKEN BY |
| MACKINNON * * * |
| |
| Upon further evaluation, it has been determined that License Condition 2.C |
| (9) was not violated. The steps in question in the CTG 11-1 Control |
| Building and in the EDG-11 Switchgear Room can be completed successfully |
| with the current lighting configuration; and therefore, there is no adverse |
| affect on the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. License |
| Condition 2.C (9) is thus met, and this condition is not reportable under |
| License Condition 2.F. The original notification, Event Number 38380, is |
| retracted. R3DO (Brent Clayton) notified. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this retraction by the licensee. |

| CESIUM-137 |
| |
| Prap Industries was performing work on a newly paved road which was closed |
| to traffic at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Route 31 located in |
| Ewing, NJ. A Prap Rock Industries employee placed the Troxler gauge, Model |
| # 4640B, in a cart and moved the cart next to a tree and went off to perform |
| other duties. When the person returned, time unknown how long the person |
| was away from the unattained gauge, he discovered that the gauge and cart |
| were missing. This individual immediately notified the onsite New Jersey |
| State Troopers that the gauge was missing. A search of the area was |

| AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM. ALL RODS FULLY INSERT INTO THE CORE. |
| |
| Unit Two reactor scram. The cause is presently under investigation. |
| Preliminary indications are that the "B" Recirculation pump experienced a |
| runback which was immediately followed by an increase to its previous speed, |
| resulting in a rapid reactor power increase causing the neutron monitoring |
| system (Average Power Range Monitors) to trip and cause a reactor scram. |
| All rods fully inserted into the core. The following isolations occurred: |
| Primary Containment isolated (Group 2 isolation), Secondary Containment |
| isolation which started the Standby Gas Treatment System, and Reactor Water |
| Clean-up isolated (Group 5 isoaltion). HPCI and RCIC system initiated on |
| low low reactor vessel water level, but did not inject into the reactor due |
| to the feedwater system recovering reactor pressure vessel water level. All |
| Emergency Core Cooling systems and the Emergency Diesel Generators are fully |
| operable if needed and the electrical grid is stable. |

| TWO OF THREE AUXILIARY FEEDWATER PUMPS DECLARED INOPERABLE |
| |
| The licensee reported that the auxiliary boiler (steam generator) feedwater |
| pump 21 was declared inoperable at 0021 EDT due to high packing temperature |
| during the planned plant shutdown. Later at 0208 EDT, the second pump, 23, |
| was declared inoperable because the outboard bearing could not be kept below |
| 200�F without the use of city water. City water is not seismically |
| qualified leading to the declaration of pump 23 being inoperable. Pump 23 |
| is functional and able to provide feedwater. Pump 22 is being used and is |
| fully operational. The plant is being cooled down as planned and due to the |
| pump problems has until 1400 EDT today, 10/27/01, to cool down to less than |
| 350�F in accordance with technical specifications. The licensee expects to |
| meet the requirement with no trouble. |
| |
| The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
