"FPL Energy Seabrook is currently in the action statement for Technical Specification 3.3.3. 10 due to the inoperability of both Waste Gas Oxygen Monitors. The Oxygen Monitors are currently functional but inoperable. The action statement requires that grab samples be collected at least once per 4 hours. On June 25, 2004 at 10:50 it was recognized that the elapsed time between 2 required samples had exceeded the 4 hour requirement by 30 minutes. Pursuant to the requirements of Facility Operating License No. NPF-86, paragraph 2.G., FPL Energy Seabrook is reporting the late completion of the requirements of an action required by the Station's Technical Specifications. An investigation is being conducted in accordance with the Station's Corrective Action Program."

| Event Text PART 21 NOTICE FOR WHITING CRANES
Based on a recent Engineering study of Whiting Crane SN 10698 at Robinson Station we have identified an overstress condition on the slack line load sensing structural frame interior plate welds. This condition is limited to the main hoist of a few redundant (single failure proof) cranes having capacities of 125 tons. They have reviewed trolley drawings for all redundant trolleys and have isolated the problem to 3 Whiting cranes SN 10388, 10389 (Brunswick Station) & 10698 (Robinson Station). Based on their records no other cranes are affected. These cranes must be limited to operating at 59 tons (47% of rated capacity) until the appropriate repairs are made. If customers have a concern related to cranes at their facility or require additional information they can direct their request to whiting-nuclear@whitingcorp.com or to the Whiting Corporation 10 CFR 21 hot line at 708-587-2550. Include your name, title, mailing address, e-mail address, phone #, fax #, Whiting Crane serial number, earliest critical lift date, and any specific requests. The company will reply upon completing any necessary research and based on the dates of the earliest critical lift. |

At 0111, received a Strong Motion Seismic Alarm and received calls from numerous personnel onsite and offsite that they felt ground motion. A GSEP Unusual Event was declared at 01:21 due to a confirmed seismic event Emergency Action Level HU-4. A walk down of various plant areas including the Dike is in progress to determine if any equipment was affected or damaged. During the event, some spurious alarms were received which cleared with exception of the seismic alarm. The seismic alarm will be reset after Station Engineering reviews the seismic data. They observed a 1" water level spike that immediately returned to normal on main control room suppression pool water level recorder and plant process computer. At this time we have received no reports of equipment damage and walk downs are continuing. The earthquake measured 4.5 on the Richter Scale and was approximately 10 miles north of Ottawa, IL. Ottawa is located 10 miles NW of the site. Both Units remained on line and stable.
The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified and the state was notified.
NOTE: See related events 40844 and 40846.
