UNIT 2 EXPERIENCED A REACTOR TRIP ON TURBINE TRIP DURING SURVEILLANCE TESTING OF THE TURBINE
AT 0128 EDT ON 6/4/00 WHILE PERFORMING TURBINE SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURE 2651T, "POWER LOAD UNBALANCED PUSH-TO-TEST", THE TURBINE TRIPPED UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING A REACTOR TRIP. ALL CONTROL RODS FULLY INSERTED. ALL SYSTEMS FUNCTIONED AS REQUIRED. THE MAIN FEEDWATER SYSTEM AND MAIN CONDENSER REMAIN IN SERVICE FOR DECAY HEAT REMOVAL . NO PRIMARY OR SECONDARY SAFETIES/PORVs LIFTED DURING THE TRANSIENT. ELECTRICAL LOADS TRANSFERRED TO THE RSST TRANSFORMER WITH ALL EDGs AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. THERE IS NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT OUT OF SERVICE AT THIS TIME. THE LICENSEE NOTIFIED THE NRC RESIDENT INSPECTOR AND BOTH STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES. A PRESS RELEASE IS ANTICIPATED.

UNIT 3 EXPERIENCED A REACTOR TRIP ON LOW STEAM GENERATOR WATER LEVEL FOLLOWING A TURBINE TRIP
"[A] plant startup [was] in progress. [The] main turbine generator [was] tied to [the] grid at 0452 [EDT]. Power was being raised to 30% power.
"At 22% reactor power while feeding steam generators via manual control of [the] feedwater regulatory valves, '33' Steam Generator level reached a high level trip point and tripped the turbine. The subsequent shrink in steam generator '31' levels resulted in a reactor trip at 0554 [EDT].
"All plant equipment functioned as required, no malfunctions noted at this time. [A] post trip review [is] in progress. ESF Actuation; '31' and '33' auxiliary feed pump[s] started."
All rods fully inserted following the trip. There is no safety equipment out of service at this time. Offsite power is supplying electrical loads. The auxiliary feed pumps and main condenser are removing decay heat.
The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector and plans to issue a press release.

THE DURHAM, N.C. VA HOSPITAL SENT SOME RADIOACTIVE WASTE TO THE DURHAM WASTE TRANSFER STATION.
A WASTE INDUSTRIES TRUCK SETOFF THE PORTAL MONITOR AT THE DURHAM WASTE TRANSFER STATION. THE TRUCK HAD PICKED UP A LOAD OF WASTE FROM THE DURHAM VA HOSPITAL. THE WASTE WAS RETURNED TO THE HOSPITAL. ONE BAG CONTAINED IN THE WASTE WAS MEASURING 150,000 CPM AT ONE FOOT AND OFF SCALE AT THE BAG. A DIAPER IN THE BAG WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE SOURCE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THE PATIENT WHO HAD WORN THE DIAPER HAD RECEIVED 20 MILLICURIES OF TECHNETIUM-99 ON THAT MORNING.
