LOSS OF PLANT COMPUTER

"At 1910 hours on 7/23/00, the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) portion of the Emergency Response Facility Computer System (ERFCS) was noted to be inoperable, due to all outputs being displayed in magenta color. Several attempts were made to reboot the system, but were unsuccessful. The air conditioning system for the Technical Support Center (TSC) computer room (which houses the ERFCS) had failed earlier in the day, and the air conditioning system was secured to perform repairs. Portable cooling fans were being used to cool the TSC computer room and the room temperature had stayed at about 80 degrees F. The system must be secured if temperature rises above 85 degrees F.

"Repairs to the TSC computer room air conditioning system are continuing at this time. A return to service time for the SPDS portion of the ERFCS has not been determined at this time."

The licensee will notify the NRC resident inspector.
