EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY HIGH RADIATION FILTRATION SYSTEM INOPERABLE
Work in progress to modify the High Rad Filtration System left the system inoperable. The modification is intended to make the system auto restart after a loss of power event. Workers left the job site with the modification incomplete, thus rendering the system inoperable. Workers have been called back to the site to either restore the system or complete the modification.
Operators were following up on an annunciator that alarmed at 1730 and discovered that some work had been done on the system.
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector and state and local governments.

FIRE BARRIER DOOR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PERIODICALLY TESTED
On 1/15/2001, it was discovered that an appendix R fire barrier door may not have been periodically tested according to requirements. On 1/18/2001, during functional testing, the subject door failed to close completely. The subject door is a normally open door that by design should automatically close when a temperature sensitive fusible link is actuated. When tested the door closed to all but the last two to three inches of travel. Under the presumption that the door is required to close completely to fulfill it's design function this event is conservatively being reported as a failure to meet Kewaunee's Appendix R design basis.
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.

POSSIBLE NONCONFORMANCE RELATED TO THE PERFORMANCE OF EMBECO 636 (CMTR) GROUT.
SKW-MBT Management, Inc. supplied Embeco 636 (CMTR) Grout, as a nuclear safety-related product, to six customers since June 1999. This product may have been purchased through either ChemRex, Inc. or Master Builders, Inc; both of these companies are part of SKW-MBT Management Inc.
"Recently, to ensure continued quality of the products that ChemRex and SKW-MBT provide, samples of our stock of Embeco 636( CMTR) Grout that were late in shelf life were submitted to re-analysis by our Quality Control (QC) Department. Based upon the results of the analysis of some of the samples, we want to inform you of a possible shelf life issue that may exist for specific lot(s) under certain conditions. During the course of preparation for application, Embeco 636 (CMTR) Grout, lot number M4-73733PO, if mixed to a fluid consistency may possibly segregate.
"Based on our review and in accordance with the requirements and operating procedures of the SKW-MBT Quality Assurance Program, we are notifying nuclear facilities that have ordered Embeco 636 (CMTR) since June 1999 of this situation described above"
Customers: Davis Besse Power Station, Peach Bottom Power Plant, Limerick Generating Station, Robinson Plant, Cook Nuclear Plant (both units), and Beaver Valley Power Station.

THE LICENSEE REPORTED A MISSING ELECTRON CAPTURE DETECTOR
During a physical inventory of radiation sources, the licensee reported that an electron capture detector for a gas chromatograph, used in a chem lab, was missing on the last inventory performed on 01/18/01. The device was a PerkinElmer model PE009-0282 serial # 1648 containing Ni-63 <15 millicuries. A search was made, but the device did not show up. It was last inventoried approximately three years ago.
