DEGRADED WHILE SHUTDOWN
With Unit 2 in Mode 5 on the 11th day of its 10th Refuel and Inspection Outage, it has been determined that the CRD Seismic Island leakage rate criterion of 508 mI/hr has been exceeded. During performance of the Hydraulic Leak Test of CRD Seismic Island Check Valves, SE-259-150, a leakage rate of 20 ccm was recorded for Test 1 (valve # 246027) and a leakage rate of 14.3 ccm was recorded for Test 2 (valve 246028). With this leak rate, the 'Minimum Path' CRD Seismic Island Check Valve leak rate is 858 mI/hr. This leak rate exceeds the criteria of 508 mI/hr specified in FSAR Table 6.2-15, Evaluation of Secondary Containment Bypass Leakage Pathways.
This condition constitutes a degraded plant condition and requires an 8 hour ENS Notification in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A).
The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE/DENSITY GAUGE
"Between 7:00 and 9:00 PM, March 20, 2001, in a shopping area at 54th Street and Ray Road a Troxler Model 3411B moisture/density gauge, SN 11906, was stolen along with the truck containing the gauge. The truck is a 1993, white Chevrolet S-10 pickup, AZ tag # 141CAE. This information was supplied by the Radiation Safety Officer. The gauge contains an 8 millicurie cesium 137 source and a 44 millicurie americium-241/beryllium source. The gauge was locked to the pickup bed. Chandler Police Department is investigating this matter, report # 01-24824. The LICENSEE is offering a $500.00 reward. The Agency will be issuing a press release.
"The LICENSEE and the Agency continue to investigate this event.
"The states of Utah, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada together with the U.S. NRC, the U.S. FBI and Mexico are being notified of this event."

RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL DISCARDED AT SANITARY LANDFILL
The licensee reported that one vial of P-32 (1 mCi) was inadvertently discarded at a landfill. The licensee believes that the vial and the shipping pig were left in the shipping box, which was placed in the trash. The licensee was unable to locate the source before it was taken to the landfill.
