UNANALYZED CONDITION - BORON RESIDUE ON REACTOR VESSEL HEAD PENETRATIONS

Preliminary reactor head visual inspection indicates a small amount of boron residue surrounding four control rod drive mechanism head penetrations. These indications are similar to those previously reported for unit one and unit three. Additional inspection will be performed to determine the cause of identified boron accumulation.

The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.
