REACTOR COOLANT PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE FROM CONTROL ROD DRIVE MECHANISM (CRDM) # 21
The licensee reported the discovery of primary coolant system pressure boundary leakage from the CRDM # 21 lower pressure housing. Visible leakage was observed from an area containing a weld. Primary coolant system leakage is stable at approximately 0.3 gpm. The reactor was shut down earlier to investigate the elevated leak rate noted several days ago. Close inspection of the reactor head area noted the above leakage. The primary coolant system will be placed in mode 5 (cold shutdown) for evaluation and repairs. Leakage from this area is unexpected, and the mechanism for failure is not understood at this time.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.

DURING MAINTENANCE RESTORATION ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE EMERGENCY OPERATION FACILITY (EOF) WAS LOST.
At 1825 CT, on 06/21/01, all electrical power was lost to the EOF. An equipment operator was restoring breaker PPPG16223 from maintenance at the EOF, when all power was lost. Power to the EOF was restored at 2108 CT, 06/21/01. Breaker PPPG16223 remains out of service to troubleshoot the cause of the incident. Breaker PPPG16223 supplies Parking Lot Lights at the EOF.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.
