HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION (HPCI) TURBINE DETERMINED TO BE INOPERABLE
The licensee determined during surveillance testing that the HPCI turbine was inoperable due to the minimum flow valve cycling open and closed due to problem with the associated flow switch. The problem is being worked on.
The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector.

"Event Number 38601 reported a condition at Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) where the High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) was declared inoperable due the minimum flow valve cycling open and closed. This condition occurred during surveillance testing of the HPCI turbine.
"This event was reported per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), Accident Mitigation, on the basis that the cycling of the minimum flow valve (when HPCI injection is required) could have resulted in injection flow below that required to maintain fuel integrity during certain transients or accidents. Subsequent investigation found the instrumentation initiating a signal to open the MOV would not reset. The requirement for the minimum flow to open for pump protection was always met. Existing analyses have determined that sufficient margin exists to achieve adequate system flow even if the minimum flow valve is in the full-open position. Also, the additional flow demands on the HPCI pump would not have resulted in a large enough increase in turbine speed that would have resulted in a turbine trip. For the scenario where the valve may have cycled between open and closed position, the HPCI pump control system is capable of handling the change in flow without resulting in a turbine trip. Should HPCI have received a isolation signal or if the turbine was manually tripped, the minimum flow valve would have closed.
"Therefore, the above described condition did not result in a loss of safety function for HPCI. Nebraska Public Power District has determined that this event is not reportable under the requirements of 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D), and as such, Event 38601 is retracted."
The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspection. The R4DO (Dale Powers) has been notified.

SELF-POWERED TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS DISCOVERED MISSING FOLLOWING FACILITY RENOVATION
The auditorium at the Brigham Young University Campus in Laie, HI underwent renovation between 6/2000 and 1/2002. The contractor removed nine (9) self-powered tritium exit signs for storage and reinstallation following completion of the work. After work was completed the signs could not be located. The Safety Officer (SO) at the University believes that the signs may have been installed at another business location. Based on other self-powered exit signs currently in possession, the SO feels the missing signs contained 10 Curie tritium sources each and were manufactured by SRB Technologies, Inc. located in Winston-Salem, NC between 1992 and 1993. A written report will be submitted for the loss of this general licensed material in accordance with NUREG-1556.
