TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION REQUIRED SHUTDOWN
"At 1143 CDT, the Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant commenced a plant shutdown. The plant shutdown was initiated due to an expected inability to restore the Component Cooling (CC) heat exchanger 'A' to an operable status prior to exceeding it's 72 hour LCO action time. The 72 LCO action time expires at 0934, Monday, May 6, 2002. The CC heat exchanger was declared inoperable when it was removed from service to investigate CC system leakage of approximately 0.37 gpm. With only one CC heat exchanger operable, Kewaunee T.S. require that after 72 hours, with one CC heat exchanger inoperable, a plant shutdown commences to < 350 F. Current plans are to shut the plant down <350 F and repair the CC heat exchanger. CC heat exchanger 'B' has no detectable leakage."
The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT OF POTENTIAL OVEREXPOSURE
"Two employees received an excessive exposure at this facility. Landauer read the badges again with the same results. One employee had a dose of 34.6 rem and the other had a dose of 19.3 rem. A cause for the over exposure could not be identified. On August 29 and 30, 2002, a representative of LDEQ investigated the over exposure. After the investigation, it was concluded that the two employees did not actually receive the dose."
