It was 'contained' to that location (the CW pump motor). Motor [is]still smoldering, [but] it is controlled and contained. Steam Generator Blowdown system isolated due to high flash tank level. Multiple rad monitors went into alarm due to voltage surge."
The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified.
The Licensee reported that no offsite assistance was requested and that the State (NH) was notified.

EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATORS DECLARED INOPERABLE
"At 1518 hours on October 9, 2002 Indian Point Unit 2 commenced a controlled shutdown per T/S 3.0.1. T/S 3.0.1 was entered because Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) 21 and 23 were declared inoperable. EDG 23 was declared inoperable at 2152 hours on October 8, 2002 due to failure of monthly test. EDG 21 was declared inoperable at 1359 hours on October 9, 2002 due to indications of jacket water in the lube oil system. EDG 23 was declared operable at 1635 hours on October 9, 2002 following corrective actions and testing at which time T/S 3.0.1 was exited. They think EDG 21 may have a cracked engine head. The reactor power reduction was stopped at 97 percent, but the are planning to return to 100%. The to the Public Service Commission was informed of the reason for the downpower at 1610 hours on October 9, 2002."

MEDICAL MISADMINISTRATION: BRACHYTHERAPY UNDERDOSE TO TREATMENT SITE
A patient undergoing brachytherapy treatment for cardiac restenosis received an underdose when it was determined that the strontium 90 source did not reach the intended treatment site. The source contained 16 source beads in the source train. The cause of the under dose is suspected to have been caused by blockage along the catheter but this has not yet been confirmed. An investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the underdose.
