LOSS OF SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM (SPDS)
"At 0220 hours on 01/07/03, the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) portion of the Emergency Response Facility Computer System (ERFCS) was noted to be inoperable, due to all outputs being displayed in 'magenta' color.
"Troubleshooting of the ERFCS determined that the 'B' train of the ERFCS had failed and prevented the 'A' train from booting as required. This resulted in the failure of both trains of ERFCS and SPDS. Instrumentation & Controls personnel were able to restore the 'A' train ERFCS and at 0450 hours on 01/07/03 the ERFCS and SPDS were returned to service.
"SPDS was out of service for greater than 1 hour, which is considered a major loss of emergency assessment capability.
"This report is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii).
"NRC, Mr. Crouch notified. Faxed to NRC # 301-816-5161 at 0618 hours."
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the Licensee.
