OFFSITE NOTIFICATION TO LOCAL COUNTY EMERGENCY AGENCIES
"At 0905, an injury occurred to a worker when the individual received 2nd degree burns to his forearms. The worker was treated by the Company First Aid Team and released to Radiation Protection Personnel for deconning the individual. The burn area had some contamination of 100 to 400 counts above background. The individual was deconned by our Radiation Protection Personnel and our Company Medical Personnel and is no longer contaminated. The individual was released back to work.
The local County Emergency Management Agencies were notified of the potential for transportation of the individual to a local hospital, but transportation will not be required. The individual has requested no medical treatment from the local hospital. The local County Emergency Management Agencies were re-notified that the individual would not be transported."
The State of Ohio and local Counties were informed of this event.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.

MANUAL SCRAM DUE TO LOWERING REACTOR VESSEL WATER LEVEL
"This report is being made pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), RPS Actuation (scram). At 11:56 CDST on January 10,2003, during normal operation, unit 2 was manually scrammed due to lowering vessel water level. The lowering water level was from the loss of the 2B Condensate pump and the 2A & 2C Heater Drain pumps which resulted in a loss of both Turbine Driven Feed Pumps. ECCS equipment responded as expected (no automatic injection or starts). Hot Standby Mode of Operation was achieved with out difficulties and residual heat is being rejected to the condenser. No Safety Relief Valves actuated.
"Initial investigation revealed that the 2B condensate pump motor failed and may have resulted in an electrical fluctuation on electrical buses resulting in tripping some non-essential components. Further investigation, including troubleshooting is in progress for activities related to the condensate and heater drain pump loss."
All rods properly inserted into the core. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

LOSS OF ALL METEOROLOGICAL DATA FOR WIND SPEED, DIRECTION, AND TEMPERATURE
This report is from the Salem/Hope Creek site. Both Salem units and the Hope Creek unit are in power operation.
"This 8-hour notification is being made to report that the Salem and Hope Creek site lost all meteorological data for wind speed, direction and temperature at 1520 [EST] on 1/10/03. All three units are operating at 100% power. No actuations have taken place related to this event. The cause of this loss is being investigated. Procedural guidance is available to obtain the necessary data from the national weather service should this data be necessary."
The NRC resident inspector will be notified.
