REACTOR MANUALLY TRIPPED FOLLOWING LOSS OF MAIN FEED PUMP
The licensee provided the following information via fax (licensee text in quotes)
"The 4A SGFP [Steam Generator Feed Pump] tripped, initiating a Turbine Runback. Operators manually inserted a Reactor Trip at 15% Steam Generator level. The reactor tripped and all control rods inserted. Auxiliary Feedwater automatically initiated as expected. All systems operated as expected except the 4A SGFP discharge MOV which has no [position] indication [in the main control room and is being] investigated."
Decay heat is being removed by atmospheric steam dumps. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.

FOR CAUSE FITNESS FOR DUTY TEST FAILURE
A contract supervisor had a confirmed positive for alcohol during a "for-cause" fitness for duty test. The contractor's site access was denied, the contractor was escorted off site and provided a ride home. Contact the Headquarters Operations Officer for additional details.
The NRC Resident will be notified by the site.
