LOSS OF ERDS DUE TO EQUIPMENT FAILURE

"During a routine check of the ERDS link, it was discovered that the computer housing the modem was frozen and not updating; therefore, the modem would not be transmitting information to the NRCOC. This condition only affected Unit 3; Unit 4 communication link is still operating. This is an 8-hr reportable event per 10CFR 50.72(b)(3)(viii)."

The licensee will inform the NRC Resident Inspector.
