TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER PLANNED MAINTENANCE

"The Farley Nuclear Plant Technical Support Center (TSC) has been rendered non-functional due to a pre-planned and scheduled maintenance period to perform PMs [Preventive Maintenance] on the TSC ventilation system. The TSC ventilation maintenance will be worked with high priority to include around the clock support. Pre-planned compensatory measures are in place in accordance with site procedures to include the conditional relocation of the TSC staff should the Emergency Director deem the TSC to be uninhabitable.

"This report is being generated per Technical Requirements Manual TRM section 13.13.1 condition B for the TSC emergency response facility being out of service for greater than 30 minutes. The projected return to service is on 5/15/12 at 16:30 CDT."
