TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM INOPERABLE
"On 8/17/2014 at 0400 EDT, the Technical Support Center (TSC) emergency ventilation system was identified as inoperable. Troubleshooting of this equipment found a blown control power fuse. The system has been restored to operational status as of 0555 EDT on 8/17/2014.
"If an emergency had been declared and TSC activation was required, the TSC would have been staffed and activated unless the TSC became uninhabitable due to ambient temperatures, radiological or other conditions. The station Emergency Director would assess habitability in accordance with station procedures. TSC relocation of personnel would be directed as required until such time that the TSC emergency ventilation system was returned to service."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
