SINGLE FLOW BARRIER ACCESS POINT FOUND UNBOLTED
"On May 14, 2017, with the Unit in Mode 4, it was identified that a single flow barrier access point (Gate C) to the 46 ft. elevation of Containment was unbolted for access to the inner crane wall to perform surveillance testing. This single flow barrier access point is required to be bolted closed to ensure the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) operability basis which requires the sump barrier system to be operable in Modes 1- 4. The sump barrier system is required to prevent the transport of debris to the recirculation and containment sumps. This event is a safety system functional failure as the condition could have prevented adequate post-accident core cooling due to Design Basis Accident debris blockage of the recirculation and/or the containment sump and is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D)."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the New York Public Service Commission.

"At 0730 [CDT] on 5/14/2017, a visitor was working in the Protected Area (PA) on the turbine building roof and discovered a blue 12 ounce can of beer in their cooler. This was discovered when the visitor was removing items from their cooler into a larger community cooler. The visitor immediately notified their escort of the prohibited item. The escort then notified Security of the event. Security took possession of the item and the individual was escorted offsite. The individual stated when they packed their cooler at home they thought they had picked up a blue can of soda and did not notice it was a blue can of beer. This event is being reported per 10CFR26.719(b)."
