| 24-HOUR REPORT REQUIRED BY PLANT OPERATING LICENSE DUE TO VIOLATION OF |
| TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS |
| |
| The licensee has discovered that a solenoid-operated isolation valve on a |
| 3/8" diameter sample line from the secondary containment was excluded from |
| the plant technical specifications (TS), and, consequently, it was not |
| subject to surveillances required by the TS. The valve is located on a |
| secondary containment atmosphere sample line which connects to the |
| post-accident sampling system. The licensee has verified that the valve is |
| closed. |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this event by the licensee. |
| |
| * * * UPDATE AT 2117 EST ON 01/14/99 FROM BRIAN STETSON TO S. SANDIN * * * |
| |
| The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee: |
| |
| "During the extent of condition investigation of Condition Report 98-2142, |
| it was identified that instrument vent and drain valves associated with the |
| reactor core isolation cooling system (E51) and the annulus exhaust gas |
| treatment system (M15) could fit the definition of secondary containment |
| isolation valves as discussed in Technical Specification Bases 3.6.4.2. |
| However, these valves are not surveilled and checked closed every 31 days as |
| required by Surveillance Requirement 3.6.4.2.1. There are 12 valves (3/8") |
| associated with E51, and 8 valves (1/4") associated with M15." |
| |
| The licensee plans to continue its evaluation and has informed the NRC |
| Resident Inspector. The NRC Operations Officer notified the R3DO (Gavula). |

| LOSS OF HALF OF THE OFFSITE EMERGENCY SIRENS DUE TO FREEZING RAIN |
| |
| The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee: |
| |
| "10CFR50.72(b)(1)(v) requires that a facility notify the NRC Operations |
| Center during any event that results in a major loss of emergency offsite |
| response capability. Due to weather conditions causing area power outages, |
| a system test of the emergency sirens was conducted. During this test, it |
| was discovered that 22 out of 44 emergency sirens were not functioning. |
| Therefore, Clinton Power Station is making a notification pursuant to |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(1)(v)." The licensee's current site policy is to make a |
| notification of this type if less than 90% of the emergency sirens are |
| available. |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. |
| |
| *** UPDATE ON 01/14/99 @ 1442 EST FROM POWERS TO GOULD *** |
| |
| As of 0930 CST, the plant restored power to all but four emergency sirens. |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector will be notified by the licensee. The R3DO |
| (Gavula) was notified by the NRC operations officer. |

| LOSS OF EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (ENS) AND COMMERCIAL TELEPHONES |
| |
| At 0300, it was discovered that the FTS-2000 ENS telephone line and the |
| offsite commercial telephone lines were out of service. The cause of this |
| telephone outage is unknown at this time. However, the licensee stated that |
| there does not seem to be a trunk line problem. The licensee has contacted |
| Ameritech and a local telephone representative. Offsite communications are |
| available via the use of cellular telephones and base radios to the Michigan |
| State Police and to the licensee's power control (load dispatcher). Outside |
| calls can be made from those locations if it is necessary for the licensee |
| to relay information. |
| |
| (Call the NRC Operations Center for a licensee cellular telephone number.) |
| |
| ******************** UPDATE AT 1009 ON 01/14/99 FROM GARY RUEHLE TO TROCINE |
| ******************** |
| |
| Telephone service was restored at approximately 0930, and the ENS line |
| tested satisfactorily at 1009. The telephone outage was due to an Ameritech |
| problem. |
| |
| The NRC operations officer notified the R3DO (Gavula). |

| AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP ON TRIP OF TWO OF THREE REACTOR COOLANT PUMPS AND |
| LOSS OF TWO 6.9-kV BUSES |
| |
| During relay calibration on the 'A' 6.9-kV non-safety bus, the bus was |
| unexpectedly deenergized. The 'C' 6.9-kV bus is a swing bus and was tied to |
| the 'A' 6.9-kV bus, which caused it to be deenergized also. This caused the |
| loss of two of three reactor coolant pumps, and in turn, caused an automatic |
| reactor trip from 100% power. All systems functioned as expected, all rods |
| fully inserted, and auxiliary feedwater started on low steam generator level |
| as expected. All safety systems are operable except the 'A' containment |
| hydrogen analyzer which is out of service for planned maintenance. |
| |
| The exact cause of the loss of the 6.9-kV buses is currently under |
| investigation. |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, the State of North |
| Carolina, and the local county. |
