EVENT TEXT

| THE PLANT ENTERED TS REQUIRED SHUT DOWN DUE TO LOSS OF TWO STEAM FLOW |
| CHANNELS ON THE "A" STEAM GENERATOR. |
| |
| PRIOR TO THIS EVENT THERE WAS A BROKEN SENSING LINE ON THE "B" STEAM |
| GENERATOR STEAM FLOW CHANNEL WHICH REQUIRED PUTTING THE CHANNEL 3 STEAM |
| FLOWS ON ALL THREE STEAM GENERATORS IN TEST. TODAY @ 1657 CHANNEL 4 ON THE |
| "A" STEAM GENERATOR FAILED. THERE ARE TWO STEAM FLOW CHANNELS PER STEAM |
| GENERATOR AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRE ONE OF THE TWO FLOW CHANNELS |
| TO BE AVAILABLE. SINCE CHANNELS 3 AND 4 ON THE "A" STEAM GENERATOR ARE NOT |
| AVAILABLE, THE PLANT ENTERED TS LCO 3.0.3 WHICH GIVES THEM 7 HRS. TO BE IN |
| HOT STANDBY, 6 HOURS TO HOT SHUTDOWN AND THE FOLLOWING 24 HOURS TO COLD |
| SHUTDOWN. THE FEED PUMP SPEED CONTROL AND THE "A" STEAM GENERATOR FLOW |
| CONTROL VALVE WERE PLACED IN MANUAL AND LEVELS WERE STABILIZED. THEY CAN |
| EXIT THE LCO ACTION STATEMENT IF THEY TAKE CHANNEL 3 OUT OF TEST ON "A" |
| STEAM GENERATOR AND RETURN IT TO SERVICE. |
| |
| THE RESIDENT INSPECTOR WILL BE INFORMED. |
