| THREE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS DECLARED INOPERABLE DUE TO CORRODED HEADS (24-hour |
| report) |
| |
| "On 06/02/99 at 1630 CDT, the Plant Shift Superintendent (PSS) was notified |
| that numerous sprinkler heads were corroded, affecting 16 sprinkler systems |
| in C-337 and one system in C-333, such that the ability of the sprinklers to |
| flow sufficient water was called into question. Subsequently, these |
| sprinkler systems were declared inoperable, and TSR-required actions |
| establishing roving fire patrols were initiated. This deficiency was |
| detected during scheduled system inspections conducted by Fire Protection |
| personnel. Currently, functionality of the sprinkler heads has not been |
| fully evaluated by Fire Protection personnel, and the remaining cascade |
| buildings are currently being inspected, and if necessary, this report will |
| be updated to identify any additional areas. It has been determined that |
| this event is reportable under 10CFR76.120(c)(2) as an event in which |
| equipment is disabled or fails to function as designed." The NRC resident |
| inspector has been notified of this event. |

| |
| At 0900 on 11/02/99, a dye penetrant (PT) examination of the control rod |
| drive seal housing for control rod #44 revealed a potential crack-like |
| indication in the Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary. The PT |
| examination was performed to investigate a boric acid deposit on the |
| exterior surface of the housing which was discovered during a previous |
| visual inspection. A small indication was also found on the seal housing |
| for control rod #30. The plant is in a refueling outage. An investigation |
| to characterize the indications and determine their cause and extent is in |
