| TROCINE ********** |
| |
| The licensee is retracting this event notification. After further review of |
| this event, Regulatory Guide 562, and Generic Letter 91-03, the licensee |
| determined that this event was loggable and not reportable because there was |
| no safety significance to the event and because the licensee compensated for |
| the event. |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC Region 3 office (Terry Madeda) and plans to |
| notify the NRC resident inspector. The NRC operations officer notified the |
| R3DO (Ring). |

EVENT TEXT

| SHUTDOWN COOLING INOPERABLE WHILE IN MODE ONE |
| |
| The logic for the Shutdown Cooling System would have prevented placing |
| Shutdown Cooling in service. Although Shutdown Cooling is not currently |
| required in mode 1, the logic is required. A component had high resistance |
| which generated a signal like an actual high temperature condition. This |
| condition would have prevented placing Shutdown Cooling in service. The |
| high resistance is believed to have been caused by dirty contacts. |
| |
| The problem has been corrected, and the components are being retested. |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. |
