|                                                                              |

| Noncompliance Situation and Brief History                                    |
|                                                                              |
| On Monday afternoon, April 10, 2000, during the review of documentation for  |
| a Nuclear Safety Related valve in process at our facility, we discovered     |
| that our casting supplier did not properly upgrade the bonnet staged for     |
| assembly of this valve. The mechanical properties of the steel were not      |
| verified after the heat treatment phase of the upgrading process.            |
|                                                                              |
| We began our investigation and found the following circumstances that        |
| contributed to this situation:                                               |
|                                                                              |
| 1) The supplier of these castings approved for producing and upgrading       |
| castings for Nuclear Safety Related Service quit producing castings by the   |
| shell molding process and the casting patterns were transferred to a         |
| commercial foundry.                                                          |
|                                                                              |
| 2) Commercial castings were then sent by the Dresser Valve Division,         |
| Alexandria facility to the supplier approved for producing and upgrading     |
| Nuclear Safety Related Castings with instructions for the castings to be     |
| upgraded.                                                                    |
|                                                                              |
| 3) The purchase orders for these castings did not reflect instructions for   |
| upgrade, but rather read as if we were buying the Nuclear Class castings     |
| from this supplier. The castings used for this effort were not certifiable   |
| as being free of weld repairs nor were they supported by test bars for use   |
| in verifying the mechanical properties after final heat treatment.           |
|                                                                              |
| 4) The Alexandria Inspection department received and inspected the castings  |
| but failed to detect the discrepancy during the production operations prior  |
| to Monday, April 10, 2000.                                                   |
|                                                                              |
| 5) On Tuesday, April 11, 2000, we determined that two valves referenced      |
| earlier in this report had been processed using these castings and were      |
| delivered to customers for use in Nuclear Safety Related Service. At this    |
| point, we opened an investigation per the requirements of US Code of Federal |
| Regulations, Title 10 CFR, Part 21.                                          |
|                                                                              |
| We have conducted a full review of our records and have determined that this |
| situation is isolated to the two valves referenced earlier in this report    |
| and have contacted the customers and are initiating recall actions as of     |
| this writing. Both valves in question were still in the customer's           |
| warehouses and had not been installed in the Safety Related Service          |
| applications.                                                                |
|                                                                              |
| Corrective actions are being initiated to address the internal and external  |
| issues and the details will be provided in our closure report due upon       |
| completion of our investigation into the causes of this situation.           |

| AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM ON LOW REACTOR VESSEL WATER LEVEL (RVWL)  DUE TO 1   |
| OF 2  REACTOR FEED PUMPS (RFP) TRIPPING.  HPCI & RCIC INJECTED INTO THE      |
| REACTOR VESSEL FOR LESS THAN ONE MINUTE.                                     |
|                                                                              |
| Unit 3 was in coastdown planning to enter its scheduled refueling outage on  |
| 04/16/00.  Reactor power level had been reduced from 82% to 70% to place RFP |
| "3A" in service and remove RFP "3C"  from service to investigate the pumps   |
| high EHC oil filter pressure.  RFP "3C" tripped unexpectedly causing an      |
| automatic reactor scram on low RVWL.  Two rods did not indicate fully        |
| inserted (digital indication for rods 22-47 & 18-47 indicated that they were |
| not fully inserted but both rods had a green background indication on the    |
| scram pattern indicating that they were fully inserted) and the appropriated |
| Emergency Operating Instructions EOIs ( 1& C5) were entered. An Alternate    |
| Rod Insertion (ARI)  was initiated per the EOIs after which both rods        |
| indicated that they were fully inserted into the core.                       |
|                                                                              |
| Due to low RVWL both Recirculation Pumps Tripped (RPT trip) and High         |
| Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) and Reactor Core Isolation Cooling (RCIC)  |
| automatically actuated and discharged into the Reactor Vessel for less than  |
| one minute before they were secured.  Primary Containment Isolation Systems  |
| Group 2 (Rad Waste), 3 (Reactor Water Cleanup), 6 (Containment)  & 8         |
| (Traversing in-core probe)  were also received along with the auto start of  |
| the Control Room Ventilation System (CREVS) and the Standby Gas Treatment    |
| System (SBGT) as expected.  All other system operated properly.              |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee is investigating why RFP "3C" tripped and why the digital rod   |
| position for rods 22-48 & 18-47 indicated that they had not fully inserted   |
| into the core.                                                               |

| No work was being performed on  RFP "3C" when it tripped.                    |
|                                                                              |

| On 04/15/00, Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant reported that two control rods       |
| (22-47 and 18-47) did not indicate being fully inserted following the low    |
| Reactor water level scram at 1226 CT.  This is corrected by this update as   |
| control rods 22-47 and 22-15.                                                |

| Subsequent review of process computer control rod data has confirmed that    |
| the two rods (22-47 and 22-15) did fully insert at the time if the scram as  |
| expected.  R2DO (Chris Christensen) notified.                                |

| At 1714 CT Unit 2 tripped from a Nuclear Instrumentation (from all 4 Power   |
| Ranges) negative rate (coincidence with 2 of 4 Power Range Rate change of 5% |
| in 2 seconds) signal. The initiating event appears to have been a dropped    |
| rod. Control Bank "B" P-10 Stationary Gripper Fuse has been found blown.     |
| Following the trip the Motor Driven and the Diesel Driven Auxiliary          |
| feedwater pumps actuated on low steam generator water level signals from all |
| 4 steam generators.  A  P-14 (high 2 on 2 of 4 steam generator levels for    |
| Steam Generator "2C") was processed during the first second of the reactor   |
| trip.  This is an ESF actuation but is considered an invalid signal, because |
| Steam Generator "2C" did not have a high water level, but is reportable. All |
| rods fully inserted into the core. The Unit is stable in Hot Standby with    |
| heat being removed via the steam dumps to the main condenser and main        |
| feedwater is being supplied to maintain proper steam generator water levels. |
| Offsite power is available. Steam Generator atmospheric valves may have      |
| opened but there are no leaking steam generator tubes.                       |
|                                                                              |

| Licensee thinks that Radiation Monitor R-15 air ejector exhaust failed       |
| because its chart recorder indicates erratic downscale counts for            |
| approximately 20 minutes.  Per Radiation Monitor Logic a failure of the      |
| monitor will occur if no counts are detected for 5 minutes.  The licensee    |
| also stated they have been having problems with this detector in the past    |
| and it had been recently replaced.                                           |
