| UNIT 2 COMMENCED A TECH SPEC REQUIRED SHUTDOWN AFTER TWO IRPIs IN THE SAME |
| GROUP WERE DECLARED INOPERABLE |
| |
| The following information was received by fax: |
| |
| Notification time: 2231 hrs EDT 6-28-00 |
| Event Notification No.: 37129 |
| NRC Contact: Steve Sandin |
| Cook Caller: SJ Cherba |
| Power Level Prior to event: 79.6% |
| |
| Notification Script: |
| |
| This is Steve Cherba at the Cook Unit 2 Nuclear Plant making a one hour, |
| non-emergency notification for initiation of a nuclear plant shutdown |
| required by Technical Specifications in accordance with |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(1)(i)(A). The shutdown was initiated to comply with TS 3.0.3 @ |
| 2224 hrs EDT on 6-28-00. The TS 3.0.3 one hour limit for initiating a |
| shutdown would have expired @ 2228 hrs EDT on 6-28-00. TS 3.0.3 was entered |
| when it was discovered that the unit had two Individual Rod Position |
| Indicators (IRPIs ) in one group that were INOPERABLE, exceeding the |
| allowable actions of TS 3.1.3.2 a., which only allows a maximum of one |
| INOPERABLE IRPI per rod group. These IRPIs became INOPERABLE when, without |
| any associated rod movement, the indicated rod position drifted above the |
| allowable rod deviation limit. Instrument technicians are in the process of |
| calibrating these IRPIs and we expect to exit this situation within two |
| hours without completing the shutdown. |
| |
| The control rod IRPIs were H12 & M8, both associated with Control Bank D, |
| Group 2. |
| |
| Post Script to this notification: |
| |
| The two IRPIs were calibrated for drift caused by the RCS temperature |
| increase associated with the unit power increase following the outage and |
| are within allowable limits and OPERABLE @ 2250 hrs EDT 6-28-00. The |
| shutdown was halted and power stabilized @ 2250 hrs EDT 6-28-00. NRC |
| resident personnel were informed of the condition and shutdown at 2230 hrs |
| EDT ( J Maynen) & 2240 hrs EDT ( B Bartlett). Power Level when shutdown |
| stopped: 78.9%. |
