| DISCOVERY OF 2 FIRE DOORS THAT MAY NOT MEET APPENDIX R REQUIREMENTS          |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee discovered that two Appendix R Barrier Doors may not have       |
| automatically closed when required.  The doors are normally open doors,      |
| designed to close automatically when a single temperature sensitive fusible  |
| link melts.  Contrary to the design it was discovered that the installation  |
| of the doors and associated fusible links may prevent the doors from         |
| closing.  In one scenario it would require two fusible links to melt to get  |
| the door closure.  This condition existed due to Kewaunee's failure to       |
| properly install the actuation equipment.                                    |
|                                                                              |
| Prior to the discovery, the doors have been closed as part of efforts        |
| involving a previous door failure (Event #37668 and LER 2001-01-00).         |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee will keep the doors administratively closed until the problems  |
| are corrected.                                                               |

| The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.                            |

| DISCOVERY OF A HATCH PLUGGED THAT SHOULD NOT BE PLUGGED                      |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee was conducting an engineering review of HELB analysis in the    |
| reactor building which revealed the fact that a hatch was plugged that       |
| should not be plugged per the analysis.  The plug is thought to have been in |
| place since about 1983. This questions operability of various safety related |
| power supplies.  This discovery puts the plant into a 24 hour plant shutdown |
| technical specification.  The licensee expects to fix the problem prior to   |
| the 24 hour clock time limit.                                                |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector.                   |

| The licensee made a call to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency at 1300 PST   |
| to notify them of a dead brown pelican found within the protected area.  The |
| pelican was found at 0800 PST and identified it as a brown pelican,          |
| protected by the Endangered Species Act, at 1200 PST.                        |
|                                                                              |
