EVENT TEXT

| "EVEN" TRAIN CORE SPRAY, RHR OR RHRSW PUMPS OPERATION FROM THE ALTERNATE |
| SHUTDOWN SYSTEM COULD BE LOST DUE TO A POSTULATED HOT SHORT. |
| |
| An Alternate Shutdown System design deficiency resulting in a vulnerability |
| to a single hot short during a Control Room Cable Spreading Room fire has |
| been identified. The effect of the postulated hot short would be to actuate |
| the Bus 16 load shed logic while the bus is powered from the emergency |
| diesel generator. This could result in the inability to operate the even |
| train Core Spray, Residual Heat Removal (RHR) or RHR Service Water pumps. |
| No means are in place to circumvent the postulated hot short. A one hour |
| fire watch patrol in the cable spreading room and control room has been |
| established with Alternate Shutdown System inoperable. All other Emergency |
| Core Cooling Systems are fully operable. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified of this event by the licensee. |
