| INVALID PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION SYSTEM ACTUATION DURING |
| POST-MODIFICATION TEST ACTIVITIES |
| |
| "This 60-day telephone notification is being made under reporting |
| requirements specified by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A), to describe an invalid |
| actuation of the primary containment isolation system. |
| |
| "Unit 2 was in mode 5 on day 24 of a scheduled refueling outage with the |
| reactor cavity flooded. Unit 3 was at 100 percent power. The impact on the |
| facility from the event was minimal. The plant equipment responded |
| correctly. |
| |
| "On April 11, 2001 at 0827 hours Central Daylight Time, Unit 2 received |
| invalid Group 2, 3, 6 and 8 Primary Containment Isolation Signals (PCIS) |
| during performance of Post-Modification Testing (PMT) activities. The PCIS |
| isolations were a result of an invalid low reactor water level signal |
| generated when the power fuses were removed during the test, |
| |
| "The following actuations/isolations occurred: (Group 3) Reactor Water |
| Cleanup system isolated, (Group 6) Stand by Gas Treatment system Trains A, |
| B, and C started, Control Room Emergency Ventilation B started, and |
| ventilation systems that were not removed from service. Groups 2 and 8 |
| components were removed from service to support outage activities, |
| subsequently, no equipment response occurred. |
| |
| "The effected systems were returned to their pre-event configuration. There |
| were no safety consequences or compromises to the health and safety of the |
| public. The event was entered into TVA's corrective action program for |
| resolution. |
| |
| "The NRC Site Resident Inspector has been notified." |
