| "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.                                                                   |

| 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,                 |
|                                                                              |

| 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.                                |
