| 24-HOUR REPORT DUE TO VIOLATION OF LICENSE CONDITION |
| |
| "On 10/30/2001 at 1900 hours, during a walkdown of approximately 600 fire |
| barrier penetrations which had been mistakenly excluded from the Fermi 2 |
| fire barrier penetration seal inspection program, 11 penetrations were found |
| to have no seal material installed. To date, over 350 of the approximately |
| 600 fire barrier penetrations not included in the program have been |
| inspected. The lack of seal material in these penetrations constitutes an |
| inoperable 10 CFR 50, Appendix R fire rated barrier and is reportable under |
| License Condition 2.F as a violation of License Condition 2.C (9), |
| 'Modifications for Fire Protection.' The plant is currently shut down for |
| refueling. Hourly fire watches have been established in the affected areas |
| as required by the Technical Requirements Manual. Detroit Edison will report |
| any further missing seals that are identified as part of this inspection." |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this report by the |
| licensee. |
| |
| * * * UPDATE 11/23/01 AT 1805EST FROM KEVIN DAHM TO S. SANDIN * * * |
| |
| The licensee is retracting this report based on the following: |
| |
| "The 600 (approximately) fire barrier penetration seals which had been |
| mistakenly excluded from the Fermi 2 fire barrier penetration seal |
| inspection program have now all been inspected. Fifteen (15) of these |
| penetrations were found to have not been sealed. These 15 penetrations are |
| all in the same fire barrier. This fire barrier has been evaluated in |
| accordance with Generic Letter 86-10, and it has been determined that the as |
| found configuration is adequate to ensure the capability to achieve and |
| maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. Therefore, this condition |
| does not constitute a violation of License Condition 2.C.(9) and is not |
| reportable." |
| |
| The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R3DO(Lipa). |

| OFFSITE NOTIFICATION REGARDING RELEASE OF NONRADIOACTIVE CHEMICALLY
TREATED |
| WATER |
| |
| "During routine surveillance run of Fire Protection Pump X-05, the shutdown |
| of the pump caused a momentary drop in system pressure resulting in the |
| autostart of Fire Protection Pump X-04. The start of the second pump |
| resulted in a momentary pressure surge that caused a pipe cap to separate |
| releasing approximately 6,500 gallons of nonradioactive, chemically treated |
| water to the environment and Squaw Creek Reservoir. |
| |
| "Fire protection water is treated with Bulab 6002. This spill is reportable |
| to the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). TNRCC was |
| notified at 0815 CST on 11/24/01. |
| |
| "Actions taken to contain/control the spill were adequate. Monitoring for |
| fish kill is ongoing. No evidence of fish kill is evident to date." |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this event by the licensee. |
