| ERDS INOPERABLE DUE TO PLANNED OUTAGE OF THE PLANT PROCESS COMPUTER
SYSTEM |
| (PPCS) |
| |
| AT 1232 CT, the Point Beach Nuclear Plant ERDS became inoperable as a result |
| of modifications to change out the plant process computer system (PPCS). |
| This is a planned evolution. ERDS will remain inoperable until |
| approximately, December 18, 2001. |
| |
| This information was verbally provided to a representative of NRR during the |
| week of 10/15/2001. The senior resident inspector has also been briefed on |
| the modifications and schedule. NMC to NRC letter (NRC 01-0080) dated |
| 11/21/2001 stated we would be submitting this Non-Emergency report. |
| |
| ***** UPDATE FROM RICK ROBBINS TO LEIGH TROCINE AT 2006 EST ON 11/27/01 |
| ***** |
| |
| The following additional information is a portion of a facsimile received |
| from the licensee: |
| |
| "As part of the PPCS modification, several inputs to the SPDS monitor were |
| also made unavailable. Any out-of-service indications on the SPDS can be |
| obtained by control room control board indications." |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. The NRC operations center |
| notified the R3DO (Bruce Jorgensen). |
| |
| * * * UPDATE 1259EST ON 12/22/01 FROM RYAN RODE TO S. SANDIN * * * |
| |
| The licensee provided the following information as an update: |
| |
| "On 11/26/01 at 12:32, the PBNP ERDS and SPDS were declared out of service |
| for the PPCS upgrade project. EN #38518 indicated to the NRC that the |
| systems would remain unavailable until approximately December 18, 2001. Due |
| to reliability issues with the newly installed PPCS, that expected date has |
| been delayed to approximately January 3, 2002." |
| |
| The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R3DO(Phillips). |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 01/03/02 @1430 BY MEYER TO GOULD * * * |
| |
| During the installation of the new PPCS, issues were identified which need |
| to be resolved to allow SPDS and ERDS to be placed back in service fully. |
| Currently, the new PPCS is only partially operable. Work is continuing on |
| the new PPCS to allow full operability. The current estimate for return to |
| service of SPDS and ERDS is 01/19/02. This date may need to be extended |
| again due to parts availability. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. |
