| 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. |
| |

| HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION (HPCI) SYSTEM DECLARED INOPERABLE
|
| |
| During the performance of the quarterly valve surveillance test for the HPCI |
| system, a testable check valve, 1FD-V032, related to the HPCI Barometric |
| Condenser Discharge Line, failed. This failure rendered the HPCI system |
| inoperable at 1410 EST on 01/06/02. The licensee entered an active 14 day |
| Limiting Condition of Operation that expires on 01/20/02 at 1410 EST. All |
| other safety systems are operable. Current plans to return plant to normal |
| configuration include the development of corrective maintenance work |
| package. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified of this event by the licensee. |
| |
| ***3/1/02 0952 Event was retracted by Licensee; Jim Priest to Mike |
| Norris.*** |
| |
| "PSEG Nuclear retracts the event notification made on 1/6/02 (event number |
| 38611). |
| |
| "Barometric condenser condensate pump discharge check valve 1 FD-V032 was |
| opened and inspected. The valve internals were cleaned and the valve was |
| reassembled and retested satisfactorily. |
| |
| "Subsequent evaluation determined that failure of 1 FD-V032 to close would |
| not have prevented the HPCI system from performing its safety function. |
| Reverse flow through 1 FD-V032 would not degrade the flow that HPCI supplies |
| the reactor vessel during a postulated accident. |
| |
| "Since the HPCI system remained capable of performing its safety function, |
| this event is not reportable. |
| |
| "The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of this event by the |
| licensee." |

| OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO OIL SPILL INTO DELAWARE RIVER |
| |
| "On March 3, 2002 at 0218 a cooling line to 12B circulating water pump upper |
| motor bearing ruptured inside the upper oil reservoir. Oil was displaced |
| from the oil reservoir and approximately 50 gallons of oil entered the |
| Delaware River. 12B circulating water pump was removed from service and the |
| leak was terminated. Cleanup efforts by onsite personnel are in progress. A |
| 15 minute report was made to the New Jersey Department of Environmental |
| Protection. A two hour report was made to the National Response Center in |
| accordance with the site spill plan. |
| |
| Salem Unit 1 was initially at 100% power with 13B circulating water pump out |
| of service for scheduled maintenance. Power reduction is currently in |
| progress in response to the loss of 12B circulating water pump with a target |
| power level of 40%." |

| the total minimum pathway leak rate exceeds the required limit of 300 scfh. |
| The MSIV pathway combined leak rate was 1051 scfh. The identified degraded |
| condition is reportable as a condition of the nuclear power plant, including |
| its principal safety barriers being seriously degraded per |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)." |
