SHIFT SECURITY STAFFING BELOW SECURITY PLAN LEVEL

A security guard failed a random drug test and was immediately removed from duties. This placed the site below the minimum security level for approximately 1 hour. (Contact the HOO for more details.)

***** RETRACTION RECEIVED AT 1805 EDT ON 07/24/02 FROM JAY GERONDALE TO LEIGH TROCINE *****

The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee:

"On 06/22/02, PBNP provided a courtesy notification regarding a situation where for a brief period of time security shift staffing fell below the minimum staffing levels specified in the PBNP security plan. The purpose of this notification was for information only and not because the licensee had determined the event to be reportable in accordance with either 10 CFR 73.71 or 10 CFR 26.73. Further, the situation did not result in violation of security plan requirements since the security plan provides an allowable period of time for call in of replacement personnel when unanticipated absences occur. Replacement personnel were called in and reported for duty well within the period of time specified in the security plan."

The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. The NRC operations officer notified the R3DO (Chris Miller).

VOLUNTARY INFORMATION REPORT ON PLANNED SPDS OUTAGE AT SALEM

"The safety parameter display system (SPDS) is being removed from service to perform planned upgrades to the system. The removal of SPDS from service for Salem Units 1 & 2 also affects the transmission of data from the emergency response data system (ERDS). Appropriate compensatory measures are in place while the SPDS system is out of service. SPDS is expected to return to service by end of August. This is considered a condition warranting voluntary/courtesy NRC notification"

The NRC resident inspector has been notified.
