| Medicine Department with hospital chart it was discovered that the           |
| misadministration  had occurred.  The technologist notified the authorized   |

| REACTOR AUTOMATICALLY TRIPPED FROM 100% POWER ON REACTOR
TRIP/TURBINE TRIP   |
|                                                                              |
| The reactor trip/turbine trip from 100% power was caused by a loss of main   |
| turbine condenser vacuum that occurred while flushing the condenser          |
| waterboxes.  The cause is unknown and being investigated at this time.   All |
| control rods fully inserted, no ECCS actuated and all emergency and          |
| non-emergency systems functioned as designed.  The main steam stop valves    |
| were manually closed to arrest  RCS cooldown.  RCS temperature was           |
| stabilized using the atmospheric relief valves.                              |
|                                                                              |

| "During restoration from surveillance testing on the 'B' core spray system,  |
| the flow controller for the HPCI system (23FI-108-1) was observed to be      |
| reading 500 gpm with the HPCI system in standby.  The HPCI system was        |
| declared inoperable, and [Technical Specification] 3.5.C.1.b was entered     |
| requiring [either] restoration of 'B' core spray or HPCI to operable status  |
| within 24 hours or [commencement of a unit] shutdown.  'B' core spray was    |
| restored to operability at 1732, and the plant exited [Technical             |
| Specification] 3.5.C.1.b and entered [Technical Specification] 3.5.C.1.a     |
| placing the plant in a [7-day limiting condition for operation (LCO)]."      |

| "Since no actuations occurred and [since] no shutdown was initiated, this is |
| only reportable under 10CFR50.72(b)(3) criteria, specifically 10 CFR         |
| 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D).  This is based on the guidance in NUREG 1022, Rev. 2.     |
| Since HPCI is a single train system, even though [technical specifications]  |
| allow a 7-day LCO, declaring HPCI [inoperable] is reportable."               |
|                                                                              |
| "The only unusual/not understood thing associated with this is the flow      |
| indication of 500 gpm.  There were no actuations required so all equipment   |
| functioned and continues to function as expected.  There are no radiological |
| releases associated with this event."                                        |
