BOTH TRAINS OF CONTROL ROOM AREA CHILL WATER INOPERABLE
The train 'A' control room area chill water was declared inoperable at 1350 EDT due to a refrigerant leak. Subsequently the train 'B' control room area chill water tripped and at 1705 EDT technical specification 3.0.3 was entered due to both trains being inoperable. At 1747 EDT the train 'A' was declared operable and the technical specification 3.0.3 was exited. The report is made due to the 42 minutes both trains were inoperable which could have prevented the performance of a safety function. Troubleshooting continues on train 'B'.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * RETRACTED AT 1305 EDT ON 7/26/02 BY JIM DEAN TO FANGIE JONES * * *
The licensee is retracting the event based on further determination that the 'A' train of the control room area chill water system remained operable and capable of performing its safety related function in the presence of the refrigerant leak.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The R2DO (Mark Lesser) was notified.

UNPLANNED CONTAMINATION RESTRICTING ACCESS >24 HOURS
The ARMY is conducting an investigation as to the disposal of 75 to 100 Pm-147 target sights. Each sight was originally 3 millicuries with a manufacture date of approximately 1975. The ARMY is restricting access into a building where these gun sights were disposed of in 1997.
* * * UPDATE ON 8/01/02 @ 1513 BY CROOKS TO GOULD * * * EVENT RETRACTION
A wipe test was performed at the area in question and from the 18 wipes taken 16 were clean and one measured 5 dpm and a second measured 6 dpm. Therefore the licensee is retracting this event since there was no contamination present.
