| AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP DUE TO LOW STEAM GENERATOR WATER LEVEL |
| |
| A malfunction occurred on the "A" main feed pump that resulted in a low |
| water level in the no. 1 steam generator causing an automatic reactor trip |
| from 55% reactor power. Operators manually started auxiliary feed water to |
| control water level during post trip conditions. The steam generator water |
| level did not decrease low enough to prompt an automatic start of the |
| auxiliary feed water system. All control rods properly inserted into the |
| core. The cause of the loss of the "A" main feed pump is being reviewed as |
| part of the post trip review. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified by the licensee. |

| |
| On 8/7/02 during a training exercise the shutter on a Picker Cyclops Camera |
| Unit failed to close. The licensee manually cranked the shutter to the |
| closed position and locked/tagged the device to prevent operation. The |
| licensed maintenance technician was notified to initiate repairs. The |
| Camera is used by the Crane Army Munitions Activity for certification |
| training of radiographers. The Cyclops Camera is a model 590 manufactured |
| by Picker Corp. The source is 1645 Curies of Cobalt-60, S/N T1520, |
| manufactured by Neutron Products. There was no personnel exposure |
| associated with this incident. |
