| LOSS OF SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM (SPDS) |
| |
| "At 0220 hours on 01/07/03, the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) |
| portion of the Emergency Response Facility Computer System (ERFCS) was noted |
| to be inoperable, due to all outputs being displayed in "magenta" color. |
| |
| "Troubleshooting of the ERFCS determined that the "B" train of the ERFCS had |
| failed and prevented the "A' train from booting as required. This resulted |
| in the failure of both trains of ERFCS and SPDS. Instrumentation & Controls |
| personnel were able to restore the "A" train ERFCS and at 0450 hours on |
| 01/07/03 the ERFCS and SPDS were returned to service. |
| |
| "SPDS was out of service for greater than 1 hour, which is considered a |
| major loss of emergency assessment capability. |
| |
| "This report is being made in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii). |
| |
| "NRC, Mr. Crouch notified. Faxed to NRC # 301-816-5161 at 0618 hours." |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the Licensee. |
