| 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.                               |

|                                                                              |

| 60 - DAY OPTIONAL 10 CFR 50.73 REPORT - INVALID ACTUATION OF THE RPS SYSTEM  |

|                                                                              |

| "The following notification is provided by [Entergy Nuclear Operations] ENO  |

| regarding Indian Point Unit 2 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) as 'Any  |

| event or condition that resulted in manual or automatic actuation of the     |

| reactor protection system (RPS) including: reactor scram or reactor trip.'   |

| This notification is provided in lieu of submitting a written LER for a RPS  |

| actuation that was invalid and occurred while the reactor was subcritical.   |

|                                                                              |

| "On November 22, 2002, at approximately 0943 hours, a reactor trip signal    |

| occurred and the reactor trip breakers opened. The plant was in Hot Shutdown |

| Condition following the completion of 2R15 refueling activities with the     |

| reactor subcritical (100 cps), and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS)          |

| temperature and pressure at 548 F and 2195 psig, respectively. Control rod   |

| testing was in progress with Control Rod Shutdown Bank 'A' withdrawn at two  |

| steps. All other control rods were at zero steps.                            |

|                                                                              |

| "An invalid RPS actuation was initiated while in this condition due to       |

| ongoing work.  At approximately 0930 hours, in preparation for control rod   |

| drop testing the reactor trip breakers were closed. At approximately the     |

| same time, technicians were in the process of re-terminating previously      |

| de-termed RCS narrow range [Resistance Temperature Detector] RTD's.  At      |

| approximately 0940 hours, Control Rod Shutdown Bank 'A' was withdrawn at two |

| steps to support control rod drop testing.  At approximately 0943 hours,     |

| technicians landed a lead on loop 1 cold leg RTD, generating an Over         |

| Temperature Delta Temperature (OTDT) signal. This resulted in a reactor trip |

| due to a 2/4 channel OTDT trip logic.  OTDT channel 2 was previously placed  |

| in trip due to nuclear flux power range channel N-42 connected to the        |

| reactivity computer in support of low power physics testing. The reactor     |

| trip breakers opened, inserting Shutdown Bank 'A' rods.  All other rods were |

| already fully inserted. Plant response was as expected. This trip did not    |

| cause a primary or secondary transient. Plant recovery was achieved in       |

| accordance with existing operating procedures."                              |

|                                                                              |

| Licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.                             |

| At 0830 on 1/7/03, it was discovered that a patient receiving braqchytherapy |

| to the right lung using a high dose remote afterloader, received an actual   |

| dose less than the prescribed dose.  The source was a 5.2 curie Ir-192 and   |

| the prescribed dose was 2000 cGy, which was to be administered  in four 500  |

| cGy increments. The computer was programmed for the four increments, but the |

| total prescribed dose was set for 500 cGy, resulting in an actual dose       |

| delivered of 125 cGy.  The patient was informed that the dose received was   |

| lower than intended and they would be receiving the total prescribed dose in |

| the remaining three increments.  The attending Physician will be notified.   |
