| REACTOR VESSEL BOTTOM HEAD DEGRADED CONDITION |
| |
| "On 4/12/2003, during the Unit 1 11th (1RE11) refueling outage, an |
| inspection was performed of the vessel bottom head. This bare metal |
| inspection identified a potential leak indication at the head to penetration |
| interface for Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) penetrations 1 and 46. |
| There was a small amount of residue around the outer circumference of the |
| BMI penetrations. No wastage was observed. Samples of the residue were taken |
| and the area was cleaned with demineralized water. Chemical sample results |
| available as of 1300 on 4/13/2003 are not conclusive; however, they have |
| confirmed that the residue found at the Penetration 46 contains boron, |
| indicating that this could be an RCS leak. The residue removed from |
| Penetration 1 was characterized as 'gummy' and its composition is still |
| under investigation. Additional exams are planned to confirm the likely |
| origin of the residue and to determine the scope of any repairs. There has |
| been no indication of RCS leakage observed at the BMI penetrations during |
| previous operational cycles. This notification is being made in accordance |
| with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A)." |
| |
| Unit 1 will remain in mode 5 until appropriate corrective actions are |
| identified. The licensee informed the NRC resident inspector. |

| SAFETY SYSTEM ACTUATION |
| |
| On 5/15/03 @1400 during pigtail disconnect, a small amount of particulate |
| fell from the pigtail. This particulate began to smoke resulting in a see |
| and flee. During the see and flee the gas release alarm was activated. The |
| alarm resulted in the actuation of a "Q" Safety system while in applicable |
| mode (mode III). The PSS Responded to the see and flee. The affected |
| cylinder was made inoperable. No spread of contamination outside already |
| posted area. Air sampling results are less than MDA. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified. |
| |
| * * * UPDATE AT 23:46 EDT ON 5/20/03 FROM McCLEERY TO CROUCH * * * |
| |
| The following update was received from the regulatee via facsimile: |
| |
| "5/20/05: As requested, this is additional information to clarify some |
| questions in the initial report of PTS-2003-011. Mode III (Cylinder/Pigtail |
| Operations) includes but is not limited to pigtail |
| connection/disconnections, roll/tilt and valve clarity checks; steam valves |
| closed, cylinder valve or safety valve may or may not be closed. MDA is |
| minimum detectable activity. The initial report should have been marked as |
| Other Non-CFR Requirements in place of (c)(2) safety equipment failure. |
| |
| Additionally, during the investigation of the event it was determined the |
| cylinder safety valve air supply was removed prior to the see and flee. |
| This condition is reportable under 76.120 (c)(2)(ii) [and] 76.120 (d)(2). |
| The equipment is required by Technical Safety Requirements (TSR) to be |

| SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE |
| |
| The following information was obtained from the regulatee via facsimile: |
| |
| "05/20/03 at 0930 hrs. following the investigation into circumstances |
| surrounding NRC Event #39853 (PTS-2003-011 update #1), the Plant Shift |
| Superintendent's (PSS) office was notified that the air supply line to the |
| parent cylinder safety valves had been disconnected during applicable TSR |
| mode III (Cylinder/Pigtail Operations) on multiple occasions in both the |
| X-343 and X-344 facilities. Discussions with facility management and |
| operating personnel indicate the air supply line was disconnected in |
| preparation for sampling operations. This condition is reportable under |
| 76.120 (c)(2)(ii) and 76.120 (d)(2). The equipment is required by Technical |
| Safety Requirements (TSR) to be available and operable and either should |
| have been operating or have operated on demand. |
| |
| "The PSS directed an extent of condition be performed for cylinder |
| operations in X-342, X-343, X-344 and X-326 withdrawal station. The result |
| of the extent of condition placed the X-343 sample autoclaves in mode VII |
| (shutdown) and removed from service until affected procedures can be |
| changed, the X-344 autoclaves remain operable, the X-342 autoclaves remains |
| inoperable, and the X-326 withdrawal station remains operable." |

| CRITICALITY CONTROL 24-HOUR REPORT (BULLETIN 91-01) |
| |
| The following information was received from the regulatee via facsimile : |
| |
| "At 1915 on 5/20/03, the Plant Shift Superintendent (PSS) was notified that |
| some removed process gas equipment item groups in C-720 have not received |
| proper independent mass verification in violation of NCSA GEN-010. The |
| group mass is required to be independently verified to be within always safe |
| mass limits. This is done by independently verifying the equipment item |
| mass is correctly copied onto the grouping sheet. An entry was discovered |
| on the grouping sheet in which the mass on the equipment was 0 [zero] |
| pounds, however the GEN-010 tag on the equipment item indicated a mass of |
| 284 pounds of uranium at 1.38% enrichment. Additionally, several equipment |
| items were tagged with GEN-010 tags that had information lined out and |
| corrected, appearing to violate the independent verification of the |
| equipment item mass, on the tag. This information was then subsequently |
| used for grouping purposes on the equipment grouping sheet. This is a legacy |
| issue, as the dates on the tags are from the 97-98 timeframe. |
| |
| "SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS: |
| |
| "Double contingency was not maintained because the independent verification |
| of mass has not been performed. However, the policy for the shop is to only |
| allow items which have been fully decontaminated into the shop, which gives |
| high confidence that less than a safe mass is present. |
| |
| "POTENTIAL CRITICALITY PATHWAYS INVOLVED (BRIEF SCENARIO(S) OF HOW |
| CRITICALITY COULD OCCUR): |
| |
| "In order for a criticality to be possible, greater than a critical mass of |
| uranium must be accumulated [and] then become moderated. |
| |
| "CONTROLLED PARAMETERS (MASS, MODERATION, GEOMETRY, CONCENTRATION, ETC.): |
| |
| "Double contingency is maintained by implementing two controls on mass. |
| |
| "ESTIMATED AMOUNT, ENRICHMENT, FORM OF LICENSED MATERIAL (INCLUDE PROCESS |
| LIMIT AND % WORST CASE CRITICAL MASS): |
| |
| "Less than an always safe mass of uranium. |
| |
| "NUCLEAR CRITICALITY SAFETY CONTROL(S) OR CONTROL SYSTEM(S) AND DESCRIPTION |
| OF THE FAILURES OR DEFICIENCIES: |
| |
| "The first leg of double contingency is based on mass. NCSA GEN-010 |
| requires that the total uranium mass of grouped items be verified less than |
| the UH [Uncomplicated Handling] mass limit and documented. The mass of an |
| equipment item was incorrectly copied onto the grouping sheet. However, the |
| listed mass for the item is UH at the listed enrichment. In addition, other |
| items in the group have tags, which indicate no visible contamination but |
| have been updated and only have one signature. This mass was then used in |
| the grouping. The control was violated, however the parameter has been |
| maintained. |
| |
| "The second leg of double contingency is based on mass. NCSA GEN-010 |
| requires that the total uranium mass of grouped items be independently |
| verified less than the UH mass limit and documented in accordance with |
| CP2-PO-FO1031 [a facility procedure]. The independent verification was |
| incorrectly performed; therefore, this control was violated. Since there |
| are two controls on one parameter, double contingency was not maintained. |
| |
| "Since double contingency is based on two controls on one parameter, and a |
| control was violated, double contingency was not maintained. |
| |
| "CORRECTIVE ACTIONS TO RESTORE SAFETY SYSTEMS AND WHEN EACH WAS |
| IMPLEMENTED: |
| |
| "Ensure each item in the group is properly tagged according to CP2-CO-CN2030 |
| [a facility procedure]. Properly group and document each equipment item |
| according to CP2-CO-CN2030. Upon completion of the above corrective |
| actions, the exclusion zone and postings may be removed." |
| |
| The regulatee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |

| |
| "During calibration of Dresden Unit 2 Electromatic Relief Valve/Target Rock |

| outside the Technical Specification (TS) Allowable Range and outside the |
| Analytical Limit (1.5 psig above the TS Allowable). Setpoints for the B and |

| TS allowable respectively. The TS Bases state that four ERVs are required |
| to accomplish the safety function for pressure mitigation. This event is |
| reportable because two of five ERV pressure switches were outside TS |
| allowables, which could have prevented fulfillment of the safety function |
| for pressure mitigation (10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)]. The pressure switch |
