| "This report is being made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii), Major loss  |

| of emergency assessment capability. Electrical Maintenance Department        |

| personnel were removing an Annunciator System power supply inverter as part  |

| of pre-planned maintenance. During the removal of the inverter, a short      |

| occurred which resulted in the loss of power to all of the Division II       |

| powered annunciators (about 50 % of all annunciators). The station entered   |

| the abnormal response procedure and took compensatory action for monitoring  |

| equipment and plant status. At present, troubleshooting activities are in    |

| progress to restore full annunciator capability."                            |
