"The Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and Emergency Response Data System (ERDS) were removed from service while implementing a planned modification to replace the Visual Annunciator System, Iso-Mimic display system, and support planned maintenance on uninterruptible power supplies. SPDS and ERDS will be returned to service in approximately 14 days. During this period, any out of service indication on the SPDS can be obtained by control board indications. The Emergency Notification System will remain operable. These conditions are reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The NRC Resident inspector has been notified. The plant is in Mode 4, Reactor Coolant Temperature is 115 deg and Div. 1 RHR is in shutdown cooling."

| Event Text TEXAS AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - ABANDONED WELL LOGGING SOURCE
"On August 30, 2004, Schlumberger Technology Corporation was logging the Allar #1 well, operated by Famcor Oil, Inc., API # 42-407-30612, located in San Jacinto County, Texas. The well logging tool string became stuck during logging operations in the 11,998 foot well. The source string is below 3,319 feet of drill pipe stuck in sand-shale and sand-shale interfaces. Multiple attempts at recovery were conducted between 10/22/2004 and 10/29/2004. The Licensee notified the Agency of probable abandonment on 10/28/2004. The tool string contained two sealed radioactive well logging sources. The Licensee has not informed the Agency of the manufacturer of the sources. However, the 16 Curie Am-241/Be Neutron source, Model NSRF, Serial No G5053, is stuck and cemented in place at 8,326 feet [mine depth (MD)] , and the 1.7 Curie Cs-137 Density source, Model GSRJ, Serial No. Al 927, is stuck and cemented in place at 8,339 feet MD. Both sources were last leak tested on April 3, 2004, and were current on the date the sources became stuck in the well bore. Two-hundred feet of red oxide dyed cement is spotted on top of the stuck drill pipe from 4,984 feet to 4,750 feet. A used drill bit was placed as a deflection device at 4,750 feet. An additional 208 feet of cement was place on top of the drill bit, with the top of the cement located at 4,550 feet. The job was completed on October 30, 2004. A required plaque was ordered on November 19, 2004, and will be placed on the well head when received."

"Dropped rod E-11 in Shut Down Bank 'B' at 2334 on 11/28/04 while performing Low Power Physics Testing after refueling. Shutdown bank not fully withdrawn with dropped rod placed Unit 3 in Tech Spec Action Statement 3.0.3. RX trip breakers were opened at 0009 [11/29/04]. Unit 3 entered 3-EOP-E.O, Reactor Trip or Safety Injection, the unit was placed in Mode 3 and transitioned to 3-EOP-ES-0.1, Reactor Trip Response and then into 3-GOP-301. All plant equipment responded as required and the unit remains stable in mode 3 while the Rod Control failure is investigated."

"On 11/29/04, a leased mobile crane discharged approximately 50 gallons of hydraulic oil through a faulted line as maintenance contractors were performing pre-operational checks. The oil spill was confined to the compacted shell rock ground area beneath the crane. Immediate actions were taken to clean and remove the spilled oil using absorbent material and by removing saturated soil. The magnitude of the spill required off-site notification to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and to the St. Lucie County Health Dept."
