"On 4/2512005 at 12:00 p.m., EDT the Hatch Nuclear Plant's Technical Support Center (TSC) was removed from service for planned maintenance and equipment modifications. The maintenance activities require relocation of the control panel (1X75-C001) which contains the HVAC controls and annunciators as well as the radiation monitoring meter and annunciator. The loss of this equipment requires taking the TSC out of service. The maintenance activities are scheduled to take five weeks. The alternate TSC will remain operable and available, so no loss of TSC function will occur due to the maintenance activity.
"This event is reportable per 10CFR50.72 (b)(3)(xiii) as described in NUREG-1022, Rev. 2 since this work activity results in a loss of an emergency response facility for the duration of the evolution."
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified and state and local notifications will be made.

"At 1432 on May 4, 2005, V.C Summer declared a Notification of Unusual Event (NUE) due to a small fire in the reactor building that lasted for more than 15 minutes inside the protected area of the plant. The reactor was defueled at the time. There were no injuries, radiological conditions remained unchanged, and no safety related equipment was affected. Personal were not required to evacuate the building and the fire brigade was not activated. The resident NRC inspector and all appropriate state and local officials were notified. There was no radiological release. Details are as follows:
"At 1410, a health physics technician noticed smoke in the refueling cavity. Upon investigation, it was noted that a temporary lighting power cord had electrically shorted. The power source was isolated at 1420. The electrical short had ignited a small patch of strippable coating that was applied to the cavity floor for contamination control. The resulting flames were extinguished with demineralized water at 1430. A NUE was declared at 1432 in accordance with licensee procedure EPP-001, Activation and Implementation of Emergency Plan. The area was monitored to ensure that there were no further issues and the NUE was downgraded at 1517." | |
