"On 10/24/2010, while in Mode 5 in natural circulation cooling and no fuel movement in progress, the 'A' Control Room Chiller (AK400) tripped apparently due to an equipment failure of a temperature switch. This system was providing cooling for the Safety Auxiliaries Cooling System (SACS) room coolers. This caused the 'A' train of SACS and 'A' Train of Residual Heat Removal (RHR) to be administratively declared inoperable with the remaining train out of service for maintenance. As a result of the inoperable systems, the ability to remove residual heat could have been prevented. The 'A' RHR train, the alternate 'C' RHR train and the 'A' SACS Loop remained continuously available. No personnel were injured."
The licensee is in Technical Specification 3.9.11.1 Shutdown Cooling and 3.8.1.2 for SACS inoperable. The Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) are available but inoperable as a result of SACS being inoperable. Offsite power is not affected and plant risk remains 'Green'. There were no significant events on-going at the time of the event. The licensee is bench testing a replacement switch at this time, and the chiller has been returned to service. The licensee is maintaining natural circulation and ensuring the availability of redundant RHR once a shift.
The NRC Resident Inspector and Lower Alloyways Township have been notified.
* * * RETRACTION FROM J.R. TRAUTVETTER TO J. KNOKE AT 1015 EST ON 12/17/10 * * *
Licensee is retracting this event based on the following:
"Hope Creek Technical Specification 3.9.11 action statement (a) for no OPERABLE RHR loops is to demonstrate the operability of at least one alternate method of decay heat removal within one hour and once per 24 hours thereafter. Prior to and throughout the event, decay heat, removal was maintained via the Fuel Pooling Cooling system through the available heat exchangers with core circulation maintained by natural circulation. Use of the Fuel Pool Cooling for decay heat removal is recognized in station procedures as an alternate method of decay heat removal in technical specification action statement (TSAS) 3.9.11. This retraction is to clarify that the inoperable systems did not prevent the ability to remove residual heat. The outage risk assessment remained Green throughout the period that both RHR loops were inoperable.
"There was no loss of safety function, and therefore, the event is not reportable as an event that prevents the fulfillment of a safety function in accordance with 50.72 (b)(3)(v)(B)."

"During pressure drop testing of the backup nitrogen supply for HCV-345 (Containment Spray Header isolation valve) the accumulator failed its test. This renders HCV-345 inoperable. HCV-344 the opposite header isolation valve also has an air leak that appears to be of similar magnitude to the leak on HCV-345. Fort Calhoun Station is conservatively considering both valves inoperable and has entered technical specification 2.0.1 which requires shutting the plant down to hot standby within 6 hours. The plant shutdown began at 1513 CDT. Repair efforts are underway on HCV-345 and HCV-344."
The leakage on both valves was identified by systems engineering during testing.
The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector.

| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3" level of radioactive material. | Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN TROXLER SOIL MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The following report was received via facsimile:
At 1545 EST on 12/14/10, the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control received an initial report from the licensee concerning a stolen soil moisture density gauge. The gauge was stolen from a truck at either the employee's residence [Branford, FL] or the licensee's place of business. A chain was cut from the truck securing the case with the gauge inside. Both the case and gauge were discovered stolen. The licensee still has keys to the gauge and will offer a reward for its recovery. Jacksonville Inspection Office will investigate.
The Soil Moisture Density Gauge is a Troxler Model 3430, serial #27858, containing 40 mCi of Am/Be and 8 mCi of Cs-137 sources.
FL Incident No.: FL10-120
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.

| Event Text BOTH HF DETECTORS IN GHS TEST LOOP FAILED TO BE AVAILABLE AND OPERABLE
"During a performance of internal procedure to verify functionality of installed HF detectors in the Test Loop (TL) Gas Handling System (GHS) room, it was discovered at about 1044 [EST on] 12/16/10, that both IROFS TL-HF-01 and IROFS TL-HF-02 failed to pass internal test requirements. At least one of these HF detector IROFS is required to be available and operable to meet 10 CFR 70.61 performance requirements.
"The installed HF detector electrochemical sensors performance appears to have been degraded as a result of low room 'relative humidity' as a result of unusually cold outdoor conditions. The independent IROFS TL-HF-04 (an administrative control) remained intact, thus no unsafe condition existed. While one documented IROFS remained functional (TL-HF-04) to assure the consequence of chemical and radiological exposure is maintained low, TL-HF-04 could not alone meet 10 CFR 70.61 performance requirements.
"No loss of UF6 containment occurred in affected process equipment. The degradation of TL-HF-01 and TL-HF-02 was observed as part of the IROFS' periodic surveillance. This event is therefore being reported pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 70 Appendix A(b)(2) within 24 hours. The affected TL bench scale experiment equipment will remain shutdown pending further investigation and implementation of associated corrective actions.
"SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS - Low safety significance - the discovery did not result in an unsafe condition.
"SAFETY EQUIPMENT STATUS - Required IROFS TL-HF-01 and TL-HF-02 functionality being re-established.
"STATUS OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS - The affected TL process operation remains shutdown pending investigation and implementation of corrective actions."

"At 0937 CST, 12/17/2010, the Kentucky Emergency Response Team (Report Number 2321984), the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection, and the National Response Center (Report Number 962502) were notified of the following issue: a diesel fuel oil leak occurred from a pressure indicating line from storage tank located at [Bldg] C-600. The amount of diesel fuel that leaked from the storage tank is greater than the reportable quantity of 75 gallons. The secondary containment drain valve leaked which allowed the diesel fuel to reach the oil containment underflow dam at outfall 008. The diesel fuel is currently contained in the oil containment underflow dam. The effluent from outfall 008 has been tested and does not contain any detectable diesel fuel. Additionally, no visible sheen was observed from the effluent from outfall 008. Cleanup of the diesel fuel is in progress.
"This event is reportable as 'USEC shall notify NRC of any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or on-site personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a news release is planned or notification to other government agencies has been or will be made. Such an event may include an on-site fatality or inadvertent release of radioactively contaminated materials.'

"A post-fire safe shutdown (PFSSD) circuit analysis identified the potential for a fire in the Control Room to cause multiple proper polarity hot shorts causing the Pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORV) to open. This postulated failure would require at least three separate 'smart' hot shorts including 1) a positive external hot short, 2) a negative external hot short, and 3) a short across the control room hand switch to cause each PORV to open. This could result in a loss of coolant accident inside the containment building.
"This circuit analysis also identified that a fire in the control room could cause the recirculation dampers associated with the 'B' Essential Service Water Pump Room and 'B' Emergency Diesel Generator Room to fail open, closed, or anywhere in between. This could cause the room temperatures to drop below the minimum or rise above maximum design temperatures depending on ambient conditions.
"Compensatory measures are established for early detection and extinguishment of a fire associated with these circuits in the Control Room. Procedure changes are also being developed for Control Room Evacuation."
