"The Technical Support Center (TSC) has been rendered non-functional due to a malfunctioning ventilation system. Investigation into elevated TSC temperature led to the discovery of a malfunctioning compressor. Repairs to TSC ventilation have commenced.
"Per Emergency Plan Procedure IP-EP-220, an alternate location for the TSC staff has been identified and communicated to the TSC staff if the Emergency Director determines that the TSC is uninhabitable during an event."
The licensee notified the State of New York Public Service Commission. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. |

"Event: During startup of Unit 1 on June 10, 2011, after increasing power to approximately 50 percent, it was noticed that power range nuclear instrumentation was not responding adequately to power imbalance differences. At 0802 EDT, all four channels of Reactor Protective System instrumentation were declared inoperable. TS 3.3.1., Reactor Protective System (RPS) instrumentation, Condition A, B, and C were entered. RPS Channel D was placed in trip per Condition A. Trouble shooting efforts were immediately initiated.
"Initial Safety Significance: This issue constitutes a loss of safety function because the nuclear overpower flux/flow imbalance trip function of RPS was not operable.
"Corrective Action(s): Trouble-shooting commenced. A wiring error was identified that affected all four RPS channels. At this time, all four channels have been restored to operability. All conditions of TS 3.3.1, Conditions A, B, and C have been exited as of 1438 EDT hours when all four channels of RPS were restored."
The licensee stated that the wiring error is associated with a modification package that was completed during the recent refueling outage.
The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. | |
