UNAVAILABILITY OF TSC VENTILATION SYSTEM DUE TO SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
"At 0400 EDT on Monday, July 11, 2011, the Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Technical Support Center (TSC) air conditioning and charcoal filtration systems will be removed from service for scheduled maintenance.
"Under certain accident conditions the TSC may become unavailable due to the inability of the air conditioning and charcoal filtration systems to maintain a habitable atmosphere. Compensatory measures exist to relocate TSC personnel to the unaffected unit's control room if necessary.
"TSC ventilation system maintenance is scheduled to be completed by 2000 EDT on Monday, July 11, 2011.
"The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
"This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(xiii) due to the loss of an emergency response facility."
* * * UPDATE FROM DAN KURTH TO JOE O'HARA AT 2151 ON 7/11/11 * * *
"TSC ventilation system maintenance was completed satisfactorily and the system restored to service at 1800 EDT on 7/11/11. The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified."

TEMPORARY LOSS OF ERDS AND SPDS DUE TO PLANNED MAINTENANCE
"The Emergency Plant Information Computer (EPIC) has been shutdown for planned maintenance. The maintenance is expected to last less than six (6) hours. The shutdown of EPIC has caused a loss of the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS) and Emergency Response Data System (ERDS). This is determined to be a partial, but significant Loss of Emergency Assessment Capability, and is an 8-hr. Non-Emergency 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) required notification.
"There are no plant transients or power maneuvers in progress or planned.
"Actions taken include: performance of the site specific Computer Out-of-service Surveillance (ST-40C) which provides for enhanced Control Room parameter monitoring, additional operating rounds in-plant on a recurring basis, and restriction of scheduled activities that could cause a plant transient. Members of the JAF [James A Fitzpatrick] Emergency Response Organization (ERO) have been briefed on contingencies required during an E-Plan [Emergency Plan] activation. A contingency plan for around the clock maintenance coverage to recover the EPIC if it is not restored as scheduled does exists."
The licensee has notified the State, the County, and the NRC Resident Inspector.
