TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY REMOVED FROM SERVICE FOR PLANNED MAINTENANCE

"A planned maintenance evolution at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) has removed the emergency power supply to the TSC from service as of 0900 EDT. If a loss of the normal power supply to the TSC were to occur during this period, the TSC would be rendered non-functional. The repair to the power supply is expected to last 6 hours. If an emergency is declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC will be staffed and activated using existing emergency planning procedures. Maintenance will be expedited to restore the emergency power supply to service. This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to the loss of an Emergency Response Facility (ERF). An update will be provided once the TSC emergency power supply has been restored to normal operation."

The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

SERVICE WATER RADIATION MONITOR REMOVED FROM SERVICE FOR MAINTENANCE

"At 0311 EDT on June 3, 2013 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 removed the Service Water Radiation Monitor from service for planned maintenance. Due to expanded scope of the work, the Service Water Radiation Monitor will not be returned to service within 72 hours. The Chemistry department has been performing periodic grab samples per the requirements of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) as a compensatory measure with the Service Water Radiation Monitor out of service.

"The Service Water Radiation Monitor is necessary for accident assessment and is credited for Emergency Action Level (EAL) classification. The inability to classify an EAL due to an out of service monitor is considered a loss of assessment capability per CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xiii). Compensatory actions remain in place to sample per the requirements of the ODCM.

"This event is being reported as a loss of emergency assessment capability in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). A follow up notification will be made when the equipment has been returned to service.

"The NRC Resident inspector has been notified."

* * * UPDATE ON 6/6/2013 AT 1545 EDT FROM DANIEL COLEMAN TO DANIEL MILLS * * *

"The Service Water Radiation Monitor maintenance is complete and the Radiation Monitor has been returned to service. Emergency Assessment Capability has been restored."

The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
