Subject: SPENT FUEL POOL HEATUP DUE TO OPERATOR VALVING ERROR

Discussion:

On January 13, 2000, a control room operator noted that the spent fuel
pool temperature had increased from about 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 141
degrees Fahrenheit. Subsequently, operators determined that the reactor
building closed cooling water system had not been aligned to the spent
fuel pool heat exchanger following maintenance activities on January 11.
Operators established fuel pool cooling and spent fuel pool temperature
decreased and returned to normal.

At the time of the occurrence, although not properly aligned, both spent
fuel pool cooling trains and all three trains of reactor building closed
cooling water were available. In addition, the level in the spent fuel
pool was above the Technical Specification low level limit which ensured
that a large volume of water was available to make up for any evaporative
heat losses. Therefore, the safety significance of the occurrence was
minimal.

The resident inspectors are monitoring the licensee's corrective actions.
