| "On September 11, 2000, Fuller, Mossbarger, Scot and May Engineers, Inc.,    |
| reported a stolen moisture/density gauge.  The gauge was a Troxler 3440,     |
| serial number 24606, containing an 8 millicurie cesium-137 and a 40          |
| millicurie americium-241 source.                                             |
|                                                                              |
| "The gauge was stolen sometime between 12:00 am. and 6:00 a.m. on September  |
| 11 from an employee's residence located in Lexington, KY.  The police have   |
| been notified.  The employee had stored the gauge, in its transport          |
| container, in his garage.  He put the gauge, in its transport container in   |
| the bed of his truck at about midnight in order to be ready to leave for the |
| job Site the next morning.  One of the owners of the company stated that the |
| container was locked to the bed of the truck with a chain and padlock.  The  |
| thief used a hacksaw to cut the chain and remove the transport container     |
| with the gauge inside.                                                       |

| "The owner stated he believed the source rod to also be locked and that the  |
| employee would have still have the keys to this lock."                       |
|                                                                              |

| HOURS                                                                        |

| "While placing RHR Train'B' in shutdown cooling during a refueling outage    |
| the pump minimum flow valve did not close as expected.   Investigation       |
| revealed that the mini-flow transmitter 1 FIS-0611 was isolated causing the  |
| valve 1 FV0611 to remain open with RHR flow in excess of setpoint that would |
| cause the valve to close.   Work was performed on August 29, 2000, to        |
| calibrate this transmitter.   On September 9, 2000,  RHR Train 'A' seal      |
| cooler was isolated for maintenance rendering both trains of RHR inoperable  |
| for 6 hours and 54 minutes.  The Cold leg injection capability from RHR      |
| Train 'A' remained available during this time. The Cold leg recirculation    |
| capability during these inoperabilities was not available.  This would have  |
| required entry into T. S. 3.0.3.                                             |

| "During review of the plant Cable and Conduit List (CCL) database, it was    |
| observed that six essential cables were not listed as requiring fire wrap    |
| and the cables are not wrapped in the field. The cable, with one exception,  |
| is listed in the safe shutdown analysis as required for hot and cold safe    |
| shutdown, but are not provided with Appendix R separation per 10CFR50        |
| Appendix R Section IIIG. The cables are located in Room 299 on the +46 ft    |
| elevation of the Reactor Auxiliary Bldg (RAB) in Fire Area RAB 2. The        |
| condition has existed since plant original construction. At the time of      |
| discovery, the plant is operating at 100% Reactor Power. The cables were     |
| immediately listed as impaired, and compensatory actions were established    |
| (hourly fire watches). The condition has been entered into the plant         |
| corrective action program (CR-WF3-2000-1088). The equipment would be         |
| affected by a hypothetical fire in that fire area include the A/B Essential  |
| Chillers, RAB HVAG Exhaust Fan A, RAB HVAC Equipment Room Supply Fan AH-13   |
| (3A-SA) Dampers. These components should be the protected components in the  |

| controls that may not always activate a reactor scram/recirculation pump     |
| down shift as required by analysis. Theoretically, with the partial load     |
| reject that fails to actuate the Reactor Scram/Recirculation pump trip and   |
| assuming failure of the bypass valves, MCPR limits could be affected.        |

| "On  September 17, 2000, at about 0620 PDT, 2-ME-201 (non-safety containment |
| normal chiller) tripped on low oil  pressure. Operators began to start the   |
| containment normal chiller 2-ME-202, but stopped when prestart checks        |
| indicated low freon level. Because containment temperatures were slowly      |
| increasing, plant operators placed the emergency containment cooler units in |
| service and started an additional containment dome air circulator. To        |
| perform their ESF function, the containment emergency coolers automatically  |
| actuate on safety injection actuation signal and on containment pressure,    |
| but not on containment temperature. SCE considered that the emergency        |
| coolers were not performing an ESF function during this occurrence, and a    |
| report to the NRC was not required.                                          |

| "On September 18, 2000, at 1000 PDT, SCE determined that actuation of the    |
| emergency cooler units could be considered to meet the clarification         |
| provided in section 3.3.2 of NUREG-1022, Rev. 1. Therefore, SCE is           |
| conservatively and voluntarily providing this report to the NRC. After       |
| determining that 2-ME-202 was functional with an indicated low freon level,  |
| plant operators started 2-ME-202 at about 0818 PDT, terminating this         |
| occurrence. The emergency coolers and dome air circulators operated as       |
| designed. At the time of this occurrence, both units 2 and 3 were operating  |
| at about 100% power. Unit 1 remains permanently defueled."                   |

| ECCS PERFORMANCE POTENTIALLY IMPAIRED DUE TO VALVE CLOSURE DURING TESTING    |

| "During review of emergency core cooling system (ECCS) valve operability     |
| test procedures, it was determined that, on one occasion in 1995 and again   |
| in 1997, one safety injection (SI) system containment isolation valve (CIV)  |
| was closed for valve operability testing with reactor power at or near 100%. |
| With a CIV closed, injection from the two SI pumps following a small break   |
| loss of coolant accident (SBLOCA) would be directed to only two of the four  |
| reactor coolant system loops. At this power level, the high head SI system   |
| function of maintaining peak clad temperature (PCT) below 2200�F following a |
| SBLOCA may not be satisfied. The condition becomes worse if a single failure |
| is considered to affect one of the two SI pumps. Further evaluation of the   |
| condition is in progress."                                                   |

| "At 1425 PDT the plant experienced a sudden increase in offgas flow and      |
| decreasing condenser vacuum. Reactor power was reduced from 100% to 65% in   |

| vacuum. When the condenser back pressure continued to rise, a manual scram   |
| was inserted. All safety systems functioned as designed. The plant is        |
