| "NRC event # 37683. The high pressure Fire Water Protection System is        |
| degraded due to planned maintenance work. The inner and outer high-pressure  |
| fire headers are split to provide protection for work on the valves for 12   |
| Fire Main Booster Pump. 12 Fire main booster pump is inoperable during this  |
| tag-out. The diesel fire pump is in service as the alternate fire protection |
| for the outside fire header. 11 and 12 fire maintenance pumps are supplying  |
| the inside header with 11 Fire Main Booster Pump available as a back up.     |
| SAO-703 states one fire main booster pump out of service is a 7-day action   |
| statement to return it to operable status. The headers being separated or    |
| any part of the fire protection piping or valves not being able to perform   |
| its function other than the specific instances described in SAO-703 requires |
| an alternate fire protection system shall be established. This was           |
| established within 24 hours to ensure compliance with SAO-703 as described   |
| above. A special report shall be submitted to the NRC Regional Administrator |
| of the Region 1 Office outlining this event within 14 Days."                 |
