| VOLUNTARY INFORMATION REPORT ON PLANNED SPDS OUTAGE AT SALEM
|
| |
| "The safety parameter display system (SPDS) is being removed from service to |
| perform planned upgrades to the system. The removal of SPDS from service for |
| Salem Units 1 & 2 also affects the transmission of data from the emergency |
| response data system (ERDS). Appropriate compensatory measures are in place |
| while the SPDS system is out of service. SPDS is expected to return to |
| service by end of August. This is considered a condition warranting |
| voluntary/courtesy NRC notification" |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector has been notified. |

| STOLEN TROXLER MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE |
| |
| On 9:00 a.m. CDT on 6/22/02, the licensee discovered that their storage shed |
| had been broken into and a Troxler moisture density gauge was stolen. The |
| model number is 3440, which contains 8 millicuries of CS-137 and 40 |
| millicuries of Am-Be 241, and serial numbers 18746 and 18745. The licensee |
| contacted the local police, Fairfax City Police and Osage County Sheriffs |
| office. The storage shed is located 2 miles east of Highway 20 and Highway |
| 18 in Osage County, Oklahoma. |

| AUTOMATIC SCRAM AT HOPE CREEK DUE TO TURBINE TRIP |
| |
| "Immediately following the RPS actuation, the success of the SCRAM was |
| evaluated. Initially, the Rod Worth Minimizer indicated that some control |
| rods were not fully inserted and control rod 22-31 indicated full out on the |
| Full Core Display. Alternate Rod Insertion (ARI) was initiated as per |
| established operating procedures. The STA observed all Control Rods except |
| 22-31 to be fully inserted on the Core Monitoring System before ARI was |
| initiated, indicating the reactor was shutdown without ARI. The indicated |
| position of CR 22-31 did not change immediately following the SCRAM, but |
| changed over time consistent with a known problem with its |
| position-indicating probe. |
| |
| "Both Reactor Recirculation Pumps tripped as expected from the turbine trip |
| above 30% power (End-of-Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip function), and remain |
| out of service. The Reactor is presently shutdown. Reactor pressure is 700 |
| psig and slowly lowering and reactor level is 32 and stable (normal band |
| 30-39). Efforts are underway to stabilize and normalize reactor coolant and |
| metal temperatures to allow the restarting of a Reactor Recirculation |
| Pump." |

| AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM FOLLOWING SERVICE TRANSFORMER LOCKOUT FOR
REASONS |
| UNKNOWN |
| |
| "At 2217 CDT on 6/22/02, GGNS scrammed from 100% CTP. The scram was the |
| results of a lockout trip on service transformer 21 (ST21). Exact cause of |
| [the] scram has not been determined yet.. [The] Plant is stable and all |
| parameters are being controlled. [The] scram is suspected to be due to loss |
| of feedwater (i.e., Rx Low Level) when ST21 tripped. Div 2 and 3 buses did |
| deenergize and [their] respective Diesel Generators started and carried |
| [the] buses." |
| |
| All control rods fully inserted. RWCU is currently in-service removing |
| decay heat. ST21 remains out-of-service. Electrical loads have been |
| shifted to ST11 (500KV feed) and the ESF transformer (115KV feed). The unit |
| is not in any TS A/S for offsite power since 2 of the 3 sources are |
| available. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
| |
| * * * UPDATE 0404 EDT ON 6/23/02 FROM ROBERT BRINKMAN TO S. SANDIN * * * |
| |
| "This is an update to Event Notification #39012. This call in is to report |
| the 8 hr non-emergency call in under 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A). As reported |
| earlier, Division 2 and 3 electrical buses deenergized when service |
| transformer 21 tripped. Division 2 and 3 Diesel Generators started and |
| energized these buses. The actuation of Division 2 and 3 Diesel Generators |
| is the 'Specified System Actuation' reported by this notification. Also, |
| Div. 2 Control Room A/C failed to automatically restart following Div. 2 bus |
| being re-energized. [The] breaker was closed manually and Control Room A/C |
| (Div. 2) restarted." |
| |
| The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified |
| R4DO(Marschall). |
| |
| * * * UPDATE 0555 EDT ON 6/23/02 FROM ROBERT BRINKMAN TO S. SANDIN * * * |
| |
| "This notification is to report an 8 hr non-emergency call in under |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii). At 0425 CDT, on 6/23/02, the GGNS Control Room was |
| notified that the EOF had no electrical power. The site power loop was |
| deenergized when service transformer 21 tripped, which caused the EOF to |
| become de-energized (see EN #39012). The EOF backup generator did not start |
| as required, therefore the EOF (Emergency Operations Facility) did not have |
| any electrical power. Normal electrical power was restored to [the] EOF at |
| 0415 hrs CDT on 6/23/02. [The] backup EOF was available at all times." |
| |
| The licensee informed the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R4DO(Marschall). |
