| OFFSITE NOTIFICATION AT IP2 OF ONSITE FATALITY |
| |
| The licensee reported an onsite fatality occurred that prompted the need to |
| notify the New York State Public Service Commission and the local Fire |
| Department which responded to the site. Specifically, a contract worker was |
| electrocuted while trimming trees onsite, behind the emergency diesel |
| generator building, adjacent to a 138 KV feeder. |
| |
| The event resulted in the protective relaying tripping the feeder and a loss |
| of offsite power (LOOP) resulted. The plant remained online at 100% power. |
| The emergency diesel generators were started and powered two of the |
| safeguard buses. |

| APPENDIX "R" BREAKER COORDINATION AND SEPARATION ISSUES AT CALLAWAY
|
| |
| "On July 2,2002, with Callaway Plant in Mode 1 at 100% power, an Operability |
| Determination was completed that revealed the potential for Safety Related |
| components and electrical load centers to experience a common cause failure |
| if a fire were to occur in a specific location. If the postulated fire were |
| to occur in 1974' Auxiliary Building Fire Area A-1, safety related load |
| centers NG01A and NG02A (opposite trains) could experience a fire induced |
| ground fault condition due to cable damage on downstream loads. This ground |
| fault condition could cause the loss of either or both NG01A and NG02A. |
| NG01A and NG02A supply post fire safe shutdown equipment such as the "A" and |
| "B" Residual Heat Removal (RHR) pump room coolers. Discussions with Wolf |
| Creek on July 19, 2002 in conjunction with the ongoing evaluation concluded |
| this scenario could impact post fire safe shutdown equipment. |
| |
| "In addition, it has been identified that cables in Fire Area A-1 for the |
| "A" and "B" RHR pump room coolers, which are post fire safe shutdown |
| equipment, have less than 20 feet of horizontal separation and do not meet |
| the separation requirements of Appendix R lII.G.2, as committed to. |
| |
| "Based on the guidance provided in NUREG 1022, Revision 2, this situation |
| meets the criterion of 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii) for an 8-hour notification. |
| |
| "The following compensatory actions have been taken: |
| - An hourly fire watch was established for the affected area on 7/2/02 as |
| the evaluations were completed. |
| - Circuit Breakers associated with Essential Service Water Sump Heaters have |
| been isolated, pending completion of a design change to address electrical |
| coordination consistent with the FSAR. |
| - An Operations Night Order detailing actions to be taken to restore NG01A |
| and or NG02A if a fire were to occur that affected these load centers. |
| Actions include measures to isolate faulted circuits. |
| - Permanent revisions to Fire Area Pre-plans are under evaluation to |
| incorporate the guidance of the Operations Night Order. |
| |
| "The licensee is continuing its review to determine the extent of Cable |
| Separation/Breaker Coordination issues that may lead to similar |
| consequences." |
| |
| The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. |

| APPENDIX R CABLE SEPARATION AND BREAKER COORDINATION ISSUES AT WOLF
CREEK |
| |
| "On July 19, 2002 at approximately 0945 CDT, based on discussions with |
| Callaway, conditions were discovered where a postulated fire could lead to |
| the loss of motor control centers that power post fire safe shutdown |
| equipment in both trains. Wolf Creek is in Mode 1, at 100% power. |
| |
| "A postulated fire in the Auxiliary Building 1974' Fire Area A-1 could cause |
| loss of motor control centers NG01A ("A" train) and NG02A ("B" train). NG01A |
| and NG02A supply post fire safe shutdown equipment such as "A" and "B" train |
| pump room coolers and miscellaneous valves. |
| |
| "10 CFR 50 Appendix R requires that one train of systems necessary to |
| achieve and maintain post fire safe shutdown will be available. Conditions |
| have been identified where there is mis-coordination of the ground fault |
| protection on feeder breakers. This could cause the entire MCC to be lost in |
| the case of a ground fault. Feeder breakers on both MCCs have been |
| identified as having ground fault protection mis-coordination. The cables |
| for the associated loads have less than 20 feet of horizontal separation |
| causing the above identified MCCs to be potentially lost due to a fire in |
| Fire Area A-1. This does not meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix |
| R.lll.G. |
| |
| "In addition, it has been identified that post fire safe shutdown cables in |
| Fire Area A-I for the "A" and "B" RHR pump room coolers have less than 20 |
| feet of horizontal separation and do not meet the separation requirements of |
| 10 CFR 50 |
| Appendix R.lll.G. |
| |
| "Based on the guidance provided in NUREG 1022 Revision 2, this situation |
| meets the criterion of I0 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) for an 8-hour ENS |
| notification, as it relates to being in an unanalyzed condition. |
| |
| "The licensee has implemented a 1-hour fire watch and is developing |

| |
| "The licensee is continuing its review to determine if there are any other |
| cable separation/breaker mis-coordination issues that may lead to similar |
| consequences." |

| REACTOR AUTOMATICALLY TRIPPED FROM 100% POWER ON REACTOR
TRIP/TURBINE TRIP |

| The reactor trip/turbine trip from 100% power was caused by a loss of main |
| turbine condenser vacuum that occurred while flushing the condenser |
| waterboxes. The cause is unknown and being investigated at this time. All |
| control rods fully inserted, no ECCS actuated and all emergency and |

| were manually closed to arrest RCS cooldown. RCS temperature was |
| stabilized using the atmospheric relief valves. |
