| AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP DUE TO LOW STEAM GENERATOR WATER LEVEL                |
|                                                                              |
| A malfunction occurred on the "A" main feed pump that resulted in a low      |
| water level in the no. 1 steam generator causing an automatic reactor trip   |
| from 55% reactor power.  Operators manually started auxiliary feed water to  |
| control water level during post trip conditions.  The steam generator water  |
| level did not decrease low enough to prompt an automatic start of the        |
| auxiliary feed water system. All control rods properly inserted into the     |
| core.  The cause of the loss of the "A" main feed pump is being reviewed as  |
| part of the post trip review.                                                |
|                                                                              |

| SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE INVOLVING A RADIOGRAPHY CAMERA SHUTTER              |
|                                                                              |
| On 8/7/02 during a training exercise the shutter on a Picker Cyclops Camera  |
| Unit failed to close.  The licensee manually cranked the shutter to the      |
| closed position and locked/tagged the device to prevent operation.  The      |
| licensed maintenance technician was notified to initiate repairs.  The       |
| Camera is used by the Crane Army Munitions Activity for certification        |
| training of radiographers.  The Cyclops Camera is a model 590 manufactured   |
| by Picker Corp.  The source is 1645 Curies of Cobalt-60, S/N T1520,          |
| manufactured by Neutron Products.  There was no personnel exposure           |
| associated with this incident.                                               |
