The licensee is investigating a loss of greater than 75% of their
annunciator indications. The
annunciators lost include alarms for
ECCS divisions 1 & 2, Reactor Control Panels, and electrical panels. "All normal methods of monitoring plant systems are available." Compensatory measures are being initiated. The plant is stable at 100% power and all maintenance has been stopped.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
Troubleshooting revealed the "C" MUX to be the cause of the problem. "C" MUX was removed from service and the redundant unit is now supplying input. Based on satisfactory testing the Shift Manager terminated the Unusual Event.
