I *(SDC] was restored at 0312. During the event, Unit 2 was in Mode 5 --

Refueling -- with the vessel cavity flooded up to greater than 20' 6' above l the vessel flange with the fuel pool gates removed. No temperature rise in l the vessel was noted during the time SDC was out of service. No core I alterations were in progress at the time.'

'*Prior to the closure of the E1150-FOO8 valve, [the] Division 2 core spray I system was being tagged out of service for [refueling] outage maintenance. I l Part of the tag-out was to remove fuses for the core spray AC/DC inverter.

I Upon removing power to the inverter, a reactor high pressure signal caused a trip system B, group 4 -- Shutdown Cooling/Head Spray Isolation, which l closes the E1150-F008 valve. After the isolation, the core spray AC/DC l inverter was returned to service, the E1150-FOO valve opened, and RHR 'B' l pump was placed back into [the] SDC mode.'

' This event is being reported under IOCFR50.72(b)(2)(ii), any event or condition that results in the manual or automatic actuation of any engineered safety feature.,

package revealed surface contamination of 13,600 DPM/cm . This was discovered at 0230 on 04/16/00. The licensee reported that the package contained technetium-99m and that the licensee normally receives 50 mCi in each package. At the time of this event notification, the package had not been opened, and there was no report of a breach. The licensee quarantined the package in a storage area and notified Syncore at 0245 on 04/16/00.

The licensee reported that the contamination is more likely to be around 2

2,400 DPM/cm because the efficiency of the well counter is based on cesium and the isotope involved was identified to be technetium-99m.

l SOURCE DISCONNECT ON CAMERA OWNED BY INTERNATIONAL RADIOGRAPHY & INSPECTION l I SERVICES INC.

A radiography camera being used for an inspection by International l Radiography & Inspection Services Inc. at the Matrix Fabrication Division l site in Catoosa, Ok. had a source disconnect while being cranked out. The l source, which contained 72 curies of Iridium-192, was manufactured by AEA l Technologies and mounted in a SPEC camera. During the time of the source l disconnect, the area around the camera was secured. The licensee RSO went l to the site, did a source recovery and returned the camera to their l l facility. There were no exposures >40 mrem. The licensee has packaged the l l equipment and will FedEx it to AEA Technologies for their analysis of the l l problem.

' At approximately 12:00 on 4/16/00, a loggerhead sea turtle was recovered I l from the plant's intake canal. The turtle was alive, but in need of l rehabilitation, and was subsequently sent to a facility at Sea World. As l required by the plant's sea turtle permit, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) was notified of the event.

' At 13:04 on 4/17/00, BVFS Unit I experienced a loss of the turbine auxiliary steam header pressure. The loss of auxiliary steam pressure resulted in a decrease in condenser vacuum, rapidly approaching the low-low l vacuum turbine trip setpoint. At 1309, the reactor was tripped manually. l http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rmldoc-collections/event-status/eventI2000/20000418en.html 06/23/2004

l Steam Generator 1C feed valve FCV-IFW-498 was isolated during recovery due l l to minor leakby. Auxiliary Feedwater and all other equipment responded as l expected. The initial problem was caused by a failure of the auxiliary steam l l supply pressure control valve air diaphragm packing. This valve is air to l l open and spring operated to close. Air pressure was lost through the failed l I packing causing the valve to fail in the closed position. Auxiliary steam was restored during plant stabilization. The plant is in Hot Standby and all l systems are functioning properly. Heat removal is via the normal condenser l I steam dump system.,

l The NRC resident inspector has been informed of this event by the licensee.

  • The cabling for Unit 2 source range monitor 2N-32 was found to be impacted l l by a postulated fire in either the CCW pump room or the Unit 2 MCC room in l l the 8' PAB. Per 10 CFR 50 Appendix R at least one nuclear instrument (2N-31, l I 2N-32 or 2N-40) must be available to monitor source range flux while l l shutting down the unit. [Monitor] 2N-32 is relied upon for a fire in [fire l l zone] FZ 142 and 166 due to cable losses on the 2N-31 and 2N-40 l l instruments. Loss of 2N-32 will cause a total loss of SR monitoring l capability which places the plant outside the Appendix R design basis.,

TThe NRC resident inspector will be informed of this notification by the l l licensee.
