There was a Part 21 notification regarding Cutler-Hammer relays. Only Davis-Besse uses the relays, and they don't use them in manual reset mode, where the problem occurs. Licensee will label the relays to ensure they are not hooked up in that mode.
Plant News:
Braidwood: Both units at full Power. Unit 1 is at elevated risk for work on level control relay -
one suction valve is out of service. Unit 2 is quiet. Licensee is still investigating the event the day before yesterday where the spent fuel cooling water pumps between Units I and 2 changed the water levels.
Byron: Both units at full power and quiet. The end of cycle meeting was held last night and went well.
Clinton: Quiet, and power increasing slowly. TOCs in the waste treatment process have been preliminarily identified as not antifreeze. Licensee will perform a more detailed analysis to determine what they are. Still investigating the RHR valve with lifted leads. The cause is still unknown.
Davis-Besse: Full power and yellow risk for planned maintenance on the aux feed for train #1.
The DK heat pump #2 has had seal leakage the last week or two. Licensee started the pump yesterday, and the leakage has stopped. The exit for the inspection this week will be held this afternoon at 3:00 pm.
DC Cook: Full power. Maintenance today on the undervoltage card for the automatic main generator voltage adjustment circuit on Unit 1. Unit 2 is quiet.
Dresden: Both units at full power and quiet. Unit 3 is at slightly elevated risk for work on the reactor building-torus vacuum breakers.
Duane Arnold: Currently at around 4.8%. Went critical at 2:23 this morning, and is expected to be online late today or tomorow.
Fermi: Full power and quiet.
Kewaunee: Full power, and at slightly elevated risk (still green).
LaSalle: Both units are at full power and quiet.
Monticello: Full power and quiet.
Palisades: Full power and quiet.
Perry: Full power and quiet.

Paul Krohn - 815 News Apr22 04.wpd Page 2 Point Beach: Unit I is on day 19 of the outage. While performing a head lift last night, noted that a protective cover stayed on the head. Licensee is taking action to correct. Unit 2 is at full power and at slightly elevated risk.
Prairie Island: Full power. Unit 1 is at slightly elevated risk (green). Unit 2 is at yellow risk.
Finished steam generator off load.
Quad Cities: Both units are at 85%. Unit 1 is at increased risk for HPCI outage.
Materials License News: The Department of Veterans Affairs National Health Physics Program reported that VA Chicago, a permittee of the Master Materials License, received a package that exceeded the limits for surface removable contamination. They decontaminated the package and notified the pharmacy that had sent the package. We will follow up with the state of Illinois.
Support News: Today is the two-week lookahead for meetings.
Other: Monica Salter-Williams, a resident inspector at Davis-Besse, had a 7-pound, 12-ounce baby boy on April 19.
