At JT00 on January 10, 1986, the body of a diver who had been working at the intoke structure vas recovered. This diver had entered Une water to locate another diver who had previously entemd the water ord vos oventtet to rettam to the surface.
An Unusual Event was declared at 1810, after disabling raw water pumps which supply the decay heat removat heat sink.
The body of the diver who was ortgtnctly missing was recovered at approximately 1900.
The Unusual Event was exited 2000 on January 10, 1986 after normal decay heat removal heat sink was estab!f6hed.

1/22/86 - MEDIA STATEMENT RE: 3ANUARY 10,1986 DIVING ACCIDENT The following statement was released to the news medla today by the corporate communications department.
The tragic events of Friday, January 10th,1986, not only devastated two familles, but also sadly Impacted many friends, relatives, Florida Power employees, and the management of this company. The diving accident, which claimed the lives of two well-respected men, should not have happened.
Florida Power has said repeatedly we would give a report on the incident after our investigation was completed.
Our Investigation is now over. The main question has been whether the divers were warned about the pumps being on. We have found no evidence that the divers were specifically warned that the pumps were on at the time they were diving, nor la there any Indication that they were diving in an area they were not authorized to be In.
This entire incident has involved serious communications problems and we still are.
uncertain of precise communications that occurred among those planning the diving',
i those actually diving, and those controlling tne pumps. We went to emphacize t,h,at we did not say, nor did we Intend to imply to the Florida Public Service Commisslodi.that we warned diveis or that they Imew that the pumps were Iri operation.
We regret any communication which may have resulted from the recent newspeper story and subsequent stories, which said we had warned the divers that the p' umps were running. During our Investigation, non-Florida Power people made comments to reporters which have resulted in this confusion.
There now appears to be a substantial chance of litigation and because of that,it would be inappropriate for us to respond to further questions regarding this tragedy.

SUBJECT:
REPORT NO. 50-302/85-44 On November 26, 1985 - January 17, 1986, NRC inspected activities authorized by NRC. Operating License No. OPR-72 for your Crystal River facility.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed inspection report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress.
f The inspection fincings indicate that certain activities violated NRC require-V ments and that other activities appeared to deviate from a commitment to the NRC.
The violations and the deviation, with pertinent references and elements to be included in your response, are presented in the enclosed Notices.
Due to the apparent repetitive nature of Violation 2 with that identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-302/85-41, we requested, in correspondence dated January 24, 1986, that you submit a supplemental response to that report.
Therefore, no further response i
to this violation is required.
l Your attention is invited to the unresolved item identified in the inspection report.
This matter will be pursued during future inspections.
The responses directed by this letter and the enclosures are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Cffice of Management and Budget issued under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, FL 96-511.
'Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

SUMMARY
Scope:
This routine inspection involved 266 inspector-hours on site by two resident inspectors in the areas of plant operations, security, radiological controls, Licensee Event Reports and Nonconforming Operations Reports, and E
licensee action on previous inspection items.
Numerous f acility tours were conducted and facility operations ocserved. Some of these tours and observations were conducted on backshifts.
Results:
Two violations and one deviation were identified:
Failure to make a report to the NRC Operations Center as reauired by 10 CFR 50.72, one hour paragraph 6.b; Failure to adhere to the requirements of a Radiation Work Permit, paragraph 5.b(5); Deviation from a commitment to an NRC violation, paragraph 5.a.

12 On January 10, 1986, the licensee contracted divers to clean and remove c.
trash from the plant's intake structure, which provides cooling water to the plant from the Gulf of Mexico.
During this period, the plant was in a cold shutdown (Mode 5) condition with reactor cooling being by the decay heat removal (DHR) system.
The DHR system provided utilizes pumps (RWPs) that take water from the Gulf via the ' intake l
structure to provide a cooling heat sink.
At about 4:30 p.m., it was reported that one of the divers was missing.
l Shortly thereaf ter, it was reported that a second diver, who had gone into the water to look for the first diver, had died. During this time period, the running RWPs were secured thus leaving the plant without f
cooling water.
While attempts were underway to locate the missing diver, the plant operators cross-connected cooling systems to provide some plant l
cooling.
At the beginning of this event, the reactor coolant temperature was approximately 95 degrees. With the main cooling water systems secured and other ancillary systems cross-connected, the reactor coolant system (RCS) began to heat up at a rate of approxi-I mately 30 to 35 degrees per hour.
Because of this lack of cooling l
water, the licensee declared an Unusual Event at 6:40 p.m.
l At approximately 7:32 p.m.,
the second diver was located in the vicinity of the RWPs and retrieved. Upon notification of the retrieval of the second diver, plant operators immediately restarted the RWPs and normal plant cooldown was begun.
The highest RCS temperature aattained during the time the cooling water was secured was approxi-mately 175 degrees.
The plant secured the Unusual Event at approximately 8:00 p.m.
The inspector arrived onsite shortly after the first diver was found l
E dead and monitored the licensee's activities with respect to the diver search and plant status.
The licensee and personnel from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are continuing to investigate this event.
This event involves a problem with industrial safety which is under the I
purview of OSHA.
The NRC will review the OSHA findings to determine whether further actions are required.
This event will be tracked as IFI 302/85-44-08:
Review the OSHA findings concerning the death of two divers while diving in the intake structure.

Review of offsite Review Committee Activities The inspector attended meetings and reviewed activities of the licensee's offsite review committee, the Nuclear General Review Committee (NGRC). This review included a determination that TS requirements were being met with regard to:
~
committee quorum; committee composition with respect to disciplines and expertise; Qualification of committee members; and review activities of the committee.
No violations or deviations were identified.
