J ATTACHMENT Summary of Event:
On Wednesday, January 28,-1987, the Reactor Supervisor was informed by the Senior Resident NRC Inspector that all of the area lights in the Unit 4 spent fuel pool (SFP) had been burnt out and that they were all replaced on Tuesday, January 27. It has not been precisely determined when the SFP lighting fell below the minimum required lighting level for IAEA surveillance comeros.
The most recent IAEA inspection at Turkey Point occurred on Thursday, January 8. At this inspection, the SFP was covered with white plastic due to the cask door seal replacement. This covering was still in place when the lighting was restored.
Results:
1)
FPL con state with 100% confidence that no fuel movement occurred in the Unit 4 SFP from the last IAEA inspection on January 8 through January 27, 1987.
2)
Corrective action will be taken that will require the SFP area lights to be verified to be on at least once per day. If more than two lights should be out, the corrective action will be taken.
3)
A change was initiated in early December to replace the existing 100 watt bulbs with 200 watt, long life bulbs. This change was opproved on 1
January 29, and should improve the lighting and alleviate the burn-out problem.

Conclusion:==
The corrective actions discussed above are expected to prevent a recurrence of the situation. No unmonitored fuel movement has occurred in the Unit 4 SFP.
This con be verified by the IAEA when they observe the Special Nuclear Material Inventory in the Unit 4 SFP in early March.
