TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION REQUIRED SHUTDOWN DUE TO EQUIPMENT PROBLEM On June 15,1998, WNP-2 initiated a plant shutdown as a result of a traversing incore probe that could not be moved. The licensee was unable to close the primary containment isolation valve as a result of the stuck probe and chose to initiate the shutdown rather than isolate the containment penetration using the associated shear penetration valve. Prior to the plant shutdown, the facility had been operating at 38 percent power and was performing power ascension testing following a refueling outage.
As of 8 a.m. (PDT) on June 16, the licensee had observed that the lower coupling between the traversing incore probe ruide tube and the local power range monitoring system dry
- nsee indicated that the guide tubes had been removed and tube was disconnected. P -
reinstalled during the refi % stage. The licensee also observed that the traversing incore probe and approximately . ." .eet of drive cable were outside of the guide tube, with the probe located several feet below the lower reactor pedestal work platform. Contact radiation levels of the probe were measured at approximately 10 R/ hour, and contact radiation levels of the drive cable were measured at approximately 2 R/ hour. The licensee observed some drive cable damage, and the cable was wrapped around some components under the reactor vessel.
On June 16, Region IV and NRR held a conference call with the licensee to discuss their recovery plan and repair efforts. The licensee intends to enter containment and cut the drive cable in sections. The drive cable and the probe will be placed in a container and removed from containment. The licensee will replace the probe and drive cable and inspect the other connections of the traversing incore probe system. Currently, the licensee has scheduled a reactor startup on June 17.
The licensee has issued a press release. The state of Washington has been informed.
Region IV received notification of this occuvence from the Headquarters Operations Officer at approximately 3 a.m. (PDT) on June 15,1998. Region IV has informed the OEDO, PAO, and NRR. Region IV sent a reactor inspector to the site to augment the resident inspector staff during the recovery efforts and subsequent reactor startup.
This information has been discussed with the licensee and is current as of 1 p.m. (PST),
June 16,1998.
