At 0100 on September 8, 2004, while in ModAt 0100 on September 8, 2004, while in Mode 3 conducting a Reactor Building walkdown after an unplanned reactor trip during Tropical Storm Frances, Crystal River Unit 3 identified a potential Reactor Coolant System pressure boundary leak located on a weld associated with a pressurizer level sensing line (upstream of reactor coolant isolation valve RCV-75). The cause of the leak is not known at this time, and the leak did not have a significant effect on plant operation. The last unidentified leak rates that were completed prior to the plant shutdown were 0.10 - 0.13 gpm. This defect in the primary coolant system is unacceptable per ASME Section XI. The condition is 8-Hour reportable per 10CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(ii)(A). The plant will be cooled down to Mode 5 and additional inspections and necessary repairs implemented.</br>Dry boron crystal deposit are on the sensing line upstream of RCV-75 .

The leak was presumed to exist based on the presence of white, crystalline material deposited on the pipe. The material has been sampled and does NOT contain boron. The presumed leak site has been cleaned and visually inspected with no evidence of a defect in the weld joint or pipe. These additional inspections have demonstrated that the material deposited on the pipe does NOT constitute pressure boundary leakage, and therefore EN 41024 is retracted.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC resident inspector.e has notified the NRC resident inspector.  +
