| event text = At 0843 CDT on September 4th, 2014, 1R-50 High Range Shield Building Vent Gas Monitor was removed from service for planned maintenance.  This monitor provides indication of release of gaseous radioactivity to the environment.  There is not a compensatory measure that will allow timely classification of two Emergency Action Levels when out of service: General Emergency Event RG1.1 and Site Area Emergency Event RS1.1.  This results in a loss of emergency assessment Capability while 1R-50 is out of service.  This is a reportable condition in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii).

Unit 1 Shield Building ventilation stack is also monitored by radiation monitor 1R-22 that is used for the same purpose in Alert or Unusual Event Emergency classifications.  1R-22 is being monitored and is indicating normal values.  There are no radioactive leaks that will impact the Shield Building as evidenced by normal readings on 1R-50 prior to its removal from service. The maintenance is scheduled for ten hours or will continue until the monitor is returned to service.  Maintenance will not result in the unplanned release of radioactivity to the environment and will not affect the safe operation of the plant or health and safety of the public.
