| event text = On the evening of 5/10/2007, Cooper began a scheduled down power to accomplish required preventive and corrective maintenance, including replacement of directional control valves on three control rod drive (CRD) hydraulic control units (HCU).  HCU 26-27 was hydraulically isolated for maintenance.  The plant was in a single recirculation loop configuration to perform corrective maintenance on 'A' Recirculation Motor Generator.  A single reactor feed pump was in operation for corrective maintenance to the  'A' Reactor Feed Pump lube oil system.

At approximately 0025 CDT on 5/19/2007 reports from the field indicated that a small water leak had developed from the body to bonnet seal of CRD-V-122 for HCU 26-27.  The manual isolation valves for the HCU were already closed to isolate the maintenance area.  However, due to seat leakage past one or both of the manual isolation valves, the leakage continued and degraded to the point that a visible plume of steam was issuing from the valve.  Further, high airborne activity level developed in the vicinity of the HCU bank in the Reactor Building.  As a precaution, the Control Room supervisor (CRS) evacuated the Reactor Building at 0125 CDT.
