,g;3; l (BAST) indicated the boric acid concentration was below the specification limit of l

g l 20,100 PPM boron. Because the reactor cavity was filled, the Refueling Water l

l o,3 y l Storage Tank (RWST) was below the minimum specification level limit. At o720 hours, l

l 0 l6 l l Nos. 11 and 12 BAST's were declared inoperable, resulting in no borated water l

[ O l 7 l l source operable, and Action Statement 3.1.2.7 was entered.
