A White inspection finding for the Emergency Diesel Generator #1 being out of service for a period of time in excess of that allowed by Technical Specifications was identified in the first quarter 2007. In addition, the performance indicator related to the Mitigating Systems Performance Index (MSPI) Emergency AC Power System, crossed the Green to White th reshold in the sec ond quarter of 2006 and remained White. Supplemental Inspection 95002 was completed in August 2007 for the White inspection finding involving the inoperab ility of EDG # 1 and the White Performance Indicator (MSPI -Emergency AC Power)the the results of which are documen ted in inspection report results of which are documen ted in inspection report 05000325/2007010.
