Radiation monitor RM-14A, was taken out of service on 8/12/15 at 0236 for replacement ofupgraded equipment under ECP 13-000030.

However, due to challenges to the workschedule presented by unusually high temperatures in the Intermediate Building fromunseasonably hot weather, the modification was not completed within 30 days. Installation and testing have been completed and the radiation monitor was returned to operable statuson 9/23/1 5. During the time that RM-14A was Out of Service, compensatory measures werein place.Return to service of the radiation monitor was delayed based on worker safety issues withheat stress. Corrective Action Program issue report 2555033 was opened to document theradiation monitor being inoperable for greater than 30 days.There are no regulatory commitments contained in this letter.
