1 o ,21 10n January 17, 1982, during defueling operations, the Reactor Building equip- t

,,,,,  ; ment hatch was found to be leaking air through a gap in the seal at the bottom, of the hatch. This condition existed for fourteen hours of defueling opera-

,,o.I  ;

i,,,,i tions. If a fuel assembly had been dropped, the fuel would have remained t o . , i covered by the borated water in the refueling canal. Due to the small size of,

,3,,, gthe gap and the short duration of the incident, it is felt that the health and

,,, , safety of the public were not affected.
