ENCLOSURE 2 EMERGENCY SHUTDOWNS AND SCRAMS There were eight scrams due to noise on the Log N Period channel. The staff determined that cooling tower #1 has been a large source of the noise that has been causing these scrams. The level control system for the cooling tower energizes a solenoid valve to fill the reservoir. When the solenoid changes state, a noise signal is generated back through the AC power line. This noise signal is picked up by the Log N Period channel, which causes the period indication to become unstable when reactor power is in the start-up range. A scram occurs whenever the Log N Period channel indicates a period of three seconds or less. On windy days when cooling tower #1 is in use, the wind causes ripples in the reservoir water, which causes the level probes to oscillate between the fill and no fill states. This causes the solenoid valve to oscillate open and closed, generating a lot of noise back through the AC power line.

To combat this problem, a stiller has been put around the reservoir level probes to minimize the effect of ripples in the reservoir water, and an isolation transformer has been put in the AC power line between the secondary cooling system power and the reactor console power, in order to prevent noise in the line from getting back to the Log N Period Channel.

or ENCLOSURE 3 The following is a listing of the major maintenance operations performed in the 2004-2005 reporting period which includes impact upon the safe operation of the reactor and the reasons for corrective maintenance.

This information is required by Technical Specification 6.8.4.c.

1. Replacement of Secondary Cooling Tower Level Control Systems As discussed in Enclosure 2, the level control systems for the secondary cooling towers were replaced because the old systems generated noise that interfered with reactor start-ups.
2. Installation of Bollards on the rear side of the facility Bollards were installed at the rear of the facility, in accordance with the RINSC Security Plan.
3.

Installation of Inline Primary Coolant Conductivity and pH Instrumentation Inline conductivity and pH instrumentation was installed in the Primary Coolant System. Calibration of the system is in progress.

ENCLOSURE 4 FACILITY CHANGES -10CFR50.59 REVIEW The following is a listing and description of IOCFR50.59 evaluations conducted during the 2004-2005 reporting period. This information is required by Technical Specification 6.8.4.d.

1. Modification of Neutron Flux Monitor HV Trip Pursuant to 10CFR50.59, a committee was formed to evaluate the modification of the Neutron Flux Monitor HV Trip. The Neutron Flux Monitor HV scram was wired through an alarm relay in the monitor, as well as through the "Inst Trouble" annunciator indicator on the console.
2. Modification of Shim Safety Blade Position Indicators Pursuant to IOCFR50.59, a committee was formed to evaluate the modification of the Shim Safety Blade Position Indicators. The mechanical odometers that were being used for shim safety blade position indication were replaced with optical encoders. Also, the old blade position displays were replaced with new digital displays.

ENCLOSURE 5 RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS

1. Environmental Surveys Outside the Facility - Technical Specification 6.8.4.e Quarterly OSL' badges are deployed outside the reactor building in three separate locations. The general public does not frequent these locations and therefore occupancy factors may be used to approximate annual dose. The allowable external dose rates must be below 50 mrem per year. The quarterly doses in units of mrem are shown in the table below.

LOCATION 3RD QTR 2004

-4T QTR 2004 1 QTR 2005 2ND QTR 20052 Northeast Wall 32 7

27 1

Demineralizer 96 122 85 107 D o o r Heat Exchanger 12 42 18 11 Door I

I I

These areas are in locations where access is limited. Consequently, the general public will not frequent these areas, and appropriate occupancy factors can be used to approximate annual dose. Assuming that the maximum time that a member of the general public would be present in one of these locations is 15 minutes per day, an occupancy factor of 0.01 can be used to obtain the annual dose that would be received by a member of the general public, in any of these areas.

The dose rate in the Northeast Wall area is due to storage of RAM, and is present regardless of reactor operation. Applying the occupancy factor, the annual dose to an individual in this area would be 0.67 mrem over the course of last year. The annual dose rate at the Demineralizer and Heat Exchanger Doors is dependent on the operations schedule of the reactor. Ignoring the fact that the dose rate is not present 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day, and applying the occupancy factor of 0.01, the annual dose that would be received by an individual at the Demineralizer Door would be 4.10 mrem. Likewise the dose received at the Heat Exchanger Door would be 0.83 mrem.

2. Annual Exposures Exceeding 500 mrem - Technical Specification 6.8.4.f There were no personnel exposures greater than 500 mrem.
3. Radioactive Effluents - Technical Specification 6.8.4.g A. Gaseous effluent concentrations are documented on the Monthly Information Sheets (Form NSC-
78) enclosed. The gaseous effluents, primarily Argon-41, were less than 5% of the 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 1 effluent limits.

B. Liquid effluent concentrations released to the sewer are documented on the Sewer Disposal Record (Form NSC-52) and/or the Liquid Release Record (Form NSC-17). No liquids were discharged during the reporting period.
