PART 21 REACTORS GRO (EMAI)
POTENTIAL PART 21 ISSUE ON MOTOR DEDICATIONS PERFORMED PRIOR TO JUNE 2002
The following information was obtained via fax:
"Pursuant to the 10 CFR Part 21 requirements, this letter is to notify the NRC of a potential Part 21 condition.
"While performing research on questions regarding acceleration presented by First Energy/Davis Besse, Schulz Electric identified that the acceleration calculation used to determine acceleration times for new motors which it dedicated before June 7, 2002 (at which time Schulz developed a shop instruction for calculating acceleration using the proper calculation) was incorrect. The use of this incorrect calculation could potentially cause misleading acceleration times, and therefore motors which may not perform as required by First Energy/Davis Besse and/or other customers.
"Schulz Electric will perform an evaluation to identify:
1. All projects that had acceleration calculations performed as part of a motor dedication prior to June 7, 2002.
2. The methodology used to perform the calculations.
3. Whether the actual acceleration times meet the acceleration/performance requirements of the applicable customers.
"Schulz Electric has the capability and chooses to perform the evaluation to determine if a defect exists. It is the responsibility of Schulz Electric to inform the purchaser(s), and any affected licensees.
"Schulz Electric will complete the specified evaluation of the circumstances within sixty (60) days of discovery of the potential defect. The NRC will be provided a copy of Schulz Electric's evaluation report.
"If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me [Charles 'Bill' Eldredge] by phone 203.562.5811, by fax 203.562.1082, or email me at Eldredge@schulzelectric.com."

"At 0951 EDT on September 6, 2014, it was determined that Beaver Valley Unit 2 had experienced an oil spill to the catch basin system that progressed to the Ohio River, requiring notification of:
National Response Center (incident report #1094523),
Pennsylvania (PA) Department of Environmental Protection,
Beaver County Emergency Management Agency,
PA Emergency Management Agency and,
Downstream water authorities (Midland Water Authority, Allegheny Ludlum, East Liverpool Water Co.)
"This notification is a required 4-hour report per 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi).
"Oil was inadvertently pumped from a transformer spill catch area during routine seasonal water removal efforts. Oil was not expected in the catch area and the spill catch area had tested negative for oil during pre-removal testing. An oil sheen has been detected on the Ohio River immediately surrounding the outfall. The source of the spill has been terminated, however some residual oil is washing out of the catch basin system into the river. It is estimated that less than 5 gallons entered the river.
"Clean up efforts for the catch basins are currently underway and containment efforts for the oil in the river are being evaluated. A press release is currently being planned.
* * * UPDATE FROM BLASE BARTKO TO HOWIE CROUCH AT 1025 EDT ON 9/7/14 * * *
The licensee has decided not to issue a press release concerning this event.

HQ OPS Officer: DANIEL MILLS Notification Date: 09/06/2014
Last Update Date: 09/06/2014
"At 0613 [CDT] on 9/6/2014, Technical Support Center roof mounted condensing units were found tripped by operations personnel. An attempt was made to restart both condensing units, neither condensing unit would restart. This caused a loss of Technical Support Center cooling capability. Technical Support Center Air Handling system is in service and required filtration remains available. Wet bulb temperature of the TSC, taken at 0950 [CDT] is 78.0 degrees F. Corrective action process has been initiated.
"This event is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) as described in NUREG-1022, Rev. 3, since this condition affects an emergency response facility."
