Subject: FOLLOWUP TO MANUAL REACTOR TRIP FROM 100% POWER DUE TO LOSS OF  
         TURBINE BUILDING COOLING (NORMAL SERVICE WATER SYSTEM)          

Reportable Event Number: 30954                         

Discussion:

On September 3, 1996 at 11:42 p.m. the plant was operating at 100 percent
power when flow and pressure for the B normal service water pump (turbine
building cooling water) was lost for unknown reasons.  Control Room      
operators manually started the standby A normal service water pump but it
tripped after 2 to 3 minutes for unknown reasons.  This resulted in a    
loss of cooling water to the main feedwater and condensate pumps and     
vacuum pumps.                                                            
                                                                         
In anticipation of the loss of Balance of Plant equipment, control room  
operators manually tripped the reactor from 100 percent power.  All      
control rods inserted completely.  The auxiliary feedwater system auto   
started as expected on low low steam generator water level setpoint due  
to shrink from the reactor trip.  Steam is being dumped to the atmosphere
via the steam generator power operated relief valves.  The plant is      
stable in Mode 3 (Hot Standby).                                          
                                                                         
Both trains of Emergency Service Water are operable to supply emergency  
needs.  The licensee's initial review shows that the B normal service    
water pump suffered a impeller failure while the A pump tripped on       
electrical starting interlocks.  Investigation continues and the plant   
plans to remain shutdown until hurricane Fran has passed.                
                                                                         

Regional Action:

The resident inspector responded to the site and continues to review the 
licensee's troubleshooting action.
