Subject: BROKEN SCREW FOUND INSIDE RPS TRIP CIRCUIT BREAKER CUBICLE      

Discussion:

At approximately 2:35 a.m., on 9/9/96, St. Lucie Unit 1 operating crew   
was conducting the RPS logic matrix surveillance test.  While conducting 
the surveillance test, the Nuclear Watch Engineer and the Station Nuclear
Plant Operator stationed at Trip Circuit Breaker #5 (GE-AK-2A-25-1)      
observed a portion of a broken screw, with a nut attached, loose in the  
breaker cubicle.  The logic matrix test was immediately suspended.       
Subsequent investigation by the licensee determined that the broken screw
came from a portion of the linkage inside the breaker cubicle.  The      
breaker was replaced and the RPS Trip Logic was restored to its normal   
configuration.                                                           
                                                                         
The licensee is performing metallurgical analyses to determine root cause
of the cadmium coated set screw failure.  The licensee is discussing with
the vendor the potential extent of condition (i.e. the number and        
location of similar set screws).  The root cause of the screw breaking is
under investigation.

Subject: SHUTDOWN DUE TO LEAK                                            

Discussion:

On September 10, 1996, at 10:45 (EDT), the Big Rock Point reactor was    
shut down to repair a packing leak on the isolation valve for the reactor
depressurization system (RDS) "D" train. The leak was discovered by an   
operator during normal rounds. The leak did not exceed operating limits; 
however, the difficulty of making on-line repairs convinced management to
shut down and make immediate repairs.                                    
                                                                         
The forced outage is expected to last approximately 6 days. Major work   
includes: 1) Number one feed pump packing replacement; 2) repack all RDS 
isolation valves; 3) inspect and repair backup core spray check valve;   
and 4) replace a relay on the plant generator output breaker.
