Subject: SHUTDOWN TO REPAIR 'B' REACTOR COOLANT PUMP SEAL                

Discussion:

On February 6, 1998, the licensee plans to remove the plant from service 
to repair a degraded No. 2 seal on the 'B' Reactor Coolant Pump. The     
plant outage is expected to last approximately seven days. The degraded  
seal performance was initially identified in January 1998, and efforts to
restore the seal performance to an acceptable level were not successful. 
Other work activities planned during the outage include testing of       
several containment isolation valves, replacement of electro-hydraulic   
control system wiring, and replacement of environmentally qualified cable
splices.

Subject: PERSONNEL INJURY FROM UNIT 1 ACID SPILL                         

Discussion:

On February 5, 1998, at 8:25 A.M. (CST), the resident inspectors were    
informed by the shift supervisor that two individuals were being         
transported to the Matagorda General Hospital in Bay City, TX for        
sulfuric acid burns.  They received the burns while working on a valve in
the Unit 1 condensate polishing system.  The workers had previously      
breached a double-isolated portion of the system and removed a flange for
repairs. While reinstalling the flange, piping stresses caused a         
body-to-bonnet bolt to break on one of the isolation valves relieving    
residual pressure in the pipe.  The acid sprayed one worker's face and   
arms. The worker's supervisor received an acid burn on his leg while     
assisting the injured worker.  The worker was treated for second-degree  
burns and released to his home.  The supervisor was treated for minor    
injuries and returned to work.                                           
                                                                         
The acid spill was minimal, with less than one gallon released, and was  
contained within the retaining berm of the condensate polisher system.   
Spill recovery has been completed.                                       

Regional Action:

The resident inspectors are reviewing the specific work activity of the  
injured worker and the safety equipment in use at the time of the        
incident.  Also, the residents will review the licensee's response to the
event.
