Subject: PLANT SHUTDOWN                                                  

Discussion:

During a routine unidentified leakrate calculation at 10 a.m. (CST) on   
November 17, 1998, the licensee determined that the leakage had taken a  
step increase from 0.18 to 0.52 gpm.  The licensee subsequently performed
another leakrate calculation at 8:50 p.m. and determined that leakage had
increased to 1.18 gpm.  The licensee entered the appropriate Technical   
Specification, which requires a plant shutdown within 6 hours, and       
commenced making preparations for shutting down the plant.  At 9:55 p.m.,
another leakrate calculation was performed and the leakrate had dropped  
to 0.93 gpm.  Licensee personnel entered containment to identify the     
source of the leakage and noted that water could be seen flowing from    
around the seal area of Reactor Coolant Pump 2B.  The licensee determined
that a plant shutdown would be required to repair the leak and, on       
November 18, at 4:30 a.m., a shutdown was initiated and Mode 3 was       
entered at 6:30 a.m.                                                     
                                                                         
Subsequent detailed investigations by the licensee verified that the     
leakage was from the Reactor Coolant Pump 2B seal area.  Based on this   
information, the licensee decided to place the plant on shutdown cooling 
in order to repair the seal.  It is currently estimated by the licensee  
that the shutdown will be approximately 7 days, with plant startup       
commencing on November 23, 1998.
