DAMAGED MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
At the intersection of Toll Road 528 east of Highway 417 in Orlando a CPN Model MC-3, serial number 8027 moisture density gauge was damaged. "A water truck backed up over the gauge and bent the rod. The rod was later retracted to the shielded condition. The gauge will be returned to CPN for repair. No further action will be taken on incident. "
Typically this model gauge contains a 10 milliCuries Cs-137 source and a 50 milliCuries Am-247/Be source.
The State of Florida incident number is FL08-075. |

TEXAS AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - TWO AM-241 STATIC ELIMINATOR SOURCES MISSING
The Solo Cup Company contacted the State of Texas concerning two 20.25 milliCurie Am-241 static eliminator sources that are missing. The Solo Cup company was unable to locate the sources following a request by the manufacturer (NRD) to return them as part of a source recall. The source serial numbers are SA-3232 and SA-3242. Model A-2003.
The State investigation of the missing sources is in progress.
TX Report I-8511
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks. |

STOLEN TROXLER MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
A model 3401 Troxler moisture density gauge was stolen when the 2001 burgundy Ford van it was stored in was stolen while parked at Omego Restaurant, 22501 Eight Mile Road, Detroit, MI. The gauge contains 8 millicuries of Cs-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241. The gauge was properly stored in its transport case and was chained to the floor in the back of the van. The Detroit police have been notified and have begun their investigation (Report # OCA0805170176).
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source |

FAILED RELAY CAUSES EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR TO START
"At 0904 on 5/17/2008, ' D' and 'E' transfer busses were lost due to a failed relay on a supply breaker in the switchyard. Emergency Diesel Generators #2 and #3 auto-started to re-power the 1J and 2H Emergency Busses. Shutdown cooling on U2 was maintained during the event. U1 remained at 100% power. Offsite power was restored to the 1J and 2H Emergency busses at 1211.
"This 8 hour report is being made for Surry Units 1 and 2 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A)."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
