| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3 " level of radioactive material. | Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN TROXLER GAUGE
The following report was received from the State of Florida via email:
"At approximately 0800 [EST], a construction 'con-x box' was found with a padlock and chain cut off. The Troxler Gauge Model No. 3440, Ser. No. 70830 was found missing. The incident was immediately reported to [the licensee Radiation Safety Officer], who reported the incident to BRC [Bureau of Radiation Control]. [The licensee Radiation Safety Officer] reported the theft to law enforcement."
The gauge contains 8 mCi of Cs-137 and 40 mCi of Am-241/Be.
Incident Number: FL15-135
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 material event contains a "Less than Cat 3 " level of radioactive material. | Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS
The following was received from the State of Nebraska via facsimile:
"During the annual inventory certification cycle for Pacific Ethanol Aurora West, the licensee discovered two missing tritium signs. These signs were originally shipped March 3, 2011 with 11.5 curies of material. Current approximate activity calculated as of 12/29/2015 is 8.77 curies. Pacific Ethanol Aurora West shut down for an estimated 18 months between 2012 and 2014. It is assumed these signs went missing at this time."
The missing exit signs are Isolite SLX-60 with serial numbers 435489 and 435495.

"At [2258] CST, on January 5, 2016, with the plant operating at 100 percent power, the main control room alarm indicating high pressure in the auxiliary building actuated. Operators confirmed that the building pressure, corrected for temperature, indicated slightly positive, whereas the building pressure limit in Technical Specifications is 0.0 - 3.0 inches of water negative pressure. Secondary containment was declared inoperable, and the Division 2 standby gas system was started. This action restored building pressure to the acceptable range, and the building was declared operable at [0027 CST] on January 6.
"This condition is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C) as an event that caused the secondary containment to be potentially incapable of performing its safety function. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector was notified." | |
