ONE SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL CONTAINER UNEXPECTEDLY RETURNED TO BWXT.
Westinghouse Electric Company received a telephone call from BWXT stating they had received one 3-gallon container of uranyl nitrate crystals from Westinghouse in a SNM shipping container labeled as empty.
This container was originally shipped from BWXT to Westinghouse on 07/17/01 for processing and was documented by a 741 form. Ninety-six containers were indicated on the 741, but one was inadvertently left in the outer shipping container or put back into the shipping container and returned to BWXT for the next shipment.
BWXT stated that the original inner container Tamper Indicating Device was still on the container and intact.
After discussion and clarification of the incident with BWXT personnel, Westinghouse Electric Company personnel determined at 1700 hours that this incident was reportable to the NRC Operation Center.
***** UPDATE FROM DAN COLWELL TO LEIGH TROCINE RECEIVED AT 1000 ON 07/31/01 *****
The licensee provided this update to correct the initial discovery date. It should have been 07/30/01 in lieu of 07/29/01.
The NRC operations officer notified the R2DO (Widmann), NMSS EO (Brach), NMSS IAT (Warren), and IRO (Holonich). (Contact the NRC operations officer for licensee contact information.)
