STOLEN TROXLER MODEL 3216 GAUGE
During the afternoon of September 16, 2002, a roof moisture gauge in its locked case was stolen from a locked van belonging to an Illinois Radioactive Material Licensee--IL Roof Consulting Associates, Inc. with license IL-01713-01. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) reported the break-in and theft to the IDNS and the Chicago Police within an hour of the theft. The gauge was a Troxler Model 3216, Serial Number 00173 with 40 millicuries of americium-241and was used for roofing moisture measurements. The van was parked in front of a Chicago public school while two workers were on the roof of the school--Leif Ericson Scholastic Academy--at 3600 W. 5th Avenue, Chicago. Near the end of the job the RSO had joined the two workers and then discovered the theft that occurred approximately 1435 as he was returning to the van with a second gauge that had been in use. The windows of the van were tinted to reduce visibility except for the drivers side window.

INVALID PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ISOLATION OF GROUP 2 AND 3 OUTBOARD VALVES
This 60-day optional report, as allowed by 10 CFR 50.73(a)(1), is being made under the reporting requirement in
10CFR50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A) to describe an unplanned, invalid actuation of a specified system, specifically Primary
Containment Isolation Valve (PCIV) Group 2 and 3 outboard valves.
On September 16, 2002, an over-voltage on the power supply to "B" Reactor Protection System (RPS) bus resulted
in a loss of power to the bus. The loss of power resulted in an invalid isolation of the outboard Secondary Containment Isolation Valves (SCIV) and outboard Group 2 and 3 PCIVs. Additionally, "B" Standby Gas Treatment (SGT) started due to an invalid auto initiation signal and RPS received an invalid half scram signal.
The affected systems responded as expected for the given conditions and were subsequently returned to a normal configuration when power was restored to the B RPS bus. No deficiencies or abnormalities were noted during the event.
This event has been entered into the site-specific corrective action program for resolution.
The NRC resident has been informed.
