AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - TRAFFIC ACCIDENT INVOLVING RAM
The following was provided by the State via e-mail:
"Just after 0500 [EDT] two vans carrying medical RAM collided. There were no injuries. All southbound lanes [of Highway 200 in Marion County] were closed while the vehicles were removed. Hazmat determined that there was no damage or spill from the packages. One van had the packages jammed and they couldn't be removed at the scene. That van and driver were transported to Ocala where the packages can be removed. The other licensee is Cardinal Health 414, 3425 SW 42nd Way, Gainesville, FL 32608; license 3452-3, 3B. The licensees maintain possession of all RAM. No further action will be taken on this incident."

PLANNED POWER OUTAGE AT PRIMARY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS FACILITY (EOF)
"Southern California Edison has scheduled replacement of the backup diesel generator (DG) for the San Onofre Emergency Operations Facility (EOF), for Saturday May 31, 2008. While the new DG is being installed, the EOF will be inoperable. The EOF outage is expected to begin at about 0700 and last approximately 8 hours.
"The alternate EOF located in Irvine, CA, will be available should SONGS need to respond to an Emergency Event.
"The Emergency Recall System, which is housed in the EOF, will be out of service while the new DG is being installed. Should recall of the Emergency Response Organization (ERO) be necessary during the EOF outage, SCE will utilize alternate methods (contained in existing site procedures) for activating the ERO.
"This planned EOF outage is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii).
"At the time of this report, Unit 2 and Unit 3 were operating at about 99 percent and
98 percent power, respectively."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * UPDATE AT 2324 ON 5/31/2008 FROM MIKE McBREARTY TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * *
"The Emergency Operations Facility was returned to service on May 31, 2008 at 1810 PDT. SCE is continuing to troubleshoot problems identified with the transfer switch associated with the new backup diesel generator, and will inform the NRC Resident Inspectors when the backup DG is available."
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
