Event Notification Report for June 01, 2011

MEDICAL TREATMENT WITH CONTAMINATION

"An employee was treated in the site dispensary for irritation to the eye. The employee's coveralls, knee area, and boots were surveyed and determined to be contaminated (coveralls 2,643 dpm per 100 cm2 [centimeters-squared], boots 3,126 dpm per 100 cm2). Employee stated that they were cleaning out the bottom of the cone on A1 HF filter bowl from the top of the filter when something entered their eye. The individual stated that they saw a small amount of dust in the bottom of the filter bowl, but did not actually see dust near their eye. Other employees were present at the time but, did not notice what had occurred and the affected employee did not tell them what had happened. The individual returned to work after treatment."

The licensee will be making a notification to NRC Region II.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - TROXLER MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE DAMAGED AT A LANDFILL

The following information was received via fax:

"The licensee's portable density gauge operator was performing compaction studies with a Troxler Model 3430 on the slopes of a landfill. The source was in the locked position and the operator was present and standing about 30 feet away. A bulldozer came up over the slope and impacted the gauge. The gauge was intact except for damage to the shutter. The operator immediately contacted the RSO who responded to the site with a survey meter within minutes. Readings were within guidelines. The gauge was returned to its case, and loaded for transport. The RSO surveyed the area to check for contamination. No elevated readings were found. The gauge is in its locked storage area pending instructions from Troxler."

NJ Report ID No. NJ11004

* * * UPDATE FROM CATHERINE BIEL TO VINCE KLCO ON 6/3/2011 AT 1530 EDT * * *

The gauge electronics and outside cover were crushed and the shutter was damaged. However the source housing and the source rod were not damaged and were intact.

Notified the R1DO (Conte) and FSME (Von Till).

EMPLOYEE SUFFERING CHEST PAINS TRANSPORTED OFFSITE

"A contract employee complained of chest pains. The individual was taken into the dispensary and then transported to a local medical facility by ambulance. The individual had been performing janitorial duties at the time of the occurrence. The individual had approximately 12,700 dpm per 100 cm2 [centimeters-squared] contamination on the bottom of plant issued shoes.

"There was no other contamination detected on the individual's plant clothing or person. Before being transported to the offsite medical facility the individual's shoes and plant clothing were removed. The individual was free of contamination before being transported to the offsite medical facility.

"Subsequently the individual was released from the medical facility and released to return to work."

TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO VENTILATION CONDENSER UNIT FAILURE

"The Technical Support Center (TSC) has been rendered non-functional due to a malfunctioning TSC ventilation system. Investigation into the cause of elevated TSC room temperature led to the discovery of a malfunctioning condensing unit compressor. Repairs to the ventilation system were immediately initiated with high priority.

"Compensatory measures per FNP-0-EIP-6.0 (TSC Setup and Activation) for maintaining emergency assessment, off-site response, and off-site communication capabilities are being put in place. These measures include the conditional relocation of the TSC staff in the event of a declared emergency if the Emergency Director deems the TSC to be uninhabitable."

The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.

BOTH TRAINS OF COMPONENT COOLING WATER DECLARED INOPERABLE DUE TO VOIDING

"At 1315 (CDT), while in Mode 3 at normal operating pressure and 552?F, both trains of Component Cooling Water (CCW) were inoperable due to indications of voiding. The 'A' Train CCW had been declared inoperable at 1000 (CDT) when review of pump test data indicated a potential void and Technical Specification LCO 3.7.7, 'Component Cooling Water (CCW) System,' Condition A was entered. At 1315 (CDT), indications of voiding were identified in the common service loop piping, which was aligned to the 'B' Train CCW. The 'B' Train CCW was declared inoperable and the plant entered LCO 3.0.3 due to both CCW Trains being inoperable.

"At 1410 (CDT) plant cool down to Mode 4 was commenced. The 'A' Train CCW has subsequently been vented and void volume is currently within allowable limits for operability. However, further evaluation of this voiding is underway prior to declaring the 'A' Train CCW operable."

The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

* * * RETRACTION ON 7/26/11 AT 1305 EDT FROM ISCH TO HUFFMAN * * *

The licensee is retracting this event based on the following:

"Further engineering evaluation concluded the amount of gas ingested by the 'A' CCW pump would not cause any degradation to the pump. The remainder of the gas in the system was less than the acceptance criteria for the CCW system. The 'A' CCW train was capable of performing its specified safety function and therefore would have been considered operable. The condition would not have prevented the CCW System from fulfilling its safety function and would not be reportable under 10 CFR 50.72."

The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector. R4DO (Gaddy) notified.
