PART 21 - 304L STAINLESS STEEL USED INSTEAD OF 316 STAINLESS STEEL

After being notified that tubing fittings which should have been machined from 316 Stainless Steel appeared to have been machined from 304 Stainless Steel instead, Parker Hannifin had chemical and mechanical property testing performed on the fittings. The testing confirmed that the material was actually 304L SS not 316 SS.

Parker Hannifin compiled a list of all potential part numbers and customers affected by this nonconformance. Parker Hannifin reviewed the records related to each of the seventeen safety-related part numbers shipped within the applicable time frame. The only order invoking 10CFR Part 21 that shipped with the corresponding heat code was shipped to South Texas Project. STP received 150 pieces of part number 4-2 FBZ-SS-CNQ.

Parker Hannifin is notifying STP of this nonconformance.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - SOURCE DISCONNECT EVENT

The following information was received via E-mail:

"On June 18, 2013, the Department [Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment] was notified by the Corporate RSO of Libertytown USA 2 (Colo. 1191-01), a radiography company, that they had experienced a source disconnect event earlier that day. The Corporate RSO reported that a crew had been performing radiographic operations in Meade, Colorado and the onsite radiographer was unable to retract the source following a shot. The radiographer secured the area and contacted the local Colorado RSO who responded to the site and took command of the situation. After consultation and assessment by phone with the Corporate RSO, the Colorado RSO was able to retract the source back into the exposure device. The camera was secured and taken out-of-service pending inspection, maintenance, or repair. The initial cause of the event is under investigation. The licensee is in the process of obtaining reports from personnel involved and will submit a final report to the Department within 30 days. The Corporate RSO reported an exposure of 3 mrem to the Colorado RSO and 10 mrem to the radiographer during the recovery operations. The site of the event was a remote location and no members of the public were exposed as a result of the source disconnect. The Department will investigate further, pending additional information from the licensee.
