MAIN CONTROL ROOM BOUNDARY DOOR DID NOT PROPERLY LATCH
"During [surveillance] checks of Control Room doors, a boundary door did not latch after being accessed until the door was opened and closed. This is being
reported as it could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function to mitigate the consequences of an accident per 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D).
The door is currently closed and latched. The door was in this condition for between 5 and 10 seconds."
The licensee notified the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, Town of Waterford and the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * RETRACTION PROVIDED BY THOMAS CLEARY TO JEFF ROTTON ON 01/08/2015 AT 1539 EST * * *
"Upon further review, Millstone Power Station Unit 2 has concluded that there was no loss of safety function, because even with the control room door latch degraded, the control room door and its closing mechanism would still be able to maintain the control room envelope's boundary intact. Therefore, this condition is not reportable and NRC Event Number 50712 is being retracted.
"The basis for this conclusion will be provided to the NRC Resident Inspector."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
Notified R1DO (Jackson).

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST PO-210 SOURCE
The following report was received via e-mail:
"The general licensee's president said he lost the static eliminator sometime in 2015. The general licensee's president said he used the device once and it did not work well. The general licensee also said the static eliminator must be lost and is probably in the dump somewhere."
Make/Model: NRD / P-2021
Serial: A2KD940
Source: Po-210, 10 mCi in April 1995
Mississippi Report: MS-180002
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
