PART 21 REPORT - FLOW SCANNER 6.6 CODE ERROR
The following information was received via e-mail:
"Fisher Information Notice: FIN 2017-04: Erroneous Rotary Seating Torque Calculation in FlowScanner Software
"This Fisher Information Notice (FIN) applies only to the equipment identified in Appendix A, which lists serial numbers and order numbers that were delivered to customers. Specifically, it applies to FlowScanner 6.6 (build 6.6.000.29) and 6.6 SP1 (build 6.6.000.67). Appendix B of this document includes a decision tree to help customers further determine if this FIN applies to any work performed.
"The purpose of this FIN is to alert affected customers that, as of 29 June 2017, Fisher Controls International LLC (Fisher) became aware of a situation which may affect the performance of the aforementioned equipment. Fisher is informing affected customers of this circumstance in accordance with Section 21.21 (b) of 10 CFR 21.
"In the process of updating a customer's older FlowScanner software version to 6.6.000.67 (SP1), the customer performed additional software acceptance validation and discovered a discrepancy between the two software versions when calculating Seating Torque values for Rotary Valve assemblies with Lever Arm linkage type. An equation in 6.6.000.67 is the cause for the discrepancy. This equation was incorrectly written in code with a lack of an additional set of parentheses to order the execution of mathematical functions correctly. In code writing, this is considered a typographical error.
"When FlowScanner 6.6 was in development, there was a need to incorporate a new actuator design into the FlowScanner torque calculations. Because of the design of this actuator, the torque equations and configuration database in FlowScanner required modification. This code was modified on 7 November 2012. FlowScanner 6.6 (build 6.6.000.29) and 6.6 SP1 (build 6.6.000.67) were released subsequent this date and contained the erroneous calculation. Shipments of software were stopped on 30 July 2017 and no shipments took place between 29 June 2017 and 30 July 2017. This code was not transferred to the QUIKLOOK FS software utilized on the QUIKLOOK 3-FS diagnostic system. Thus, this error does not extend into QUIKLOOK FS software.
"The equation has been corrected and full-installation CDs will be ready for distribution to affected customers by 1 December 2017. In addition, a Corrective Action Request (CAR 2017-009) has been initiated by Fisher to prevent reoccurrence of this issue. Additionally, Software Error Notice SEN17-01 was created and released to affected customers on 2 August 2017.
"Fisher requests that the recipient of this FlN review it and take appropriate action in accordance with 10 CFR 21. If there are any technical questions or concerns, please contact:

"Appendix B - Decision Tree for Applicability
How to determine if this FIN applies to you: Are you using FlowScanner 6.6 or 6.6 SP1?
If 'YES', do you use FlowScanner 6.6 or 6.6 SP1 to complete a 'Dynamic Scan' test on rotary valves with lever arm linkages? Such as any TAG configured with 'LEVER ARM' in the 'Linkage Type' field for example Fisher Types 1052, 2052, and 1061
If 'YES', do you manually select the significant points for Seating Torque and Break Out Torque from the 'Dynamic Scan' test?
If 'YES', do you use the Seating Torque result value provided by FlowScanner for any qualification, validation, or acceptance activities?
If you answered 'NO' to ALL of these questions, this software error does not affect your usage of the FlowScanner 6.6 or 6.6 SP1 software.
If you answered 'YES' to ANY of the questions, further evaluation of the affected Seating Torque test results may be necessary. A workaround has been issued to affected customers."

AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP ON TURBINE TRIP
"On 8/28/2017 at 0837 [EDT], VC Summer Nuclear Station automatically tripped due to a turbine trip. The turbine trip was caused by the Main Generator Differential Lockout due to a fault on the center phase lightning arrester on the Main Transformer (XTF-001).
"There were no complications with the trip. All control rods fully inserted. Balance of Plant (BOP) buses automatically transferred to their alternate power source XTF 31/32. All Emergency Feedwater pumps started as required. All systems responded as required. The plant is stable in Mode 3. Station personnel are investigating the cause of the fault on the main transformer lightning arrester.
"This event is reportable per 10 CFR 50. 72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and 10 CFR 50. 72(b)(3)(iv)(A).
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The unit is currently stable in Mode 3 with decay heat removal via the Main Steam to the Main Condenser.
The licensee will inform both State and local authorities.

RECEIPT OF A CONTAMINATED PACKAGE
This incident is being reported under 10CFR20.1906(d) and 10CFR71.87(i).
A contaminated package was received from Cardinal Health at approximately 0700 EDT on 8/28/17. The package contained 49.41 mCi of I-131 and had removable surface contamination. The first wipe test exhibited 0.4 microCi/300 sq. cm Tc-99m and the second wipe was 0.25 microCi Tc-99m/300 sq. cm. The interior of the package was not contaminated. The package was isolated pending disposition.
Cardinal Health was contacted. Their delivery van and driver were surveyed and exhibited no contamination.
