A | | radiography trainee was involved in an incident that had the potential of | | being a significant overexposure (approximately 10 rem whole body and a | | licensee-calculated finger exposure of approximately 800 millirem) involving | | a 123-curie Iridium-192 source. On Tuesday January 5, 1999, representatives | | from the Texas Department of Health met with representatives from the Global | | X-Ray facility. | | | | The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the Texas | | Department of Health: | | | | "... On December 31, 1998, a radiographer and a radiographer trainee were | | working with a 123-curie Iridium-192 radiography source at a temporary job | | site when the trainee failed to retract the source into the shielded | | position. A collimator was not being used because an elliptical shot was | | being performed. As a result, the trainee was exposed to the source at | | [the] end of the guide tube for approximately 4 minutes at a distance of | | approximately 2 feet and touched the end cap where the source was located 3 | | or 4 times for 2 or 3 seconds each time. [The] only shielding was from the | | brass end cap. Symptoms of a radiation injury [appeared] on the index | | finger of the right hand on January 10, 1999." | | | | "[The] radiographer and trainee were sent on the job by the office manager, | | who had been told by the company president that the radiographer could act | | as a trainer because the paperwork requesting he be named a trainer had been | | mailed to the Bureau of Radiation Control." | | | | "[The] radiographer was new with the company, was not familiar with the | | trainee he was [sent] out with, and did not know that he was not a | | radiographer. [The] radiographer had been a trainer for several other | | radiography companies and was familiar with the requirements of a trainer | | working with a trainee." | | | | "[The] trainee thought they had finished work for the day and had taken his | | tool belt off and put it in the truck. His dosimeter and alarming rate | | meter was on his tool belt; therefore, he did not have [them] on when he was | | reshooting two radiographs at the end of the day. He had an operating | | survey meter but did not use it during the radiographs." | | | | "Calculations were made to approximate the whole body and finger extremity | | exposures. [The] trainee was uncertain of the details of the incident and | | was only able to give approximations... Whole body exposure calculations | | were approximately 10 rem, and finger extremity exposure calculations were | | 3,000 to 5,000 rem. [The] appearance of radiation injury symptoms 10 days | | from the date of the incident supports the extremity calculations." | | | | The NRC operations officer notified the R4DO (Spitzberg), NMSS EO | | (Surmeier), and IRD (Congel). | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 35265 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: BROWNS FERRY REGION: 2 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 01/14/1999| | UNIT: [] [] [3] STATE: AL |NOTIFICATION TIME: 20:26[EST]| | RXTYPE: [1] GE-4,[2] GE-4,[3] GE-4 |EVENT DATE: 01/14/1999| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 16:40[CST]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: RODNEY NACOSTE |LAST UPDATE DATE: 01/15/1999| | HQ OPS OFFICER: STEVE SANDIN +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: N/A |AL BELISLE R2 | |10 CFR SECTION: | | |AIND 50.72(b)(2)(iii)(D) ACCIDENT MITIGATION | | |NLCO TECH SPEC LCO A/S | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | | | | |3 N Y 100 Power Operation |100 Power Operation | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION (HPCI) INOPERABLE DUE TO AN OIL LEAK | | | | THE FOLLOWING TEXT IS A PORTION OF A FACSIMILE RECEIVED FROM THE LICENSEE: | | | | "DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF [PROCEDURE] 3-SR-3.5.1.7, HPCI MAIN AND BOOSTER | | PUMP SET DEVELOPED HEAD AND FLOW RATE TEST, WHILE THE HPCI PUMP WAS | | STARTING, AN OIL LEAK DEVELOPED ON [VALVE] 3-SV-73-18, HPCI STOP VALVE.

LCO 3.0.3 was not entered at the time both CREV subsystems | | were inoperable. Therefore, this condition also requires submission of an | | LER within 30 days per 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), any operation or condition | | prohibited by technical specifications." | | | | The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 35270 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: SAN ONOFRE REGION: 4 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 01/15/1999| | UNIT: [] [2] [] STATE: CA |NOTIFICATION TIME: 13:21[EST]| | RXTYPE: [1] W-3-LP,[2] CE,[3] CE |EVENT DATE: 01/15/1999| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 06:30[PST]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: JORGE RODRIQUEZ |LAST UPDATE DATE: 01/15/1999| | HQ OPS OFFICER: STEVE SANDIN +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: N/A |BLAIR SPITZBERG R4 | |10 CFR SECTION: | | |NONR OTHER UNSPEC REQMNT | | | | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | |2 N N 0 Refueling |0 Refueling | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GREATER THAN 1% OF STEAM GENERATOR TUBES REQUIRE PLUGGING | | | | "This notification is being made in accordance with San Onofre Unit 2 | | Technical Specification 5.5.2.11, 'Steam Generator Tube Surveillance | | Program.'
