The gauge is a Troxler Model 3440, serial number | | 21935. It contains approximately 8 millicuries of Cesium 137 (source serial | | number 75-3524) and approximately 40 millicuries of Americium-Beryllium | | (source serial number 47-17271). The company vehicle is a 1999 white Ford | | F-150 extended cab pickup, company number 50, Arizona license [ ]. The Tempe | | police have been notified and are investigating. The company is offering a | | $250 reward for information leading to the return of the gauge and truck. | | | | "The U.S. NRC, FBI, Mexico, and the states of Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New | | Mexico and California are being informed of this incident." | | | | * * * UPDATE ON 6/4/02 BY WRIGHT (BY FAX) TO GOULD * * * | | | | The gauge and truck have been recovered. | | | | The FBI, Mexico and the states of Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and | | California were informed. | | | | Notified Reg 4 RDO (Pellet), NMSS (Brown), IAT (Davidson) | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 38967 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: COOK REGION: 3 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 06/06/2002| | UNIT: [1] [] [] STATE: MI |NOTIFICATION TIME: 02:51[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] W-4-LP,[2] W-4-LP |EVENT DATE: 06/05/2002| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 23:00[EDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: DUANE COBB |LAST UPDATE DATE: 06/06/2002| | HQ OPS OFFICER: STEVE SANDIN +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: UNUSUAL EVENT |JAMES CREED R3 | |10 CFR SECTION: |STUART RICHARDS NRR | |AAEC 50.72(a) (1) (i) EMERGENCY DECLARED |JOSEPH HOLONICH IRO | | |DEPUY FEMA | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |1 N N 0 Hot Shutdown |0 Hot Shutdown | | | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | UNIT 1 DECLARED AN UNUSUAL EVENT DUE TO RCS LEAKAGE > 25 GPM DURING | | SURVEILLANCE TESTING | | | | "D.C. Cook Unit One declares entry and exit of an Unusual Event due to | | Reactor Coolant System leakage of greater than 25 gallons per minute. On | | June 5 @ 23:00 while performing an 18 month surveillance [1-IHP-4030-102-017 | | 'Pressurizer PORV/Actuation Channel Calibration with Valve Operation'] on | | the Pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valves (PORVs) an unblocked PORV | | lifted and discharged to the Pressure Relief Tank (PRT) for approximately 15 | | seconds. This lifting discharged approximately 100 gallons to the PRT. The | | Initiating Condition for this Unusual Event is Reactor Coolant System | | leakage greater than 25 gallons per minute. | | | | "The plant is and was in Mode 4. Conditions remain stable after manual | | isolation of the PORV with the Control Switch of the Block Valve by the | | assisting Reactor Operator." | | | | The licensee attributed this occurrence to the recently revised procedure | | identified above which did not address blocking the other PORVs during | | testing. The licensee informed state and local agencies and the NRC | | Resident Inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Other Nuclear Material |Event Number: 38968 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | REP ORG: BJ SERVICES COMPANY |NOTIFICATION DATE: 06/06/2002| |LICENSEE: BJ SERVICES COMPANY |NOTIFICATION TIME: 10:57[EDT]| | CITY: TOMBALL REGION: 4 |EVENT DATE: 06/06/2002| | COUNTY: STATE: TX |EVENT TIME: [CDT]| |LICENSE#: AGREEMENT: Y |LAST UPDATE DATE: 06/06/2002| | DOCKET: |+----------------------------+ | |PERSON ORGANIZATION | | |ELMO COLLINS R4 | | |FRED BROWN NMSS | +------------------------------------------------+ | | NRC NOTIFIED BY: CHARLOTTE BELLON | | | HQ OPS OFFICER: STEVE SANDIN | | +------------------------------------------------+ | |EMERGENCY CLASS: NON EMERGENCY | | |10 CFR SECTION: | | |BLO1 20.2201(a)(1)(i) LOST/STOLEN LNM>1000X | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | GENERAL LICENSE CESIUM-137 SOURCE COULD NOT BE ACCOUNTED FOR | | | | BJ Services, an oil field service company, determined that a general | | licensed source could not be located. The source, 250 mCi Cs-137 sealed in | | special form manufactured circa 1984, was installed in a Kay Ray Model 7063 | | instrument, S/N 28820, used for slurry density measurements. The last | | recorded location was Rock Springs, WY, on September 8, 1990 for a leak | | test. The instrument was then owned by Western Company which was acquired | | by BJ Services in 1995. BJ Services has discussed this incident with | | R4(Donovan) and will continue their investigation. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 38969 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: COMANCHE PEAK REGION: 4 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 06/06/2002| | UNIT: [] [2] [] STATE: TX |NOTIFICATION TIME: 22:21[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] W-4-LP,[2] W-4-LP |EVENT DATE: 06/06/2002| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 19:24[CDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: LEON NEAT |LAST UPDATE DATE: 06/06/2002| | HQ OPS OFFICER: FANGIE JONES +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: NON EMERGENCY |ELMO COLLINS R4 | |10 CFR SECTION: |NADER MAMISH R4 | |ARPS 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) RPS ACTUATION - CRITICA| | |AESF 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) VALID SPECIF SYS ACTUAT| | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | |2 A/R Y 100 Power Operation |0 Hot Standby | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | REACTOR TRIP CAUSED BY TURBINE TRIP | | | | The reactor tripped due to a turbine trip due to a main generator trip | | caused by a high vibration on the main generator primary water pump shaft. | | All systems functioned properly. The plant is stable in Mode 3 with steam | | generator level being maintained with auxiliary feedwater (started | | automatically on low steam generator level) and excess heat being removed | | via the steam bypassed to the main condenser. | | | | Primary water pump vibration trip is a 2 out of 2 channel coincidence. | | There was no indication of high vibration on the plant recorder. At the | | time of the trip, an investigation was ongoing on one of the channels that | | was in alarm. An investigation continues into the sensors and circuits | | associated with the high vibration trip. The plant will remain in Mode 3 | | until the problem is identified and corrected. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
