The licensee utilizes irradiator facilities large | | enough for an individual to enter. The individual's dosimeter was read by | | the personnel monitoring vendor (i.e., Landauer) as 94 Rem DDE, 94 Rem LDE | | and 112 Rem SDE. The dosimetry was worn during the period of April 1 to | | April 30, 2002. The licensee commenced an investigation to determine the | | validity of the high and unexpected reading. The licensee will conduct an | | interview with the individual and also the State indicated a blood test will | | most likely be performed. The State indicated the badge received a "static" | | exposure, and it will probably turn out to be a dosimeter-only exposure. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 38987 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: CALVERT CLIFFS REGION: 1 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 06/13/2002| | UNIT: [1] [2] [] STATE: MD |NOTIFICATION TIME: 00:57[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] CE,[2] CE |EVENT DATE: 06/12/2002| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 23:41[EDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: BRUCE SHICK |LAST UPDATE DATE: 06/13/2002| | HQ OPS OFFICER: LEIGH TROCINE +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: NON EMERGENCY |LAWRENCE DOERFLEIN R1 | |10 CFR SECTION: |FEMA, DOE, USDA, HHS FAX | |APRE 50.72(b)(2)(xi) OFFSITE NOTIFICATION |EPA, DOT (via NRC) FAX | | | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |1 N N 0 Cold Shutdown |0 Cold Shutdown | |2 N Y 100 Power Operation |100 Power Operation | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | OFFSITE NOTIFICATION REGARDING A RELEASE OF RAW SEWAGE TO THE CHESAPEAKE | | BAY | | | | The licensee reported that an air leak caused a level detector in a large | | inlet pumping well to fail low. As a result, the sump pumps stopped and did | | not restart when actual level reached the high level setpoint. The inlet | | sump of the onsite sewage treatment plant subsequently overflowed, and raw | | sewage was released to the Chesapeake Bay. | | | | The licensee estimates that the quantity of raw sewage involved was between | | 2,500 and 7,200 gallons. Additional calculations are currently being | | performed. The level detector malfunctioned has since been repaired. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector and local county and plans | | to notify the Maryland Department of Environmental Protection. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Power Reactor |Event Number: 38988 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | FACILITY: MILLSTONE REGION: 1 |NOTIFICATION DATE: 06/13/2002| | UNIT: [] [2] [] STATE: CT |NOTIFICATION TIME: 13:02[EDT]| | RXTYPE: [1] GE-3,[2] CE,[3] W-4-LP |EVENT DATE: 06/13/2002| +------------------------------------------------+EVENT TIME: 11:20[EDT]| | NRC NOTIFIED BY: MYERS |LAST UPDATE DATE: 06/13/2002| | HQ OPS OFFICER: CHAUNCEY GOULD +-----------------------------+ +------------------------------------------------+PERSON ORGANIZATION | |EMERGENCY CLASS: NON EMERGENCY |LAWRENCE DOERFLEIN R1 | |10 CFR SECTION: |TERRY REIS EO | |APRE 50.72(b)(2)(xi) OFFSITE NOTIFICATION | | | | | | | | | | | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ |UNIT |SCRAM CODE|RX CRIT|INIT PWR| INIT RX MODE |CURR PWR| CURR RX MODE | +-----+----------+-------+--------+-----------------+--------+-----------------+ | | | |2 N Y 100 Power Operation |100 Power Operation | | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ EVENT TEXT +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | OFFSITE NOTIFICATION MADE TO LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE | | | | | | A fire in the owner controlled area 1/2 mile outside the protected area | | occurred at their training facility and a call for offsite assistance was | | made.

It was noted that a | | section of fire protection system piping was identified as a potential | | source for moderate energy spray onto 2ETA. Engineering performed a review | | of both the spray distances assumed in the moderate energy spray criteria | | and the requirement to postulate moderate energy cracks in piping at every | | weld location. The fire protection system in question is low pressure, low | | temperature. This review concluded that a moderate energy pipe rupture | | (crack) in the fire protection system piping could lead to a loss of the | | vital 4160 volt bus 2ETA. A concurrent single failure of the opposite | | train vital 4160 volt bus (2ETB) could prevent the fulfillment of safety | | function of systems or structures. UFSAR section 3.6 describes the | | requirements for protection against dynamic effects associated with the | | postulated rupture of piping. Specifically the general design requirements | | for postulated piping breaks other than reactor coolant system requires that | | the design be of a nature that to mitigate the consequences of the break so | | that the reactor can be shutdown safely and eventually maintained in a cold | | shutdown condition. Maintenance has placed a spray deflector on the | | affected area of piping to preclude postulated spray interaction with 2ETA. | | Engineering has reviewed the other safety related 4160 volt bus on Unit 2 | | and both safety related 4160 volt buses on Unit 1 and determined that they | | do not have any spray interaction issues. The root cause of this issue is | | still under investigation. | | | | | | The NRC Resident Inspector, States and local agencies will be notified. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
