| Event Text DAMAGED/MISSING DENSITY GAUGE AT DEMOLITION SITE
The licensee reported a damaged/missing Humboldt Density Gauge at a demolition site located in East Orange, New Jersey near the intersection of Gould Avenue and Steuben Street. The gauge was a model HS-5001 with a serial number of 2822. The source contains less than 11 millicuries of Cs-137 and less than 44 millicuries of Am-241:Be. Only the gauge faceplate was found and no other parts including the radioactive source. The licensee performed a radiological survey and did not detect any levels greater than background. The licensee started interviews to determine what happened and where the remaining parts are located. The licensee notified the NRC Region I office on 2/9/04 and two NRC inspectors were arriving onsite at the time of this report. |

At approximately 10:20 AM on 2/10104 it was reported to the St. Lucie plant site that there were problems with the phone lines at the St. Lucie Emergency Off-Site Facility (EOF). Site personnel went to the facility and determined that the primary methods for NRC (Emergency Notification System-ENS) and State (Hat Ring Down-HRD) notification and most of the commercial phone lines were not functioning. However, backup methods for NRC and State notification including 3 commercial phone lines remain functional at the Emergency Off-Site Facility. There was no effect on site communication capability. The event appears to be due to work by the local phone company which severed a fiber optic transmission cable in the vicinity of the Emergency Operating Facility. The telephone company is currently working to restore normal communications capability.
This eight (8) hr. phone notification is being made pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(xiii) due to significant loss of portions of the off-site notifications system.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * UPDATE ON 02/10/04 BY JOE HESSLING TO C GOULD * * *
All phone lines restored as of 2230 EDT to the EOF.
The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified.
