| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - TWO LOST NUCLEAR GAUGES
The State provided the following information via facsimile:
"On 4/28/05 at about 8:46 am, Pacific Soils Engineering, Inc. notified (Radiologic Health Branch) RHB that two nuclear gauges were stolen from a construction site at Oak Valley Parkway, Beaumont, CA. The stolen nuclear gauges were CPN Model M3 with a S/N M330506989 and M38058248 (each gauge contains Am-241/Be, 50 mCi, and Cs-137, 10 mCi).
"According to [licensee] RSO, the nuclear gauges were stored securely, at about 5:00 pm on 4/27/05, in the steel office trailer located at the construction site. The next day, at about 6:15 am, the technicians found that a break-in occurred and the two nuclear gauges were missing. The chain that secured the nuclear gauges was cut off. The local police and Riverside county environmental health were also notified." |

"TMI Issue Report # 329440 identifies an issue associated with a previously unidentified/unanalyzed Appendix R fire scenario involving multiple high impedance faults. An engineering evaluation has determined that certain safety related power circuits are not protected against multiple high impedance faults, which in combination with a fire in the 305' elevation of the Control Building, could cause a loss of safe shutdown functions from the control room and the remote shutdown panel. An hourly fire-watch has been established in the affected fire zone in the 305' elevation of the Control Building as an interim compensatory measure."
The NRC Resident Inspector will be notified. | |
