SAFETY PARAMETER DISPLAY SYSTEM AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA SYSTEM OUT OF SERVICE
"Beginning at approximately 1100 hours EDT on May 10, 2012, plant personnel will be taking the plant integrated computer system (ICS) out-of-service for planned maintenance. During the time ICS is out-of-service, the Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS), the Emergency Response Data System (ERDS), and the automatic mode calculation of the Computer Aided Dose Assessment Program (CADAP) will be unavailable. The computer outage is scheduled for two hours.
"In the event of an emergency, plant parameter data will be orally transmitted to the facilities through the Status Board Ring Down circuit with back-up by the Private Branch Exchange, Off Premise Exchange, and various redundant intrafacility circuits throughout the emergency facilities. The dose assessment function will be maintained during the out-of-service time period by manual input of data into CADAP and, if required, by manual
calculation. The ability to open and maintain an 'open line' using the Emergency Notification System will not be affected and will be the primary means of transferring plant data to the NRC as a contingency until the ERDS can be returned to service.
"This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). A follow-up notification will be made when the maintenance activities are completed and the equipment is restored. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
* * * UPDATE AT 1245 EDT ON 5/10/12 FROM MORSE TO HUFFMAN * * *
The maintenance activities were completed as scheduled and the integrated computer system and associated systems SPDS, ERDS and CADAP has been returned to service as of 1238 EDT.
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. R3DO (Giessner) notified.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - SOURCE SHUTTER NOT FULLY CLOSING
The following information was received by e-mail:
"Licensee notified DRH [Mississippi Department of Radiological Health] about a Ronan X92 Continuous Level Gauge, Serial No. 9479GG with source Holder Model SA1-F37. Licensee suspects the source shutter may not be closing 100% due to elevated readings of 7 mR/hr with the shutter in the closed position."
* * * RETRACTION FROM JASON MOAK TO PETE SNYDER ON 6/26/12 AT 1558 EDT * * *
This report is retracted based on the fact that the gauge "did not fail to function as designed. No maintenance was performed on the gauge. The service representative did not find a problem with the gauge shutter or radiation fields."
Notified R4DO (Clark), FSME (e-mail).
Mississippi Incident Number: MS-12002
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf
Note: This device is assigned an IAEA Category 3 value based on the actual radioactivity of the source, not on the device type. (Reference IAEA RG-G-1.9)

UNPLANNED MEDICAL TREATMENT OF WORKER
"On 05/10/12, approximately at 1020 CDT, a person working in the Feed Materials Building injured his foot while drumming off green salt. The employee received first aid treatment in the on-site dispensary. The individual was found to have contamination on his plant coveralls and boots. The employee was decontaminated and transported to an off-site medical facility. The employee was appropriately exit monitored and there was no detectable contamination on the employee when he left the site. Contamination on the employees right boot was 26,664 dpm/100cm2."
The chemical was Uranium Ore Concentrate.
The licensee has notified NRC Region 2 (Richard Gibson).
