"On February 19, 2013, at approximately 1303 EST, the control room was notified that a supplemental worker (i.e., a contract individual) had fallen and was injured. The worker was in a contaminated area.
"Due to the individual's condition, the individual was not surveyed by a Health Physics technician prior to being transported in their anti-contamination clothing. The individual was transported by ambulance accompanied by Health Physics personnel to the local hospital for medical treatment (i.e., TriPoint Medical Center). Subsequently, the worker was declared deceased at the hospital.
"This notification is being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xii) and 50.72(b)(2)(xi). Additionally, OSHA was notified pursuant to the requirements of 29 CFR 1904.39. The Lake County Coroner was also notified.

"After securing the Unit 1 HPCI turbine from service following a planned pump, valve, and flow surveillance test an oil leak of approximately 1 pint per minute developed. The oil leak was stopped by securing the auxiliary oil pump for the HPCI system.
"There was no loss of oil pressure while the HPCI turbine was operating. This issue has caused the Unit 1 HPCI system to be declared inoperable and unavailable. Per LGS [Limerick Generating Station] Unit 1 Technical Specifications section 3.5.1, the HPCI system must be restored to operable status within 14 days.
"The cause of the oil leak is being investigated."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * UPDATE FROM DANIEL WILLIAMSON TO DONALD NORWOOD AT 1510 EDT ON MARCH 21, 2013 * * *
"UNIT 1 HPCI has been restored to operable status following repairs and post-maintenance testing at 1300 EDT on March 21, 2013."
The licensee changed the reporting requirement from 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(ii)(A) to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v((D).
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified R1DO (Trapp). |

"This is a non-emergency notification. At approximately 0507 EDT on March 18, 2013, radiation monitor RM-01TV-3536-1, Turbine Vent Stack Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) was declared inoperable for pre-planned corrective maintenance. Compensatory actions were put in place to sample per the requirements of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) and the duration of the maintenance was originally not expected to take longer than 72 hours. This event is now reportable because the planned equipment outage exceeded 72 hours.
"This radiation monitor is necessary for accident assessment and is credited for Emergency Action Level (EAL) classification in the Harris Nuclear Plant Emergency Plan. Inability to classify an EAL due to an out of service monitor is considered a loss of accident assessment capability and is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) as described in NUREG-1022, Rev. 2. This condition does not affect the health or safety of the public or the operation of the facility. Compensatory actions remain in place to sample per requirements of ODCM.
"The NRC Resident Inspectors have been notified." | |
