| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3" level of radioactive material. | Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The following report was received from the State of Texas via email:
"On October 9, 2013 at approximately 1445 CDT, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] received notice by phone that the licensee had lost a Troxler 3430 (sn 28350) moisture/density gauge near the Donna International Bridge near Donna, Texas. The sources contained within are an 8 mCi Cs-137 source (QSA Global X1218 sn 7502362) and a 40 mCi Am-241/Be source (QSA Global AX1 X.1 X.1/2 sn 47-25061). The gauge had been left on a tailgate out of its transport container when the truck left the temporary job site at approximately 0930 CDT. Upon reaching the first light in town approximately 5 miles away, the driver/technician noticed the down tailgate and missing gauge. A search is still underway."
Texas Report # I 9123
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.

"At 0809 PDT on 10/10/2013, after starting Standby Service Water (SW) pumps, Columbia Generating Station (Columbia) received a flow low alarm for the Low Pressure Containment Spray (LPCS) pump motor cooling water. The flow indicator SW-FIS-19 was reported too low to support pump function. The LPCS system was declared inoperable, and the appropriate Technical Specification action statement was entered. The cause of the low flow alarm has not been determined. This event is reportable under criterion 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) 'Any Event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to (D) Mitigate the consequences of an accident.'
"Columbia is continuing to troubleshoot and repair as appropriate to restore the SW flow to the LPCS pump.
"The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector."
* * * UPDATE ON 10/11/13 AT 1653 EDT FROM MATT HUMMER TO DONG PARK * * *
"Subsequent to receipt of the low flow alarm, flushing of the flow indicating switch sensing lines was conducted. It has been determined that the instrument sensing lines are partially blocked providing a flow indication that is slow to respond to actual flow conditions. The flow is currently reading normally. The LPCS pump was declared operable on 10/10/13 at 1447 PDT. The initial notification incorrectly stated 'Low Pressure Containment Spray (LPCS)', the correct description is 'Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS)'."

"Subsequent evaluation of this event found there was no actual low flow condition to the LPCS bearing cooler. A flow scan on the SW outlet line from the LPCS pump bearing cooler was conducted on 10/12/13 which confirmed the actual flow conditions were reading normally. The problem resides in the installed flow indication switch. Since there was no actual low flow condition to the LPCS bearing cooler, the LPCS pump could perform its safety function to mitigate an accident. Therefore, this event notification is being retracted."

The following was received from the State of Colorado via email:
"CDPHE [Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment] received telephone notification on 10/11/13 at approximately 2:00 p.m. of a deceased patient who had been administered 150 mCi of I-131 approximately 10-14 hours prior to his death. A male patient, 35 years of age, was administered 150 mCi of I-131 at St. Mary's Hospital and Medical Center on Wednesday October 9, 2013. The RSO at St. Mary's was notified on Thursday that the patient had passed at some point in the night of the 9th. County EMTs as well as staff from the county coroner's office were called to the scene and examined the body prior to the confirmation of death and the transport of the body to the Montrose Memorial Hospital in Montrose, Colorado.
"Section 7.22 of the Colorado Regulations require that the licensee shall notify the Department [Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment] by telephone immediately upon discovery that a patient or human research subject containing radioactive material has died, and it is possible that any individual could receive exposures in excess of 4.14 as a result of the deceased's body.
"At this time, the licensee has consulted with and performed contamination surveys of all of the members of the public who have come into contact with the deceased and has situated the body in a secluded portion of the morgue with lead aprons to reduce any potential exposure. The preliminary estimates on dose indicate that the highest dose would have been to the driver of the vehicle which was used to move the body and that dose is estimated to be 30 mrem. The pathology staff at the hospital would like to perform an autopsy since the patient was 35 years of age and was not expected to pass based on medical history.
"The Department [Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment] will keep communications open as details of the autopsy schedule are finalized and provide guidance on best practices and ALARA techniques for handling of the body.
"The licensee will submit a written report with more detail within thirty days. No other details are available at this time." |

"A review of industry operating experience regarding the impact of unfused Direct Current (DC) ammeter circuits in the control room has determined the described condition to be applicable to the Perry Nuclear Power Plant resulting in a potentially unanalyzed condition with respect to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R analysis requirements. The original plant wiring design and associated analysis for the Class 1 E batteries control room ampere indications do not include overcurrent protection features to limit the fault current.
"In the postulated event, a fire in the control room could cause one of the ammeter wires to hot short to the ground plane. Simultaneously, it is postulated that the fire causes another DC wire from the opposite polarity on the same battery to also hot short to the ground plane. This could cause a ground loop through the unprotected ammeter wiring. This event could result in excessive current flow (i.e., heating) in the ammeter wiring to the point of causing a secondary fire in the raceway system. The secondary fire could adversely affect safe shutdown equipment and potentially cause the loss of the ability to conduct a safe shutdown as required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix R.
"This condition is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B). Interim compensatory measures (i.e., fire watches) have been implemented for affected areas of the plant.
"The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector."

"At 0830 EDT, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant determined that the following was an unanalyzed condition:
"As a result of recent industry operating experience (OE 305419) regarding the impact of unfused direct current (DC) ammeter circuits in the Control Room, Calvert Cliffs performed a review of ammeter circuitry. The review determined the described condition to be applicable to Calvert Cliffs resulting in an unanalyzed condition with respect to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R analysis requirements. The wiring design for the ammeters contains a shunt in the current flow from each DC battery or charger. The ammeter wiring attached to the shunt does not contain fuses.
"It is postulated that a fire in the Unit 1 Cable Spreading Room could cause one of the ammeter wires to hot short to ground. Concurrently, the fire causes another DC wire from the opposite polarity on the same battery to also short to ground. This would cause a ground loop through the unfused ammeter cable. The potential exists that the cable could heat-up causing a secondary fire in the Unit 2 Cable Spreading Room. The secondary fire could adversely affect safe shutdown equipment and potentially cause the loss of the ability to safely shutdown per 10 CFR 50 Appendix R.
"This condition is reportable as an eight hour ENS report in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as an unanalyzed condition. Compensatory measures (fire watches) have been implemented for affected areas of the plant.

"On Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 0331 hours, with the reactor critical at approximately 1% core thermal power and the mode switch in start-up, a high reactor water level condition resulted in a main turbine trip and a valid Group 1 isolation signal. As a result, the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs) closed.
"The plant was in start-up from a forced outage. The initial plant conditions were reactor pressure at approximately 280 psig with a corresponding reactor coolant temperature for that pressure. Currently reactor pressure and water level are being maintained with the MSIVs closed in normal bands. The reactor is being cooled down in preparation for operation in shutdown cooling. Off-site power is supplying station power from the Start-up Transformer (normal power supply for shutdown operations). All plant systems responded as designed.
