ON-SITE MEDICAL TREATMENT OF A CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUAL
"An employee with a foreign body in his left eye reported to the on-site dispensary this morning. The plant nurse administered first aid and then released the employee to an off-site medical facility for further evaluation. A whole body survey of the employee in his plant clothing was performed. The maximum amount of contamination present was on the employee's boots, 370,667 dpm/100cm2. Prior to leaving the Restricted Area, the employee removed all plant clothing, changed into his personal clothing, and was whole body frisked out of the plant. The employee was free of contamination upon release."
Licensee notified NRC Region II Division of Fuel Facility Inspection personnel.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DAMAGED MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The following was provided by the State of Alabama via facsimile:
"On the morning of May 2, 2014 at approximately 0530 CDT, a CPN model MC-3 moisture density gauge, serial number M30129990, containing 10 millicuries of Cs-137 and 50 millicuries of Am-241:Be was damaged while in use at a temporary job site in Birmingham, Alabama when it was run over by a motorist. The licensee, Dunn Construction, notified the Alabama Office of Radiation Control at 0803 CDT. Dunn Construction is authorized to possess and use radioactive material under their Alabama Radioactive Material License No. 812. The licensee representative stated that the source rod became unattached, but was returned to the shielded position. Radiation levels around the gauge were found to be within the normal range. The gauge was placed back in the transport container and returned to the licensee's facility. The licensee was advised to perform a leak test of the gauge."

PART 21 REPORT - CHECK VALVES WITH MISSING JAM NUTS
The following is a synopsis of information received via facsimile from Flowserve:
Jam nuts were found to be missing on size 4, pressure class 600, normally open, in-line check valves per Flowserve drawing no. 07-45546-01. The valves are used in saturated steam service and must close with a reverse flow of less than 7000 lbs/hr steam at 95 and 1085 psig. The valve operating parts are identified as safety related.
These valves were supplied to both Diablo Canyon and Sequoyah nuclear power plants. Flowserve recommends that all in-service valves be inspected for proper torque and that dual thread staking be provided per revised Flowserve drawings.
