| Event Text PART 21- POTENTIAL DEFECT IN A SOCKET USED SEPARATELY OR IN A CONNECTOR KIT
The following information was received by facsimile:
"[The Curtiss-Wright] letter is issued to provide notification of a potential defect in Socket (PIN: GB-1 A-5) sold separately or supplied as part of a GRAYBOOT 'A'' (GB-1A) Connector Kit. There is one affected lot of Sockets (Lot#: 092413). The potential defect is that the socket was not zone annealed which will possibly affect the ability to crimp the socket onto the wire conductor. Zone annealing is specified for the crimp barrel to return the crimp barrel to a soft condition to counteract the effects of previous heat treating required to develop spring tension in the socket tines that mate with the pin contact.
"The nine affected Customers and their associated Purchase Orders are listed below. All Customers will be notified by February 24, 2015 and supplied with the information we have at this time.
1. Vattenfall- Forsmark Kraftgrupp AB, P.O. 4500301916

9. Meggitt Safety Systems Inc., P.O. 104345
"Based on our recent in-house testing of socket Lot #: 092413, the defective sockets appear to be more difficult to crimp than sockets that have been zone annealed. Some of the Lot #: 092413 sockets showed cracking or bending under magnification. We did not have any sockets actually break apart during the crimping process. All the test specimens crimp barrels remained intact. If a severe fracture had occurred at the time of crimping we believe it would have been very noticeable to the technician installing the contact. Once crimped, the socket appears to function well by conducting electricity and exhibiting acceptable electrical resistance. Many of these sockets from Lot #: 092413 may already be installed. Customers will need to determine if replacing the sockets is required.
"All customers listed may choose to replace already installed sockets. It is requested that any uninstalled sockets be returned for replacement. All customers requesting replacement sockets should contact Bambi Rhoades at brhoades@curtisswright.com or by phone at 256-924-7424 for arrangements or Jim Tumlinson, contact information listed below.
"Send all defective sockets to QualTech NP; 120 West Park Loop; Huntsville, AL 35806. Customer can contact Cindy Tidwell at ctidwell@curtisswright.com or by phone at (256) 924-7436 for help with international or freight collect shipping instructions. Ship all defective sockets collect to UPS Account No. 35254E.
"Additional details, corrective actions and root causes will be provided once our report of the recent testing complete. If you require additional information or would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate in contacting [Jim Tomlinson; Office Phone: (256) 924-7429; email:jtomlinson@curtisswright.com]."

The following report was received via e-mail:
"On November 13, 2015, a licensee notified the Agency that one its radiographers had an overexposure. The licensee stated the radiographer cranked out the source and waited the time for the shot, then thought he cranked the source back into the camera. When he went to retrieve the film, the radiographer noticed his survey metered was pegged off scale. He immediately went back to the truck and checked his pocket dosimeter and it was off scale also. He picked up the crank and retracted the source. He checked the area with the survey meter and the radiation level had dropped. He informed his supervisor that night and the corporate radiation safety officer had the radiographers monitoring badge sent off for processing. The badge reading was DDE [Deep Dose Equivalent] of 11,453 mRem and LDE [Lens of the eye Dose Equivalent] 11,494 mRem. The radiographer is being interviewed of the details of the incident and a detailed report will be provided. The radiographer has not had any health effects at this time nor are any expected."
This incident occurred on 11/11/2015 at a job site in Pecos, TX.

The following was received from the State of North Dakota via email:
"Taney Engineering, Inc. (Taney) reported the loss of a moisture/density gauge (Troxler Model No. 3430, Serial No. 30530) that contained a 1.48GBq (40mCi) Am-241:Be source (Serial No. 47-27626) and a 0.3 GBq (8 mCi) Cs-137 source (Serial No. 77-13400) currently licensed under North Dakota Department of Health License No. 33-53306-01. This event was initially reported to the Minot, North Dakota Police Department at 11:54 P.M. on Sunday, 11/15/2015. At that time, the field inspector noticed the Troxler nuclear density gauge designated above to be missing from the bed of his truck at the end of the day. The field inspector stated the nuclear density gauge was in the yellow transport box secured in the bed of his truck with chains and locks to both side handles and locks on the transport case when he stopped at Wal-Mart located at 3900 S Broadway St., Minot, ND 58701. When he returned from the store, the equipment was still secure in the bed of his truck. He drove to Buffalo Wild Wings in the adjoining parking lot located at 3820 S Broadway St., Minot, ND 58701 at approximately 11:35 P.M. He placed an order for take-out and waited for food inside. He arrived home in Minot, ND 58701 before 11:50 P.M. to drop off groceries before checking in the nuclear gauge and discovered company equipment, including the gauge, missing from the back of his truck. He immediately notified the Minot Police Department, filed incident report No. 2015-00036173. He then notified Troxler Electronic Laboratories at 877-876-9537. He than notified Taney."
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 0820 EST on 11/23/2015, Sequoyah Unit 1 was at 100% power when operators identified the Loop #3 Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) came off its full open seat. This was evidenced by no OPEN indication on the main control board, dual indication on the post accident monitoring panel, and a change in both Tavg and steam pressure. Operators were dispatched locally to the MSIV and to the battery board room to investigate if a cause could be identified for the MSIV movement. The field investigation identified no issues. The operating crew manually tripped the reactor at 0844 EST due to an increasing Tavg-Tref mismatch.
"Following the reactor trip, all safety-related equipment operated as designed. Auxiliary Feedwater automatically initiated as expected from the feedwater isolation signal.
"Unit 1 is currently being maintained in Mode 3 at normal operating temperature and pressure, approximately 547 degrees F and 2235 psig, with auxiliary feedwater supplying the steam generators and decay heat removal via the condenser steam dumps.
"There is no indication of any primary to secondary leakage. All control rods fully inserted on the reactor trip and remain inserted. The electrical alignment is normal with shutdown power supplied from off-site power. There is no operational impact to Unit 2 as it continues through the refueling outage with the core off-loaded.
"There was no impact on public health and safety. Post-trip investigation is in progress and planned restart timeline has not yet been determined.
"The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector."
All control rods fully inserted during the reactor trip. The atmospheric steam dumps did operate during the transient and then shut. After the trip, the MSIV re-opened. |

"At 1040 CST, with the plant at 100% power, a lockout of the 11 recirculation pump occurred. Following the 11 recirculation pump lockout, at 1041 CST, a reactor scram and a Group 1 isolation occurred. All Main Steam Isolation Valves closed as a result of the Group 1 isolation signal. HPCI [High Pressure Core Injection] has been placed in service to control RPV [Reactor Pressure Vessel] pressure. HPCI did not inject into the RPV and was not needed to control RPV level.
"At 1104 CST, a Group 2 containment isolation signal was received due to RPV level less than +9 inches. The Group 2 isolation signal has been reset.
"The cause(s) of the 11 recirculation pump lockout, the reactor scram, and the Group 1 isolation are currently not known and are under investigation.
"This event is being reported under 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) due to the actuation of the Reactor Protection System when the reactor is critical.
"For the following reasons, this event is also being reported under 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A):
1) This event resulted in a valid Group 2 containment isolation signal,
2) Since the cause of the Reactor Protection System actuation is not known, the event is being reported as a valid actuation of the Reactor Protection System, and
3) Since the cause of the Group 1 isolation is not known, the event is being reported as a valid primary containment isolation signal affecting multiple Main Steam Isolation Valves.
"All systems have responded as expected, all control rods fully inserted following the Reactor Protection System actuation. The plant is currently shutdown in mode 3, RPV pressure and RPV level are stable. This event did not result in any radiological release from the plant. This event did not challenge the health and safety of the public.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The plant is in its normal shutdown electrical lineup. HPCI is in pressure suppression mode with RHR cooling the suppression pool. |
