Event Notification Report for March 13, 2017

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - IR-192 SOURCE SHIPPED TO THE WRONG LOCATION

The following information was obtained from the state of Louisiana via email:

"On Friday, March 10, 2017, TEAM Industrial Services, Inc., in Borger, TX expected to receive two Ir-192 radiography camera sources from Source Production & Equipment Co., Inc., in St. Rose, LA. Only one source arrived at TEAM Industrial. The transportation company began a search for the missing source and discovered that the source had been shipped to Portland, OR. The source, 105 Ci of Ir-192 (as of 3/13/17), is enroute to TEAM Industrial in Texas and expected to be there by Thursday 3/16/17. The source was a G-60 source, serial number YC0801, in a SPEC-150, serial number 137."

Louisiana Event Report ID No.: LA170003

*** UPDATE ON 3/21/17 FROM JAMES PATE TO NESTOR MAKRIS ***

The following update was received via email:

"The transportation misplaced source was located and was received by TEAM Industrial on Friday 03/17/2017.

"The source was received at the designated receiving location on Friday 03/17/2017."

Notified R4DO (Drake), ILTAB DO (Davis), and NMSS Events Notification.

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 2" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.

DISCOVERY OF NON-CONFORMING CONDITIONS DURING TORNADO HAZARDS ANALYSIS

"On March 13, 2017, during evaluation of protection for Technical Specification (TS) equipment from the damaging effects of tornados, Callaway Plant identified non-conforming conditions in the plant design such that specific Technical Specification equipment is considered to not be adequately protected from tornado missiles.

"The Emergency Fuel Oil Truck Connection Lines for both redundant Emergency Fuel Oil trains extend through the Plant South wall of the Diesel Generator Building structure where they may be exposed to design bases tornado missile impact. The direct impact by the design basis missile could result in damage to the fuel oil transfer lines, thereby preventing delivery of the fuel supply from the Emergency Fuel Oil buried storage tank to the Fuel Oil Day Tank. This condition affects the fuel supply to both supported Emergency Diesel Generator trains.

"This condition is reportable per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) for any event or condition that results in the nuclear power plant being in an unanalyzed condition that significantly degrades plant safety, and per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v) for 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 (A) Shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, (B) Remove residual heat, or (D) Mitigate the consequences of an accident.

"These conditions are being addressed in accordance with EGM 15-002 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 [enforcement discretion and interim guidance documents].

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

* * * RETRACTION ON 4/18/17 AT 1547 EDT FROM BRANDON LONG TO DONG PARK * * *

"Event Notification EN # 52607, made on 03/13/2017, is being retracted because new information has been obtained that negates the originally reported condition. Specifically, subsequent to the Event Notification, an engineering analysis was performed which confirmed that a design basis missile strike on either of the unprotected truck connection lines would not result in damage to the extent that the affected fuel oil transfer lines would be prevented from delivering the fuel supply from the Emergency Fuel Oil buried storage tank to the Fuel Oil Day Tank. (The analysis showed that although bending / deformation of the lines would occur in response to the postulated missile strike, integrity of the lines would remain.)

"Based on the above, the unanalyzed condition did not prevent the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, remove residual heat, or mitigate the consequences of an accident, nor did it significantly degrade plant safety. Consequently, the condition does not meet the criteria for 8-hour notification that are provided in 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) or 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(A), (B), or (D).

"As the condition does not require enforcement discretion, the provisions of EGM 15-002 and DSS-ISG-2016-01 [enforcement discretion and interim guidance documents] need not be invoked. However, the immediate and long-term compensatory actions that have been taken following discovery of the condition will remain in place until the condition is fully resolved.

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed of this Event Notification retraction."
