| Event Text RADIOGRAPHER LOST FILM BADGE IN VAULT
"On April 11, 2017 our Radiographic Supervisor dropped his film badge within the exposure vault after the clip had broken. [The individual] was not in the exposure vault during any exposure but his badge will reflect an exposure. His badge has been sent for processing this afternoon. [The individual] was working with another radiographer and their exposure amounts for this day should be comparable as to estimating his true daily exposure amount."

"The inappropriate addition of chlorinated water from container box desiccants into the CRDMs [Control Rod Drive Mechanisms] during leak testing after rebuild could potentially initiate Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) or Transgranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (TGSCC). These two types of SCC could cause a separation of the stop piston or separation of the index tube contained within the CRDM. The stop piston separation could cause a slower scram speed and damage the drive so it could not be withdrawn. An index tube separation could result in a similar type of rod uncoupling event that would have the potential to result in a rod drop accident (RDA). The piston tube located within the CRDM is a reactor coolant pressure boundary (RCPB) and is an ASME component. There is a possibility of cracking causing a RCPB leak. SCC initiation on the Cylinder Tube and Flange (CTF) area of the CRDM could result in a separation that could prevent a scram or normal insertion of a CRDM.
"Reports have been issued to River Bend, LaSalle Unit 2, and Hatch Unit 2 providing the results of an evaluation that concludes that the condition will not create a substantial safety hazard or potentially cause a Technical Specification Safety Limit violation for a minimum of one operating cycle. The Browns Ferry Unit 2 drives were shipped but were not installed prior to recall, thus a short-term evaluation for Browns Ferry has not been completed.
