"With D.C. Cook Unit 1 in Mode 1 and 100 percent power and Unit 2 in Mode 4 during a refueling outage, the following emergency diesel generators (EDGs) were declared inoperable due to a discovered design and manufacturing issue involving some of the diesel fuel pumps/injectors in each of the following EDGs:
"Unit 1 CD (Train A) EDG, Unit 2 AB (Train B) EDG, and Unit 2 CD (Train A) EDG
"Due to both Unit 2 EDGs being inoperable, Unit 2 is required to be in Mode 5 by 1300 [EST] on 12/23/16. Unit 1 is required to restore its emergency diesel generator within 14 days (by 2300 [EST] on 1/04/17).
"In connection with both trains of Unit 2 EDGs being inoperable, this is being reported as an 8-hour report pursuant to 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as loss of safety function in connection with mitigating the consequences of an accident.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed."
Unit 1 maintenance will be prioritized over Unit 2 and Unit 2 will most likely proceed to Mode 5.

"The condition reported in ENS 52456 pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) has been evaluated, and determined not to be a loss of safety function in connection with mitigating the consequences of an accident, and is being retracted.
"With D.C.

"Subsequent endurance testing was performed on selected Delivery Valve Holders (DVH), which were the affected components of the diesel fuel pumps/injectors, to evaluate the expected degradation of the DVHs during the EDG mission. This testing determined that the identified design and manufacturing issue would not have prevented the EDGs from performing their intended safety functions. Therefore, all EDGs were OPERABLE and did not result in a loss of safety function in connection with mitigating the consequences of an accident.
"The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this retraction."

| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE - SOURCE UNABLE TO BE RETRIEVED INTO SHIELDED DEVICE
The following report was received from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality via email:
"[On] 05/15/2017, [at] 11:50 [CDT], the Radiation Safety Officer of Team Industrial Services, Inc. called the Radiation Section of LDEQ [Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality] to report a source retrieval that occurred on 05/14/2017 [at approximately] 18:00 [CDT] at the INDORAMA VENTURES OLEFINS Refinery is Sulphur, LA at 4300 Hwy 108, Westlake, LA 70669. The camera was being used on a gridded walkway to radiograph some construction material situated on a tripod. The tripod became unstable causing the material to fall and crimp the guide tube. The source was in the collimator and was unable to be retrieved into the shielded exposure device. A retrieval crew was assembled and they were able to retrieve the source and return it to the shielded position. Two radiographers and a site RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] conducted the retrieval activities. The retrieval process was safely completed at [approximately] 20:30 [CDT] on 05/14/2017.
"A radiography exposure device was a QSA Global Model 880D, S/N D12919 and the source was an AEA Technology Model A424-9. The exposure device was loaded with 85.7 Ci of Ir-192. The guide tube was a 7 ft. tube that utilized a collimator. The exposure device and source were returned to the office for storage until being evaluated. The crimped guide tube was tested for leakage and then sent for disposal. The area was restricted to the public and controlled for the employees of Indorama. The exposures to the retrievers were minimal."
