AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The following was received from the state of Alabama via fax:
"On March 20, 2019 at approximately 0800 [CDT], [an individual] of Alabama licensee TTL, lnc. notified the Alabama Office of Radiation Control [Agency] that gauge make and model Troxler 3440P was stolen from a technician's vehicle between approximately 2000 [CDT] March 19, and 0500 [CDT] March 20, 2019. The technician was working at a temporary job site in Auburn, AL, and the truck parked in the hotel parking lot. [The individual] reported that the technician stored the gauge in a gauge box; the gauge box was appropriately secured to the truck bed. The technician reported the theft to the local police department before contacting the Agency. The Agency has no further information regarding the whereabouts of this gauge as of today, March 21, 2019.
"TTL, Inc. is authorized to possess gauges under Alabama license 512. The stolen gauge is identified as Troxler model 3440P [serial number] 72314, with maximum source activities of 10 mCi Cs-137 and 50 mCi Am/Be-241."
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.

HIGH PRESSURE COOLANT INJECTION SYSTEM INOPERABLE
"At 0140 [EDT] on 03/19/2019, while the unit was at approximately 1% power and 154 psig pressure in MODE 2, it was discovered that Unit 2 High Pressure Coolant Injection (HPCI) was INOPERABLE. HPCI does not have a redundant system, therefore, this condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v).
"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
Unit 2 entered LCO 3.5.1.c for the HPCI being inoperable.
There is no effect on Unit 1.
