EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILS TO FUNCTION
The following report was received from the state of Tennessee via email:
"Power loss site wide at Energy Solutions. Power was restarted by the utility. However, the power at the Radioactive Materials Solutions (RMS) building did not return. As a result, the ventilation system at the RMS building was not functional. The back up generator failed to function under load of ventilation fans. Currently, the RMS building operations have ceased due to loss of power. An area monitor is in place and showing no signs of elevated activity from air monitoring inside of the building. The contractor was contacted to reestablish power to site. Security patrols have been established to monitor quantities of concern. A follow-up report will be submitted to include corrective actions from the licensee."
