EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RADIOGRAPHY SOURCE FAILURE TO RETRACT
The following information was provided by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality via email:
"Today we received a report of an industrial radiography equipment failure which occurred on March 12, 2022. The licensee is Acuren Inspection, Inc. (OK-32148-01). The incident was caused by the failure of the drive cable. Acuren is licensed to perform source recoveries and the source was eventually retracted into the camera safely. The crew's dosimeters have been sent for processing. Pocket dosimeter readings indicate the dose received due to this incident was approximately 135 mR. We will provide details of the equipment involved when we receive them from the licensee."

EN Revision Text: MAIN STEAM ISOLATION VALVE FAILED TO SHUT
The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
"At 0050 EST on 3/12/22, while shutting down for entry into a scheduled refueling outage, the station discovered that a single Main Steam Isolation Valve (4A MSIV) did not fully close on demand. All other equipment operated as expected.
"This condition is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v).
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
"On 3/12/2022 at 0656 EDT Turkey Point Unit 4 notified the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) that a single Main Steam Isolation Valve (MSIV) did not fully close when manually demanded from the control room during shutdown of Unit 4 for a refueling outage. Following disassembly and inspection of the MSIV, Florida Power & Light Engineering identified the cause of the deficiency and determined that the valve would have fully seated under its design accident conditions.
"This notification is a retraction of EN# 55785. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified of this retraction."

EN Revision Text: OFFSITE NOTIFICATION
The following information was provided by the licensee via email:
"At approximately 1045 EST on March 12th, 2022, the New Hanover County Deputy Fire Marshall was notified per State code requirements that the fire suppression system encompassing the Fuel Manufacturing Operation (FMO) was impaired. High winds had caused a tree to fall on a power line. As a result, the electric fire pump was without power. The backup diesel fire pump remained fully operational and available to perform its safety function. Power was restored at approximately 1600 EST on March 12th, 2022, and the Deputy Fire Marshall was notified of system restoration. Because the New Hanover County Deputy Fire Marshall was notified, a concurrent notification to the NRC Operations Center is being made per 10 CFR 70, Appendix A(c)."
The licensee will notify the State and NRC Region II.
