EXTERNAL RADIATION ON RECEIVED PACKAGE GREATER THAN LIMITS
The following summary was provided by the licensee via phone:
On May 4, 2023 at 1145 EDT, the licensee found contact dose rates of 215 and 555 millirem-per-hour at 2 separate spots on the top of an exclusive use package during receipt survey. These dose rates are above the 200 millirem-per-hour allowable. No loose surface contamination was identified. The package contains tools from Holtec and was intact on delivery. The package has subsequently been secured in a locked radiation storage building. No overexposure or unauthorized exposure resulted to plant personnel. The licensee suspects shielding, internal to the package, may have shifted and the licensee will investigate further. Dose rates at one foot from the package were recorded at 65 millirem per hour.

LOSS OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS CAPABILITIES
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
"At 1455 [EST] on Tuesday May 9, 2023, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) technical support center (TSC) ventilation system lost power. Power loss was caused by a tree down on the 361 transmission line. Power was not able to be restored within an hour. At 1639 [EST], power was restored to TSC ventilation, and capability was restored.
"This report is being submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) as a major loss of emergency preparedness capabilities due to a reduction in the effectiveness of the onsite TSC.
