CONCURRENT REPORT FOR DEGRADED HEPA FILTER
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
"This concurrent report is being made because a HEPA filter on a scrap recovery line had degraded below the efficiency that would allow it to remain in service (76.85 percent versus 99.95 percent). This condition is reportable to the Washington Department of Health in accordance with Radioactive Air Emissions License (RAEL) 038. The scrap recovery line has been shut down pending further investigation into the cause of the loss of filter efficiency. Investigation has revealed that no limits were exceeded and no additional reporting is required."
