CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM INOPERABLE
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
"On January 26, 2025, at 1450 CST, it was discovered that the Control Room Emergency Ventilation Air Conditioning (CREVAC) system was inoperable. Due to this inoperability, the system was in a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function, and therefore, this condition is being reported as an eight-hour non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The CREVAC system is a single train system.
"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST SOURCE
The following information was received from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (the Department) via email:
"On January 22, 2025, the Department received a telephone notification that the licensee was unable to locate a vial containing (as of January 1, 2025) 167 microcuries of cesium-137. The source was transferred to the licensee's possession with the return of a leased positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) coach on January 25, 2024 and was stored on the coach. The licensee subsequently decommissioned and sold the coach and believed they had removed the source as part of the decommissioning. On January 10, 2025, the licensee's radiation safety officer observed that the source was not listed on inventory records. The licensee contacted the transferor of the source, the new purchaser of the vehicle, and searched their facility. Neither the licensee, transferor, nor the transferee could locate the source. On January 20, 2025, the licensee declared the source lost.
"The Department performed a reactive inspection on February 7, 2025. The vial source is an Eckert and Ziegler model RV-137-200U with serial number 1896-16-16 and contained 201 microcuries at manufacture on January 1, 2017."
WI Event Report ID No: WI250001.
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.

OFFSITE NOTIFICATION DUE TO WASTE WATER DISCHARGE
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
"On January 25, 2025, at 1707 CST, River Bend Station performed a notification to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality per the Louisiana Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (LPDES) permit (LA0042731) due to a wastewater leak. The wastewater leak originated at a sewage lift pump station and resulted in an unauthorized discharge. This notification is being made as a four-hour, non-emergency report for notification to other government agency in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi). There was no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.
