EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - UNPLANNED EXPLOSION AND CONTAMINATION The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (Agency) via email: "On 2/19/2025, Agency staff conducted a routine inspection at Hot Shots NM, LLC. At the time of inspection, it was discovered that on 5/28/2024, a pharmacist used a standard hot plate in lieu of a heat block in order to tag 2 curies of Tc-99m to Sestamibi. The heating caused the glass vial to explode, resulting in a major spill. The event resulted in contamination of the clean room and contamination to (2) individual's face and hair. "The matter was discussed the next day [2/20/2025] with supervisory staff, and it was determined that the licensee failed to report the event as required under [32 Illinois Administrative Code] 340.1220(c)4 and likely 340.1220(b)2, both requiring notification to the Agency within 24 hours. This matter is reportable to the U.S. NRC within 24 hours. "Due to a lack of records or licensee evaluation of dose from absorption through skin required under 32 Illinois Administrative Code 340.220(d), there is no current estimate to the amount of occupational exposure to the contaminated workers. Inspectors are actively gathering survey readings, specific activity, and variables that may allow an estimation of potential dose to workers. No workers reported to the hospital as a result of the incident. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as they become available." Illinois Reference Number: IL250009 * * * UPDATE FROM GARY FORSEE TO BRIAN P. SMITH AT 1628 EDT ON JULY 24, 2025 * * * The following update was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (Agency) via email: "After a detailed investigation and multiple reports from the licensee, very few data points were available to bound the shallow dose equivalent (SDE - skin dose) to the two contaminated workers. Working from the data available, the licensee's consultant estimated Individual 1 received 290 mrem skin dose and Individual 2 received between 7090 and 170,290 mrem skin dose. As stated by the licensee's consultant, 'due to the lack of available survey and occupational monitoring records for the duration of the exposure for Individual 2, and the occupational exposure records for the remainder of the calendar year, it is assumed that this individual received an annual SDE of at least the occupational limit of 50,000 mrem. Without further information, the assigned dose for Individual 2 in this event is based on the worst-case scenario of 170,290 mrem, which does not take into account any potential attenuation or air gap as a result of settling on hair'. The only variables available to assist the Agency in a shallow dose equivalent estimate were the 2 curies of Tc-99m contained within the 3.6 milliliter vial, as well as statements from employees noting contamination on skin, neck, and hair up to 8.5 hours post-incident. Initial personnel decontamination efforts were conducted up to 25 minutes after the ruptured vial containing the Tc-99m. Since no survey readings or personnel exposure assessments were documented, the Agency was unable to conclusively determine if an employee received a 50-rem skin dose as a result of this incident. However, given the dose to the skin per microliter per hour (based on the range from two references), and noting contamination was noted on employee's hair, face, and neck even after initial decontamination attempts (decontamination was 25 minutes post incident), and noting the employee continued to work approximately 8.5 hours before completing decontamination; there is a high likelihood this incident 'may have caused, or threatened to cause' a shallow dose equivalent to the skin in excess of 50 rem. No workers reported to the hospital as a result of the incident and there was no evidence of deterministic effects. As a result of the information above, this report is being updated to include a likely occupational exposure in excess of the regulatory limits. Root cause was failure to follow established procedures for large spills. The licensee detailed corrective action including new training and procedures. Pending appropriate enforcement action, this investigation is considered complete." Notified R3DO (Zurawski), NMSS Events Notification, NMSS (Allen)|

EN Revision Text: PART 21 REPORT - SOLENOID VALVE FAILS TO OPERATE AFTER EXTENDED DE-ENERGIZATION The following is a summary of the information provided by ASCO via email: This report relates to the failure of a single air-operated valve identified by Dominion Energy at North Anna due to failure of the associated solenoid valve. The solenoid valve periodically failed to reposition, or only partially repositioned, after periods of extended de-energization. As part of testing, the ASCO NP8321 solenoid valve series and all ASCO NP-series solenoid valves were qualified to sit in a normally energized position and were not tested for extended periods of de-energization. The U-cup seal was tested and ASCO determined that this U-cup seal experienced performance limitations at low air operating pressures (below 40 psi) and the valve did not shift completely to an energized state. An alternative valve (NP8300) is recommended by ASCO for this customer application. In the interim, ASCO recommends increasing the inlet air pressure to the valve to at least 80 psi not to exceed the maximum 150 psi to conservatively ensure proper operation of the NP8321 series valve in a de-energized state. ASCO concludes based on design and known operating experience that only the NP8321 model valve exhibits this condition. ASCO does not have adequate knowledge of the actual installation and operating condition of this valve to determine whether this condition would create a `substantial' safety hazard as defined in 10 CFR 21.3. The report is intended to provide investigation results and recommendations. Each end user needs to perform their own evaluation based on the information provided in this notification. Bryan Causey Quality Engineer Bryan.Causey@Emerson.com The only plant known to be affected at the time of the report is North Anna. * * * UPDATE ON 07/11/2025 AT 0907 EDT FROM BRYAN CAUSEY TO IAN HOWARD * * * The following is a summary of the information provided by ASCO via email: ASCO performed extensive testing on this valve with a variety of U-cup seals and found all U-cup seals used for the NP8321 series have low pressure de-energized dormancy performance limitations. For applications where the valve is at 80 psi, ASCO will be updating guidance to indicate that a minimum pressure rating of 80 psi must be maintained when switching from the de-energized state to the energized state for normally closed valves. For normally open valves, 80 psi must be maintained when switching from the energized state to the de-energized state. ASCO ensures application at or above 80 psi would meet its equipment qualification requirements. For applications between 40 and 80 psi the utility has not observed any low-pressure dormancy issues on valves that have already experienced the applications longest possible period of de-energization, ASCO advises that the valve remain in service for the rest of its equipment life, during this time ASCO recommends looking for an appropriate alternative valve and solution for this system. ASCO recommends an NP8300 or NP8316 valve as a suitable replacement. For applications at or below 40 psi, the utility should consult with ASCO at the earliest opportunity. The NP8300 is a potential replacement for the NP8321 series but it is not a drop-in replacement. The NP8300 series consumes twice the wattage of NP8321 and has a lower flow rate. If the lower flow and higher wattage of the NP8300 are acceptable limitations for the utility's application, then ASCO would recommend a NP8300 valve. If the application requires the same wattage and can manage higher flow, a NP8316 can replace a NP8321 but the higher flow rate may require changes to the specific system in place. The NP8316 does have a lower minimum operating pressure differential of just 10 psi instead of 15 psi, but the flow is several times higher than the NP8321. For this solution to work, the system would need to be tolerant of this higher flow and ensure that the minimum operating pressure differential of 10 psi (measured between in the inlet port and exhaust port) is maintained with appropriate piping/regulators and exhaust pipes capable of ensuring that the minimum pressure is maintained. This could include changing out piping and regulators for larger sized pipes and regulators to match the higher Cv [valve flow coefficient] of the NP8316 series. ASCO concludes that for applications at or above 80 psi, the NP8321 series valve meets its full equipment requirements. For applications below 80 psi, ASCO recommends replacing the value based on the above guidelines. Notified R2DO (Davis) and the Part 21 groups (email).|

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - OVEREXPOSURE The following information was provided by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) via phone and email: "On Friday, June 27, 2025, at 1249 EDT, MDE Program Manager received an email from the radiation safety officer (RSO) at Johns Hopkins University Radiation Control Unit, regarding a radiation overexposure incident involving a declared pregnant worker at the Johns Hopkins Bethesda PET facility. "The RSO reported that a PET technician received the following radiation doses over the past three months: "Fetal dose: 13.149 rem "Whole body dose: 29.966 rem "Extremity (ring) dose: 6329 rem "Following the notification, the MDE contacted the RSO by phone to obtain additional details about the incident. "The RSO explained that the employee's radiation exposure levels remained within acceptable limits until mid-March 2025. At that time, the technician began receiving higher-than-typical doses. The employee was informed when elevated exposure levels were initially observed in April 2025 dosimetry records. "Upon reviewing the May 2025 dosimetry reports, the Radiation Control Office observed that the exposure levels were significantly elevated. As a result, the June 2025 dosimetry was expedited, which confirmed doses exceeding investigation thresholds. The employee was promptly notified of the dose results and was immediately removed from any work involving radioactive materials. The RSO has initiated a root cause investigation and will notify the MDE as required. This communication serves as a preliminary notification; MDE will follow up on the case and will provide further updates as appropriate." The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: The overexposure was limited to one worker as two other workers' dosimetry indicate normal exposures. It is unknown at this time what radiopharmaceutical was involved or if there is an indication of spread of contamination. MDE does plan to perform a reactive inspection. * * * UPDATE ON 6/27/2025 AT 1858 EDT FROM KRISHNAKUMAR NANGEELIL TO SAMUEL COLVARD * * * The following summary of information was provided by the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) via phone and email: The facility and license number is Johns Hopkins Imaging, Bethesda (RAML #31-314-01).

EN Revision Text: RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL COMPLEX PUMP ROOM DAMPER FULLY CLOSED The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email: "On 7/7/2025 at 1545 EDT, one of the division 2 residual heat removal (RHR) complex pump room dampers was noted to be full-closed instead of at the expected full-open position based on outside air temperatures. An operator walkdown confirmed that the division 2 RHR pump room temperature controller was attempting to open the damper. Per plant procedures, the affected RHR service water (RHRSW), emergency equipment service water (EESW), and emergency diesel generator service water pumps (DGSW) were declared inoperable. Division 2 EESW supports the safety function for all division 2 safety systems, including high pressure coolant injection (HPCI). Therefore, HPCI was also declared inoperable. Since HPCI is a single-train safety system, this meets the criterion for event notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). The damper will be blocked to the position required based on current and projected outside air temperature, this will return the systems to operable. The cause of the damper failure is unknown and under investigation." The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Multiple technical specification limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) were entered as a result of this event. Fermi Unit 2 expects to be able to exit the LCOs within the required timeframes. * * * RETRACTION FROM JOSH MORSE TO BRIAN P. SMITH AT 1616 EDT ON JULY 22, 2025 * * * The following retraction was provided by the licensee via phone and email: "Following the initial event notification, further analysis of the condition identified that since the residual heat removal complex room temperature (85 degrees F) was less than the limit bounded by a calculation (<104 degrees F), and the dampers were blocked in a position in accordance with plant procedures within 24 hours of the event, there is reasonable assurance that the high pressure coolant injection (HPCI) system would be able to perform its safety function. Therefore, HPCI is considered operable for the condition. "No other concerns were noted during the event. HPCI remained operable and there was no loss of safety function. The event did not involve a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of the safety function of structures or systems that are needed to mitigate the consequences of an accident under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D). "Therefore, the NRC non-emergency 10CFR50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) report was not required and the NRC event report 57804 can be retracted and no licensee event report under 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(v)(D) is required to be submitted."

The source was being removed from a nuclear gauge down hole probe. Once the source was removed from the probe, it was immediately leak tested. Two leak tests were performed and both readings pegged at full scale on the licensee's GM Pancake Survey Meter. The area was immediately cleared and one individual (the person conducting the source removal) was found to have contamination on their hands at 6000 CPM and 3500 CPM on portions of their clothes. This person was immediately decontaminated and a follow-up urine bioassay revealed less than minimum detectable levels. No other employees were contaminated, and the source was secured, awaiting disposal via a radioactive waste broker. Additional surveys of the work area revealed areas that required decontamination. The area was secured from entry and is awaiting decontamination by an outside vendor." North Carolina Event Number: 250009|

It was determined the sources had been at that car repossession lot since sometime in October of 2024 and remained there until March 27, 2025, at which time GFD Hazmat recovered them and handed them off to EPD. The original activity was 1.49 mCi per source. The estimated decayed value was 0.05 mCi at the time of discovery and 0.04 mCi to date. The manufacturer confirmed the shipping location (GA 1490-1) and date of the source with a serial number. "The licensee responded with disposal records to Sanders Medical (Tennessee licensed facility). Sanders was able to confirm receipt of the material on April 15, 2025. It was determined the serial numbers listed on the lead pigs did not match the serial number of the enclosed sources. "On April 15, 2025, GA 2047-1 (Training Facility) gained possession of the found sources. The manufacturer (EZ) confirmed the same shipment location and licensee with the accurate serial numbers. After several attempts to reach out to Sanders, for confirmation of receipt, the State of Georgia could not get a response until July 15, 2025. At that time, a staff member from Sanders confirmed they did not receive, nor have they ever received the two sources. "The licensee was unable to provide disposal records for the sources, although routinely uses Sanders for disposal services. The licensee received a notice of violation on July 23, 2025." Georgia Incident Number: 102 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.

The limit switches were dedicated by CW and shipped on 2/28/2025 to Xcel Energy. The switches failed a bench test performed by Xcel Energy, which aimed to verify that the contacts properly revert to their original state during spring return. Xcel Energy found that the contacts reverted to their original state prior to the audible click/snap, which is supposed to indicate contact changeover. The two units were returned to Curtiss-Wright on 5/29/2025. The test result was fully duplicated on one of the switches. For the other switch (serial number 04), the switch contacts intermittently failed to return to the original state at all, requiring manual assistance to do so. On 6/26/2025, CW sent the parts to NAMCO for repair. CW retested the parts after the repair. Part 04 still had the same issue with failing to reset as noted earlier. That limit switch was returned to NAMCO for a full evaluation. CW anticipates an update to this notification with final results on 9/23/2025. Potentially affected U.S. nuclear power plants: unknown at the time of the notification.

EN Revision Text: BOTH TRAINS OF CONTROL ROOM AIR CONDITIONING INOPERABLE The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and fax: At 2324 CDT, on July 28, 2025, control room air conditioning (CRAC) 'B' tripped at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS) approximately 5 minutes after loading the compressor by adjusting the thermostat [down] per standby service water quarterly surveillance instructions. CRAC 'A' was manually started at 2326 CDT and at 2329 CDT it subsequently tripped. After investigating the compressors and breakers per the alarm response instructions with no abnormal indications, CRAC 'B' was restarted and tripped again. Cooling water was rotated from plant service water to standby service water and CRAC 'A' was successfully restarted at 2358 CDT and remains in service. While both control room air conditioning subsystems were inoperable GGNS entered technical specification limiting condition of operation (LCO) 3.7.4 condition 'B', actions requiring verification of control room temperatures less than 90 degrees F and restoring one subsystem to operable status in 7 days. Control room temperatures reached 79 degrees F, maximum, before CRAC 'A' was restarted. GGNS has exited condition 'B' in LCO 3.7.4 and entered condition 'A' to restore CRAC 'B' in 30 days. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(D) as an event or condition which could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. * * * RETRACTION FROM JEFFERY HARDY TO SAMUEL COLVARD AT 1648 EDT ON 07/30/2025 * * * "Investigation of the cause of the control room air conditioning (CRAC) `A' and `B' trips identified a plant service water / standby service water (SSW) crosstie valve which failed in its safety-related (closed) position as the cause. In an accident or transient, cooling water to CRAC `A' compressors would have been successfully provided by the safety-related SSW. As a result, CRAC `A' remained capable of fulfilling its safety function to maintain the control room environment less than 90 degrees F. "The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified of this retraction." Notified R4DO (Drake). |

This ventilation system failure resulted in the degradation of reactor building differential pressure and at 2200 CDT the differential pressure exceeded the technical specification limit, resulting in the inoperability of Secondary Containment. This condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(v). Failure of the ventilation system also resulted in elevated temperatures in the steam chase area of the plant. Operators reduced power to slow the temperature rise, however, at 2324 CDT on 7/28/2025 with Unit 1 in mode 1 at 41 percent power, the reactor was manually scrammed due to steam chase temperatures reaching the procedural limit. The scram was not complex, with all systems responding normally post-scram. Reactor water level is being maintained via the feedwater system. Decay heat is being removed by discharging steam to the main condenser using the turbine bypass valves. This condition is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(2)(iv)(B). There has been no impact to the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified. The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance: Steam chase temperature has begun to lower, and the licensee intends to cooldown to mode 4 for maintenance. |

"Cook Nuclear Plant completed an internal evaluation concerning an issue with an emergency diesel generator (EDG) voltage regulator (VR) supplied by Paragon Energy Solutions, LLC. An issue was identified during a surveillance test conducted on April 22, 2025, concerning a thermal overload (TOL) for the VR which spuriously trips causing a condition where the EDG VR can no longer control the generator voltage, resulting in the inability of the EDG to supply automatic onsite emergency AC power. A failure analysis was completed on June 6, 2025, determined that the cause of the spurious trips is associated with a heater dimensional tolerance deficiency lowering the activation threshold of the TOL bimetallic strip and a workmanship deficiency associated with a braided control wire restricting the movement of the TOL pressure bar. Extent of condition examinations were performed and one additional TOL was found to be impacted. The two impacted TOLs have been replaced. A written notification will be provided within 30 days."

This event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). "Actuation of the auxiliary feedwater [system] occurred during the reactor trip response. The cause of the auxiliary feedwater auto-start was a LO-2 steam generator water level. The 1A and 1B auxiliary feedwater pumps started as designed when the LO-2 steam generator water level signal was received. This event is being reported in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) as an event that results in a valid actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system. Operators responded using procedures 1BwEP-0 and 1BwEP ES-0.1 to stabilize the unit in mode 3. "Decay heat is being removed by discharging steam to the main condenser using the main steam dump valves. Unit 2 is not affected. All systems responded as expected with the exception of steam pressure channel 1Pl-545A and steam flow channel 1Fl-523A, which both failed high during the lightning storm and subsequent transient.

"On May 30, 2025, during de-inerting of the Unit 2 drywell for a forced outage, Unit 2 received a partial primary containment isolation system (PCIS) group 6 isolation. Additionally, standby gas treatment system (SGT) trains `B' and `C' auto started. "Plant conditions which initiate PCIS group 6 and SGT actuations are reactor vessel low water level (Level 3), high drywell pressure, or reactor building ventilation exhaust high radiation (reactor zone or refuel zone). At the time of the event, these conditions did not exist; therefore, the actuation of the PCIS and SGT was invalid. "Upon investigation, a fuse was found to have failed as a result of a hot spot due to a corroded lug, which was the cause of the isolation.
