TEXAS AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - POTENTIAL OVER EXPOSURE
The State provided the following information via email:
"Texas Radiation Control received a telephone call from [the licensee's RSO] . The RSO was contacted by Landauer regarding an exposure to a 'film badge' in excess of 1,000 (one thousand) rads.
"The badge was being worn by [name deleted]. His exposure for the previous quarter was 350 millirem and for 2004 he received a total exposure of 290 mR. The badge had been returned for evaluation with 4 other badges, which had no problems with excessive exposure.
"[The individual] only performed four tracer study jobs during the monitoring period and worked with a 34 mCi Ir-192 source. [The RSO] believes the badge was not worn. The licensee will be requesting the exposure be deleted.

AGREEMENT STATE - MEDICAL SOURCES STOLEN
"The theft occurred on June 26, 2005, at approximately 3:20 p.m. [The driver] had taken receipt of the cargo at the airport in Dallas (DFW), Texas, and he made the first delivery at a Cardinal pharmacy in Tyler, Texas. After the first delivery, he proceeded to the next stop, which was about one mile away. When he went to the back of the truck, he noticed that the canopy door had been pried open, but was still locked. When he looked inside, he noticed the box containing products for the Cardinal pharmacy was missing. The driver promptly notified [his] supervisor, who then contacted the Tyler Police and the Tyler Fire Department. The driver was personally interviewed that day by [Tradewind Enterprises - the shipper] and the Tyler Police Department. Efforts were made to locate the missing cargo, but police and the driver have been unable to locate the cargo or identify the person or persons involved in the theft.
"The materials stolen consisted of 6 boxes of sodium iodide capsules [I-123]." The activity in the missing capsules was 6.8 milliCuries."

UNANALYZED CONDITION OF MAINTENANCE BUS TIE BREAKERS
"During review of 10CFR50 Appendix R, III.G.2 compliance, it was discovered that a fire in a divisional switchgear room affecting maintenance tie breakers 64T or 65T, may result in the opposite division diesels [tripping]. The postulated fire could affect cables associated with a maintenance tie breaker which could in turn cause associated bus tie breakers in the opposite division to close (B9, C9, E9, F9). The III.G.2 scenario would also include a Loss of Offsite Power event which would require the [Emergency Diesel Generators] (EDG's) to be running. Postulating multiple hot shorts could result in both 9 breakers in a single division closing and paralleling the EDG's out of synch resulting in potential damage to the EDG's.
"Compensatory action: Eliminated this failure mechanism by racking out the four tie breakers (B9, C9, E9, F9) that could be affected. This does not affect operability of the EDG's."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
