Subject:

Report of Investigation Pursuant to 10 CFR 20, Appendix G Crystal River 3 Nuclear Power Station Docket Number 50-302 License Number DPR-72

Dear Sir or Madam,

This letter documents the results of an investigation performed with respect to the transportation of 4 shipments in rail cars, 2 containing UN3321 LSA-11 materials, 1 containing UN2912 LSA-1 materials and 1 containing Exempt materials which exceeded the 45 day time limit for notification of receipt from the disposal facility as specified in 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix G, as exempted. The investigation, which was completed on January 8, 2024, determined that the railroad logistics contractor, I.C.E Service Group, traced the shipments on a daily basis. The disposal facility, Waste Control Specialists (WCS), and the Crystal River 3 waste operations personnel received daily updates from the various carriers such as Florida Northern Railroad (FNR), CSX Transportation (CSXT), Texas-New Mexico Railroad (TXN) and Union Pacific (UP).

10 CFR 20, Appendix G, "Requirements for Transfers of Low-Level Radioactive Waste Intended for Disposal at Licensed Land Disposal Facilities and Manifests," Section 111.A(9) states for any shipments or any part of a shipment for which acknowledgment of receipt has not been received within the times set forth in this appendix, conduct an investigation in accordance with Section 111.E of this appendix.

Section 111.E states that any shipment or part of shipment for which acknowledgement is not received within the times set forth in this section must:

1. Be investigated by the shipper if the shipper has not received notification or receipt within 20 days after transfer ( 45 days in accordance with the current exception for CR3 per ML21028A590); and

2. Be traced and reported. The investigation shall include tracing the shipment and filing a report with the nearest Commission Regional Office listed in Appendix D to this part.

Each licensee who conducts a trace investigation shall file a written report with the appropriate NRC Regional Office within 2 weeks of completion of the investigation.

Investi gation

On November 17, 2023, 4 shipments in rail cars containing radioactive materials, UN3321 LSA-II, UN2912 LSA-1 and Exempt materials, departed from the Crystal River 3 site at 15760 West Power Line Street in Crystal River, Florida to Waste Control Specialists, LLC in Andrews Texas.

Crystal River 3 and Waste Control Specialists, LLC received daily tracking reports from the railroad logistics contractor, I.C.E Service Group, for all waste shipments transported by rail from the Crystal River 3 Site. The locations of the subject shipments were verified and traced until receipt at the destination facility. Crystal River 3 and Waste Control Specialists, LLC tracked the progress of the shipment through the daily trace reports. At no time were the shipments lost or in an unknown location. The shipments were placed at the disposal facility by the rail carrier in December 2023. Disposal facility equipment challenges and staffing availability, due to the holiday's intermission, attributed to the delay in receipt.

The rail cars were released to the first railroad carrier (Florida Northern Railroad) on the date identified above. After release from the Crystal River 3 site, rail cars ITFX 8120, ITFX 8118, SOXX 526896 and GMIX 516138 were transported for 49 days before the shipments were received at the disposal facility on 1/5/2024.

Below is the summary for the rail shipments that exceeded the time provided in 10 CFR 20, Appendix G (as exempted). The summary includes the shipment identification (manifest) numbers, rail car identification (ID) numbers, shipment dates, date of receipt at the waste disposal facility and the total number of days the shipments were in transit.
