Title	Agreement State Report Involving Shipment of Packages with Removable Contamination
Event Description	On October 18, the licensee called the Division [Tennessee Division of Radiological Health] to report that a shipment brokered by Duratek from their facility in Memphis, TN on September 29 arrived at Laguna Verde Power Station near Veracruz, Mexico on October 5 with three boxes exceeding the removable contamination limits of 49CFR173.443. The boxes contained contaminated equipment, to be used at the Power Station during an outage. The equipment was contaminated with mixed fission/activation products. There was no contamination found on the truck. The boxes were decontaminated onsite. Tennessee Event report ID No.: TN-04-151 * * UPDATE FROM TENNESSEE DIVISION OF RAD HEALTH TO BILL HUFFMAN AT 16:30 EDT ON 10/25/04 * * * This event was reported on 10/19/04 as exceeding the removable contamination limits of 49 CFR 173.443. The licensee has investigated the incident which involved three boxes of GE Nuclear equipment shipped from the licensee to Laguna Verde Nuclear Plant in Mexico. The investigation has shown that this shipment did not violate applicable regulations for international shipments of radioactive materials and most likely did not violate the limits for shipments under the US DOT regulations. The latter statement is qualified. Because the data from Laguna Verde is not sufficient to make any other determination. The area averaging and the smear removal efficiencies were not determined. The investigation has revealed that the shipment violated Laguna Verde's acceptance procedures for loose contamination. NMSS EO ( Miller), R1DO (Cahill), and R4DO (Sanborn) have been informed.
