| Title | Tamper Seals Broken on Uf6 Shipping Canister |
| Event Description | A regularly scheduled shipment of Uranium Hexaflouride from an overseas supplier arrived at the Columbia site. During routine inspection for receipt it was noted that one of the overpacks had both tamper indicating devices compromised. The shipment was not accepted. On November 20 at approximately 1130 Westinghouse notified Law Enforcement and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Notification is being made based on the potential for 'Any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or onsite personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a news release is planned or notification to other government agencies has been or will be made, shall be reported to the NRC Operations Center concurrent to the news release or other notification', reference Appendix A, Section (c) to Part 70 of 10CFR70. At no time has the integrity of the overpack or container been challenged, nor has it been removed from the conveyance. The loaded trailer is located where plant security personnel can maintain visual and video surveillance. Cylinder remains in the overpack, which is located on the transport conveyance in a secure location at the entrance to the Site Property. The Columbia Site, the shipper and transport company are evaluating the appropriate path forward for disposition.
Local law enforcement came to the site and surveyed the overpack with an explosive detection canine unit. The surveys were clean. Notified R2DO (Henson), ILTAB (Hahn) and NSIR (Giantelli), FSME EO (Mohseni). |
