Title	Offsite Notification Due to Transportation Accident
Event Description	This is a Non-Emergency 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> notification being made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(xi), an Offsite Notification. On May 20, 2010, at approximately 1535 CDT Waterford 3 was notified by the Louisiana (LA) State Police that a transportation accident occurred involving a low level radioactive shipping container that was being carried by a tractor trailer truck located at mile marker 22 East on interstate highway I-12 near Walker, LA in Livingston Parish. The surface contaminated object (SCO) metal shipment container was being used by Miller Transfer Houston to transport a used Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) motor from Waterford 3 nuclear plant in Killona, LA to Westinghouse Waltz Mill in Madison, PA. The shipment weighing approximately 145,000 pounds departed Waterford 3 at approximately 1230 CDT with identification number of 10-3044 and pre-shipment radiological survey information of contamination levels of less than or equal to 15,000 dpm/100cm2 and dose rates of less than or equal to 0.4 mR/Hr. The tractor trailer is on its side, just off the interstate, on the grass. The shipping container boxed cover lid has opened, exposing the RCP motor, showing that it is still wrapped with contamination protective covering and still fastened to the container base and trailer. The initial, basic radiological assessment performed by the LA State Police Hazmat technician supervisor resulted in no indication of hazardous levels of radiation dose rates. Waterford 3 dispatched a Radiation Protection field team who arrived at approximately 1840 CDT and surveyed the container and the contents. The survey results indicate no radiological breach, with smear results of contaminations no higher than background and radiation dose rates of no higher than 0.5 mR/Hr. There was no report of other vehicles involved. The driver was contacted by cell phone, who reported that he has been transported to the hospital emergency room for a CAT scan. The failure mode has yet to be determined. The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
