Title | 24-Hour Report Involving Potential Failure to Maintain Double Contingency Criteria |
Event Description | As part of the ongoing GNF-A Fuel Manufacturing Operation (FMO) Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) project, reviews of documentation for scrap accumulation hoods were performed that identified procedural actions that were different than described in the criticality safety analysis. It was determined at approximately 2:45 PM on September 13, 2011 that uranium mixed with small amounts of moderator were not prevented from movement into these hoods. This resulted in a condition where the moderation criticality control documented as being necessary to meet double contingency may not have been maintained. The other criticality control on geometry was maintained at all times.
At no time was an unsafe condition present, however the accumulation hoods were shut down until necessary controls were available. Additional corrective actions and extent of condition are being evaluated. This event is being conservatively reported pursuant to GNF-A internal procedure reporting requirements within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of discovery. The licensee will inform state and local agencies and the NRC Region II Office of this incident. |
