Title	Shipment of Control Rod Mechanisms Exceeded External Radiation Limits
Event Description	At 1518 EST on Feb 27, 2015, the Perry Shift Manager received notice from the Radiation Protection group that an Exclusive Use closed transport vehicle arrived on site exceeding the 10 CFR 71.47 radiation levels on contact with a box on the vehicle. The truck that arrived had two boxes containing four rebuilt control rod drive mechanisms to be used during the Perry refueling outage. One of the boxes had a contact dose reading of 1290 MR/HR. This is above the 1000 MR/HR limit as noted in 10 CFR 71.47. No other limits were exceeded on the exterior of the vehicle. Specifically, the cab of the truck was reading 0.1 MR/HR which is less than the 2 MR/HR limit. Also at 2 meters around the truck, the highest level reading was 1.2 MR/HR which is below the 10 MR/HR [limit]. Also on direct contact with the outside of the vehicle, the highest reading was 30 MR/HR, which is below the 200 MR/HR limit. The Site Radiation Protection Shipping Coordinator contacted the shipping organization of this finding at Perry. This was the Director of Operations of Energy Solutions in Memphis, Tennessee. The box was taken into the Perry Fuel Handling Building and is posted per the Perry Radiation Control Program. The vehicle is parked outside the Fuel Handling Building and is being controlled. The NRC Resident Inspector has been informed.
