Title	Agreement State Report - Transported Package Exceeds External Radiation Limits
Event Description	The following report was received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania via email: The Department [Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection] was notified on May 29, 2015, after the close of business, of a package received by the licensee that exceeded the external radiation limits. This event is reportable immediately per 20.1906(d)(2). On Friday May 29, 2015, a package was received at the Madison location of Westinghouse. Receipt surveys determined that the package containing 'tri-nuc filters' exceeded the contact dose rate of 200 mR/hr as noted in 10 CFR 71.47. Confirmatory instruments used indicated a dose rate of around 300 mR/hr on contact (75 mR/hr at one foot, and 16 mR/hr at three feet). No removable contamination is present. The package was shipped from Westinghouse's European service center in Belgium. They maintain that the package met all transportation requirements prior to departure. It is believed that either the package shielding or material may have shifted during transport. No exposures in excess of regulatory limits are expected. The Department [Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection] plans a reactive inspection and the facility is preparing a full report. More information will be provided upon receipt.
