| Title | Heat and Smoke Detector Failed to Function |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of a phone conversation with the State of Nebraska Radioactive Materials Program:
On May 21, 2021, at 1600 (CDT), while performing a start up of the irradiator, the licensee noticed a fault on the control panel of the smoke detector. Troubleshooting revealed there was an issue with a circuit board in the fire system which was causing the fault. Replacement of the circuit board is in progress and is expected to be completed on May 25, 2021. The redundant heat and smoke detector in the vault does not provide an automatic shutdown of the irradiator in case of an emergency. Compensatory measures are in place which include stationing a fire watch. |
