B0PE-RELATED EVENTS SECTION A - Events in which an exp'losive-or incendiary device'or material.

was located or an explosion occurred at or in.the vicinity of a licensed facility.

IA-69-01 05/04/69

' Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago, IL' Pipe bomb' found near reactor building.

2 IA-70-01 1970 Point Beach

~ Wisconsin Electric Power Co.

Manitowoc County, WI A guard reported finding materials for a homemade bomb near a construction area guard shack during.the early summer of-1970.

It was found that components of the bomb were not assembled in i.

such a manner that an explosion could have resulted. The. fact that the materials were located in the weeds behind the shack in such a manner that it would not be found by. casual observation was considered to-be significant.

The guard was suspected of staging a bomb scare.

The guard was later discharged from his employment at Point Beach on the basis of his conduct.

The guard in question was subsequently employed by a local company. While in the employ of the local company, the ex-guard was arrested for his part in a bomb scare at that concern.

I Dynamite was reportedly found in his car.

l Fuel present at site.

IA-72-01 11/07/72 State University Buffalo, NY Two bombs found in a building across the street from the reactor building.

B0MB DEVICE IA-2 12/31/82 IA-74-01 08/26/74 Pilgrim Boston Edison Co.

Plymouth County, MA At 5:11 p.m., two distinct shots were heard, the second sounding much like an explosion. A small fire was then observed in a wooded area next to the plant. Subsequently, it was determined that a small propane gas tank, 12" x 3", had apparently been tied to a tree and fired on with a pistol cr rifle, thereby causing it to explode. No penetration of the protected area occurred. The incident occurred in an area open to the public, 200 feet from the fence surrounding the protected area, and at least 1/4 mile from the station itself. Fuel present at site.

IA-77-01 10/10/77 Trnjan Portland General Electric Co.

Columbia County, OR Between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m., a pipe bomb detonated next to the Trojan visitors center. The explosion was no threat to protected areas.

Fuel present at site.

l IA-78-01 09/01/78 University of New Mexico Nuclear Engineering Lab Albuquerque, NM A small homemade pyrotechnic device was found at approximately 9:20 a.m., on September 1,1978, on the roof of the Nuclear i

Engineering Laboratory. The Lab and the AGN 201 reactor are housed in an earthen concrete blockhouse with a roof of approxi-mately three feet of dirt between two five-inch concrete slabs.

The device was a Band-Aid can wrapped with duct tape and contained approximately 50 match heads and what appeared to be gravel. A partially burned paper fuse was attached to the can. Two students discovered it when they were sent to the roof to remove weeds.

From the faded and weathered condition of the Band-Aid can, it could have been on the roof for several months. The device was no threat to the reactor.

IA-82-01 05/26/82 Bellefonte Tennessee Valley Authority Jackson County, AL Following a loud noise in a reactor building, a piece of hanger support tubing was found on a wooden platform in the building.

The tubing appeared to have been deliberately filled with acetylene Das and ignited. The licensee determined this to be the source of the loud noise. No damage to equipment or perscnnel occurred.

MISSING / STOLEN III-27 12/31/82 III-78-03 01/31/78 Canton,'OH An americium-241 - beryllium well-logging source was discovered missing from its shielded storage container on a truck. Eight days later, a highway construction worker found the source in its holder about 15 feet from the highway.

It is believed that the locking mechanism on the shielded storage container was not properly locked, and the source (in its holder) worked its way out of the storage container and fell to the road through an opening in the truck compartment. Because of extensive press and television coverage, the source holder was quickly recog-nized.

It had been stored as a spare in a warehouse from which it was discovered missing in the latter part of August. A cleanup of the warehouse had occurred in June 1978 and two scrap yards that received scrap from the cleanup operation were searched with negative results. Since the gauge weighed 300 pounds, the scrap yard operators suggested that it might have been loaded onto a railroad car immediately upon receipt and sent to a steel mill. A hazard could result only if someone tampered with the device and removed the source from the gauge.

111-78-17 09/07/78 University of Pennsylvania Hospital Philadelphia, PA A radiotherapy source containing 37 millicuries of cesium-137 could not be located. The source was one of two which were mounted in an applicator on September 5 for insertion into a patient on that date. It was discovered missing when the applicator was withdrawn on September 7.

The shipment was of less than Skg and hence, did not come under 10 CFR 73 shipment safeguards requirements. The packaging of the shipment at General Atomics was witnessed by NRC Region Y-inspectors and NRC seals were applied to each of the drums (4) in the shipment. The seals were checked by NRC Region I inspectors when the shipment arrived at New York's Kennedy Airport on December 16, 1978, and all four seals were found to be broken. The broken seal wires were still in place in the seal holes of each drum. Based on his examination of the four drums at Kennedy Airport, the NRC inspector decided that the contents of the containers had not been disturbed. Consequently, new seals were affixed to the drums -- without an inspection of the contents -- and the containers were exported. On January 5,1979, the IAEA inspected the shipment and verified that the contents were as shipped from California.

VANDAL. ISM V-10 12/31/82 p

V-82-06 8/9/82 Salem Public Service Electric and Gas Co.

Salem County, NJ On August 9, 1982, Salem Nuclear Generating Station Unit I was ordered tripped by the senior shift supervisor due to steam feed flow mismatch and decreasing levels in the steam genera-tors. All safety systems responded normally to the manual trip. A subsequent investigation into the cause of the event determined that the No. 12 Station Essential Controls Inverter Breaker was in the "off" position.

Tests determined that this position was not associated with any automatic protection action but rather could, apparently, only be achieved manually.

Thus, deliberate action was suspected. The event did not involve major degradation of essential safety-related equipment or reduction in the degree of protection of the public health and safety. As an immediate action, the licensee performed a number of surveillances of safety-related equipment for both units, including start verification of rotating Emergency Core Cooling System equipment, start test and loading of the Emer-gency Diesel Generators, critical valve lineup verification, inspection of various motor control centers and safety related panels, and increasing the roving patrols thoughout the power block. No other discrepancies were found and the plant resumed

(

operation at 8:50 a.m. on August 10. Fuel present at site.

V-82-07 8/16/82 Salem Public Service Electric and Gas Co.

Salem County, NJ On August 16, 1982, at approximately 5:00 p.m., a shift equip-ment operator on tour in Salem Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2 found the manual isolation stop valves for each set of two air start motors (four total) for the 2C Diesel Generator in the shut position. This would have prevented automatic or manual start of the diesel generator (one of three).

Sub-sequent investigation by site personnel found no reason for the position of the valves to have been changed since they had been verified open at about 5:00 p.m. on August 15 during the previous operator tour.

The event did not involve major degradation of essential safety-related equipment or major reduction in the degree of protection of the public health and safety. Due to the possibility of deliberate tampering, the licensee conducted operability checks of all remaining Emergency Core Cooling equipment, started and loaded all diesel generators, f~h

VANDALISM V-11 12/31/82 inspected various motor control centers and safety-related electrical panels, and sampled all fuel and water tanks.

The additional precautionary measures initiated in response to the August 9 event (see previous entry) had also been continued.

On August 18, the NRC issued a confirmatory action letter formally confirming licensee commitments to:

1) verify the operability of safety-related equipment; 2) remove from plant vital areas all personnel not essential to continued safe operation of the plant; 3) discontinue work in vital areas not essential to continued safe operation of the plant, to the satisfaction of previous commitments, or to meet the outage work schedule; and 4) implement more stringent controls for access to vital equipment.

V-82-08 9/3/82 Salem Public Service Electric and Gas Company Salem County, NJ On September 3,1982, licensee personnel, investigating the cause of an unplanned gaseous radioactive release from the Salem Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 Auxiliary Building, found a drain valve un the vent line from the V0lume Control Tank open.

No authorization had been given to manipulate this valve and the licensee's initial conclusion was that this was an act of tampering.

As an immediate action, the licensee conducted operability checks of essential safety-related equipment in addition to the precautionary measures committed to in the NRC confirmatory action letter (see previous entry). The total radioactive release resulting from the valve being open was estimated to be 19 curies of Xenon-133, which was well within the regulatory limits for routine radioactive releases, from approximately 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on September 3.

The event did not involve major degradation of essential safety-related equipment or major reduction in the degree of protection of public health and safety. The licensee subsequently coaducted a detailed review and investigation which revealed that the valve would open after being repeatedly struck by a nearby cage door during entry into this area.

The presence and contamination of a maintenance crew at the time the release began and the absence of knowledge or report of anyone else entering into the immediate area substanti-ated the conclusion that the valve opening was accidental rather than the result of tampering.

Figure 1 provides an overview, by year, of the data base _ used. )r all' figures 4'

presented.in this appendix,- a total of 743 safeguards events from 1976 through December 31,1982. The graph illustrates that overall safeguards event activity increased by more than 100 percent from 1978 to 1979, remained relativelyz constant from 1979 to:1980, decreased by aoproximately 37 percent between 1980 and 1981 and increased in' 1982 by approximately 22 percent.

a Figure 2 depicts safeguards events excluding any bomb-related -incidents. 'It i

shows a peak in other-than-bomb-related incidents in 1980 with a 39 percent decrease in 1981 and a 31 percent increase from 1981 to 1982.

Figure 3.sh'ows the total' population of 743 safeguards events plotted against the five NRC geographic regions in which they occurred.* - Regions 1, 2 and 3 l

lO ea'ch have had roughly twice as many events as Regions 4 and'5, which is.due primarily to the vastly higher number of licensed facilities in Regions 1, 2 L

i Figures;4, 5. and 6 show overall. safeguards event activity divided between 1

. reactor and non-reactor events.

. Figure 7-displays th'e percentage of events falling into each safeguards category.

The majority of events (53%)-during the seven-year period have been' bomb-related,

-events. The vast majority _ of bomb-related events have been directed at reactor facilities. The next most common class of. event is material missing,. lost or i_

stolen (20%).

It should be noted that the 1% indicated for the transportation category reflects only those transportation-related events that are not already included in another category since the transportation category is generally a

STATISTICS A-2 12/31/81 Figure 9 displays the total number of bomb-related incidents (392) involving reactor and non-reactor activities by year. This graph shows peak bomb threat activity during 1979 (ollowed by two years of decline and a 14 percent increase from 1981 to 1982.

Figure 10 plots the total number of reported intrusion events (38) by year.

The graph shows peak activity in 1980; however, the small sample size calls for caution in judging the significance of activity levels.

Figure 11 shows that 35 vandalism events have been reported for the seven year period under consideration.

The vandalism events reported between 1976 and December 31, 1982 represent approximately 4 percent of all safeguards events.

Figure 12 shows the relatively small number of reported firearms-related events that have occurred at all facilities.

These 29 events comprise approximately 4 percent of the safeguards event population.

Figure 13 shows the number of reported drug and alcohol-related events increasing since 1978. The 23 events reported during 1982 comprise about 3 percent of the total reported safeguards event population.
