INTRODUCTION 12/31/83
- O INTRODUCTION t
[
The Safeguards Summary Event List (SSEL) provides brief summaries of several hundred safeguards-related events involving nuclear materials or facilities
{
regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). As the list is l-intended to provide a broad perspective on the nature of safeguards inci-dents in the licensed nuclear industry, both unusual and routine events are i
described.
Events have been placed in the several categories described below.. Each listing is included in a single category unless,it is trans-portation related, in which case it is cross-referenced in the transporta-l tion section.
The first category, Bomb-Related Events, is concerned with explosive or incendiary devices or materials and related threats.
This category has i
been divided into two sections.
Section A contains those few events in l
which a bomb or explosive material was located or an explosion occurred at j
a licensed facility.
Section B contains a chronology of all other bomb-related (e.g., hoax bomb threat) events.
Intrusion Events (the second category) includes incidents of attempted or actual penetration of a j
f acility's barriers or safeguards systems.
The Missing and/or Allegedly
{
Stolen section (the third category) includes events in which licensed j
material was stolen, alleged to be stolen, or found missing.
Category IV, Transportation-Related Events, typically includes incidents where licensed j
material was misrouted or involved in an accident. Material reported missing or stolen during transport, for example, would be included in j
Category III and cross-referenced in the transportation category.
Tam?ering/ Vandalism (the fifth category) includes destruction or attempted j
destruction of property, parts and equipment which do not directly cause a radioactive release or hoax incidents, threats and associated harassing l
activities regarding tampering or destruction cf property, parts or equip-l ment which would not directly cause a radioactive release.
Category VI, i
Arson, includes intentional acts involving incendiary, materials resulting in damage to property, equipment or other assets.
The seventh category, 1
Firearms-Related Events, typically describes the discharge,' discovery, or loss of firearms at a licensed facility.
Radiological Sabotage, Category.
VIII, includes any deliberate act directed against a licensed activity
~
which could endanger the public health and-safety by exposure to radiation.
Finally, Miscellaneous Events are those which hold some interest to safe-guards but which do not fit into any of the previously described categories.
Each event listed in the body of the report is identified by an alphanumeric composed of the appropriate category roman numeral, the last two digits :of the year in which the event occurred, and a sequential number for that specific year and category.
Each incident listing includes the appropriate -
date(s) and locations (s) and a brief-description of the event. Descriptions.
vary in detail according to the amount of data available through NRC reporting channels.

MISSING / ALLEGEDLY STOLEH 12/31/83 111-57
/3 III-83-11 06/04/83 Fletcher Street Philadelphia, PA It was reported to NRC Region I that five children in Phila-delphia had played with vials labeled " Radioactive Material."
St. Christopher's Hospital, where the children were taken, requested assistance in determining whether the children were contaminated.
A Region I inspector surveyed the children and their clothing and no radioactive contamination was found. A vacant lot was searched and surveyed.
No radiation was detected. A one-gallon can containing small vials which were labeled as containing less than 0.1 microcuries each of iodine-125 used in radioimmunoassay was discovered.
From dates on the vials,'it appeared that the vials were at least eight years old.
111-83-12 07/19/83 Amersham Corporation Arlington Heights, IL The licensee reported that a shipment of 50,000 sealed capsules of americium-241 (used in the manufacturing of smoke detectors) destined for Hong Kong did not arrive on schedule.

The driver informed the North Carolina Highway Patrol at 10:53 p.m.
A State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) unit was dispatched to interview the driver, and General Electric placed the truck and cargo in isolation upon its arrival at Wilmington.
A visual check of the cylinders showed three deep dents in the stainless steel outer skin of one cylinder overpack.
No evidence of pene-l tration to the UF6 cylinders was detected, and no radiological safety problems existed.
It was not confirmed that the truck was actually fired on.
In addition, it is possible that the incident was related to the nation's independent trucker's strike that was on-going at the time, l

Further inspection revealed that a white crystalline substance had been poured onto the assemblies.
An analysis performed at the site by the licensee indicated that the substance was sodium hydroxide.
The new fuel is stored along with spent fuel in a building which is locked and alarmed, and to which access is issued to site personnel after the completion of a background screening program.

A-2 Figure 9 displays the total number of bomb-related incidents (431) from 1976 through 1983. This graph shows peak bomb threat activity during 1979 followed by four years of significantly lower activity.
Figure 10 plots the total number of reported intrusion events (48) by year.
The graph shows peak activity in 1980, followed by only four intrusion events from 1981 through 1983.
Figure 11 shows that 44 tampering / vandalism events have been reported in the eight year period. The vandalism events represent approximately 5 per-cent of all safeguards events.
Figure 12 shows the relatively small number of firearms-related events that have occurred at all facilities. These 34 events comprise approxi-mately 4 percent of the safeguards event population.
Figure 13 shows the number of reported drug-and alcohol-related events sharply increasing from 1978 to 1981. The incidence of drug-and alcohol-related events has been relatively stable over the last three years.
