V'> The Safeguards Summary Event List (SSEL), Vol. 2, Rev. 7, provides brief summaries of several hundred safeguards-related events involving nuclear material or facilities regulated by the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) which occurred and were reported from January 1, 1990, through December 31,1998. Events are described under the categories of Bomb-related, Intrusion, Missing and/or Allegedly Stolen, Transportation-related, Tampering / Vandalism, Firearms, Radiological Sabotage, Nonradiological Sabotage, and Miscellaneous. Because of public interest, the Miscellaneous category includes a few events which involve either source material, byproduct material, or natural uranium which are exempt from safeguards requirements.

The document is divided into two major sections: a chronological listing of events by category, and a short statistical analysis. The information contained in the event descriptions is reported primarily by the licensees, NRC resident inspectors or NRC Regional Information Assessment Team (IAT) personnel to the NRC Operations Center or the IAT in the Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. Recent changes to Section 831 of Chapter 39 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code regarding criminal activity includes a significant expansion of the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation's jurisdiction to initiate criminal investigation for the malicious use of nuclear material or nuclear byproduct material. This change resulted in three incidents in the Miscellaneous section.

/m For the fourth straight year, the overall number of Safeguards Events dropped. In 1998, there (V )

were only 9 events, as opposed to 24 the previous year (Figure 1). Since more narrowly-defined reporting requirements were implemented in 1995, there has been a dramatic drop-offin the number ofincidents reported. The highest number ofincidents last year were in the Bomb Threat (4) and Miscellaneous (3) categories (Figure 2). Reactor Events slightly exceeded non-reactor events (Figures 3 & 4). Over the past ten years, Firearms (474), Bomb-related (162), and i i

miscellaneous events (295) dominate the overall number of safeguards events, with the other four categories combined accounting for the 70 remaining incidents (Figure 5). The number of operating power reactors dropped in 1998 due to plant shutdowns (Figure 6), but will likely remain steady over the next year.

e The most notable incident during the past year occurred in the Miscellaneous category, when 19 cesium-137 (Cs-137) brachytherapy sources totaling 604 millicuries were discovered missing from a locked cabinet at Moses Cone Hospital in North Carolina. 3 Due to the large number of sources and the fact that they appeared to have been i deliberately removed from the cabinet, local law enforcement and the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation (FBI) were called in to investigate. To help search for the missing l sources, Department of Energy Radiological Assistance Program (RAP) teams and i aircraft were also called in. While the sources have not been recovered, this incident has been cited by all parties involved as a model of cooperation for future incidents of i I

a similar nature.

r NUREG-0525, VOL. 2, REV. 7 JULY 1999 INTRODUCTION

The Safeguanis Summary Event List (SSEL) provides brief summaries of several hundred L safeguards-related events involving nuclear materials or facilities regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The SSEL is comprised of two parts. Vol.1, issued July 1992, summarizes events that occurred and were reported from pre-NRC through December 31,1989.

Vol. 2, Rev. 7, issued July 1999, summarizes events that occurred January 1,1990, through December 31,1998. . Because of public interest, the Miscellaneous category includes a few

. events which involve either byproduct material, source material, or natural uranium which are exempt from safeguards requirements. As the list is intended to provide a broad perspective on the nature of safeguards incidents in the licensed nuclear industry, both unusual and routine events are described. Events have been placed in the several categories described below. Each listing is included in a single category unless it is transportation-related, in which case it is cross-referenced in the Transportation category.

I. Bomb-Related:' Events concerned with explosives, incendiary devices or arson.

Section A: Events in which a bomb or explosive material was located or an explosion

. occurred at a licensed facility.

Section B: All other bomb-related events (e.g., hoax bomb threats).

II. Intrusion: Incidents of attempted or actual penetration of a facility's barriers or safeguards systems.

III. Mia=ino or Allenedly Stolen: Events in which safeguarded material was stolen, alleged 1 to be stolen, discovered missing, or found.

IV. Trannoortation-Related: Events typically include incidents where safeguarded material i

was misrouted or involved in an accident. Material reported missing or stolen during l transport, for example, would be included in Category III and cross-referenced in the  !

Transportation category. j L

i V. Tamnerino/ Vandalism: Incidents of destruction or attempted destruction of property, parts, and equipment which do not directly cause a radioactive release.

VI. Maps These events were moved to Category I effective 1997.

VII. Firearms-Related: Events typically describe the discharge, discovery, or loss of firearms at a licensed facility.

VIIIA. Radiolonical Sabotane: Deliberate act directed against a safeguarded activity which could endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

)

ix

NUREG-0525, VOL. 2, REV. 7 JULY 1999 VIIIB. Nonradiolozical Sabotace: Events characterized by the FBI as sabotage but which could not endanger the public health and safety by exposure to radiation.

IX. Alcohol and Drues: These events have been dropped from this document and are now contained in NUREG/CR-5758.

X. Miscellaneous: Events which hold some interest to safeguards and the public but which do not fit into any of the previously described categories.

Each event listed in the body of the repon is identified by an alphanumeric code 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 and location and a brief description of the event. Descriptions vary in detail according to the amount of data available through NRC reporting channels.

The sources were discovered missing from the safe during a quarterly inventory physical check. 4 The last time the sources were seen was when a leak test of the sources was l performed on 12/22/97. The licensee did not have any patients needing l brachytherapy since 12/15/97, so the sources should not have been removed from  ;

the safe.  !

Action: The licensee notified the hospital's security and searched for the 19 missing sources. i State, NRC, DOE and FBI personnel also worked with the licensee to help locate the l sources. Guilford County Emergency Management official coordinated a ground j and air surveillance of the DOE Radiological Assistance Program team. l Resolution: After two days of negative findings the DOE search was terminated. Procedures for entering the lab and accessing the safe were subsequently modified. The sources 3

Event: In April, Washington State University (WSU) was notified by its badge processor  ;

that it was unable to read five badges due to phosphorus-32 contamination. On June 2,1998, the state told the NRC that 180 badges had been contaminated and that 175 of the badges had been contaminated by the original five contaminated badges. In  ;

addition, the state reported that only three April badges were found contaminated. l These badges were worn by a husband and wife team who worked in the same  ;

laboratory. The woman, who was pregnant, wore two badges, one for herself and a l second to monitor fetal radiation exposure. i Action: Deliberate contamination of the badges is suspected. There is no indication of any ,

internal contamination by any of the workers at the laboratory.

Resolution: WSU, local authorities, and the FBI investigated the incident and were unable to l determine how the contamination occurred.

Melsember P mt Laboratory Providence, RI-NMED Database #981183 PNO-I-98-052 Plant Status: NA Event; The licensee reported that a graduate student was charged by Providence Police with using I-125 tainted food to poison two other university students. The graduate student placed the I-125 in a food dish and gave it to his former girlfriend and her roomate. The graduate student apparently worked in a molecular pharmacology laboratory where radionuclides are used, but he was not authorized to use I-125, a byproduct material. The licensee discovered the incident when, during a routine thyroid screening, the female student had elevated radiation levels in her thyroid despite not using any radioiodine since September. After further investigation, licensee officials discovered the remains of the tainted food dish at the student's residence.

Action: The licensee contacted the Rhode Island Department of Health, the Providence N Police and the State's Attorney General Office. The FBI was also notified.

l Preliminary bioassay results made by the licensee of the female student indicate a

X-76 MISCELLANEOUS NUREG-0525, Vel,2, Rev. 7 JULY 1999 whole body dose ofless than 2 cGy (rem). The roommate's dose was an order of magnitude lower. Investigation is ongoing. Based on additional information from the State, the laboratory had a total of 3.7 MBq (100 uCi) ofI-125. The female most exposed received 1.4 cSv (rem) whole body and 48 to 68 cSv (rem) to the thyroid.

Dose calculations were based on intake of 1.35 MBq (36.5 uCi) ofI-125. The exposed individuals are considered members of the public by the State and licensee.

Resolution: The police have charged the student with poisoning, assault and larceny. His trial was delayed pending deportation hearings. He may also face federal charges in the case.
