During normal entry / exit through seconda … During normal entry / exit through secondary containment boundary door 1A401, it was discovered that the door would not latch closed due to interferences between the door and its frame. The door was unable to be latched closed for approximately 5 minutes which represented a possible path for uncontrolled release of radioactive material. No release of radioactive material occurred as a result of this event. </br>The time during which the door would not latch was spent diligently troubleshooting to determine why the door would not secure. When discovered, the interference was immediately removed and the door was secured (latched). Door 1A401 is now operable as a secondary containment boundary but is currently deactivated and posted by security to prevent use as a conservative measure until further inspection and maintenance can be preformed on the door to prevent this issue from reoccurring. </br>At this time secondary containment is operable with boundary door 1A401 closed and latched.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.</br>* * * UPDATE FROM MICHAEL J. LARSON TO DONALD NORWOOD AT 1042 EDT ON 10/30/09 * * *</br>Retraction of Notification EN# 45316.</br>The event was reported by Grand Gulf Nuclear Station on 08/31/2009 at 1014 CDT.
