=Narrative=
Report for LER 50-366/1979-112, Rev. 1 While Unit 2 was in cold shutdown 2 IRMs were replaced on 10-11-79.
While tagging them with the special nuclear materi-al tags it was noted that an IRM which was removed in October of 1978 was not where it had been Icft.
A search of the drywell and radwaste was conducted; neither TIP room was scarched.
The detector was not found in either the drywell or radwaste.
At this time it was thought that the IRM had been processed with contaminated equipment and trash from the drywell and shipped offsite for burial.
An LER (50-366/1979-112) was submitted stating the IRM was shipped offsite for burial.
Ilowever, on 5-4-81, while transferring detectors from 55-gallon drums to an SNM storage box, the IRM w.as found in Unit 1 TIP room.
The 55-gallon drum in which it was found was not tagged.
Detector replacement procedures have been revised to require the tagging of detectors in the drywell and person-nel have been instructed so as to prevent a recurrence.
There was no impact to the other unit, and neither public health and safety nor safe plant operation were affected by this incident.
