| | AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 10 |
| | |
| | Causal Analysis & Corrective Actions |
| | > Corrective Action #1 Established pre-shipment radiation survey activity thresholds. |
| | * Thresholds trigger additional management review |
| | * Applicable to all MAR equipment shipments. |
| | > Corrective Action #2 Clarified roles and responsibilities for RP and operations personnel to ensure proper packaging of all radioactive equipment. |
| | * Enhanced ownership of equipment packaging. |
| | AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 11 |
| | |
| | Causal Analysis & Corrective Actions |
| | > Corrective Action #3 Added requirement to perform extensive surveys of highly contaminated equipment, for example: |
| | * Reactor Cavity |
| | * Below the Reactor Head |
| | * Spent Fuel Pool |
| | > Corrective Action #4 Fuel Cleaning Equipment is transported in a closed conveyance. |
| | > Above requirements added to SL-1600, Shipment and Receipt of Radioactive Material. |
| | > CAs 1 - 4 are completed AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 12 |
| | |
| | Contributing Causes & Corrective Actions |
| | > CC #1 - Extent of Condition Review had not been performed using previous MAR receipt shipments which exceeded transportation limits. |
| | > Corrective Action |
| | #1 - Performed an external assessment of RP practices in shipment preparation - complete. |
| | * Results matched internal ACA findings. |
| | #2 - Open CA to perform a Lessons Learned Review. |

> Causal Analysis/Corrective Actions
> Conclusions AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 3
Background
On February 4, 2008, WB received a shipment of fuel cleaning equipment sent from the AREVA NP Inc, Mount Athos Road (MAR) facility. The receipt radiation survey indicated that Box 455 had a localized hot spot which exceeded the transportation requirements of 10 CFR 71.47.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 4
Fuel Cleaning Equipment Overview Purpose/Use:
- Ultrasonic cleaning system Primary Underwater used to remove material Components:
deposits from the fuel Filtration Unit cladding to reduce Axial Offset Anomaly improving thermal Ultrasonic Transducer performance Housing for Two Fuel Assemblies
- Secondary benefit to reduce plant source term - dose reduction System Design Considerations:
- Underwater components electro polished to support decontamination due to potential contamination
- Specific container design incorporates shipping restraints and shielding of anticipated high dose Fuel Cleaner Filtration Unit components Fuel Cleaner Fuel Assembly Ultrasonic Transducer Housing AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 5
Activity Timeline Pre-Shipment 12/13/07 Inappropriate Action - 2 MAR equipment surv ey performed.
Containment of high activity Filter Housing (FH) - 450 mr/hr on material not sufficient for contact. transport.
Pump - 7 R/hr - replaced.
Pre-operational checkout - 12 hrs of Inappropriate Action - 3 operation (flushing) prior to package for Equipment shipped on a flatbed shipment to WB. No change in trailer.
radiation lev els (fixed).
Inappropriate Action - 4 Lessons learned from past events not applied.
Nov-07 Dec-07 Jan-08 Feb-08 10/24/07 Equipment shipped from 1/31/08 Palisades. Pre-shipment surv ey:
Highest contact reading on FH remained 450 mr/hr Box 455 was 80 mr/hr.
10/26/08 Highest contact reading on MAR receipt surv ey 80 mr/hr. Box 455 was 40mr/hr.
> AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 6
Activity Timeline Post-Shipment 2/4/08 WB received shipment w ith Box 455: hot spot reading 2000 mr/hr, 150 mr/hr at 4 inches below box 2/9/08 (top of trailer bed), and 5-7 mr/hr beneath trailer.
Source material located Discussed shipment w ith WB staff - equipment w as in Box 455 and removed being handled safely using duct tape.
Box 455 returned to 1-2 Review ed shipment itinerary from trucking company mr/hr.
Performed risk review and concluded no immediate risk to driver, public nor w orkers.
WB unloaded the Box 455. Inappropriate Action - 5 No formal HP training on DRP.
Jan-08 Feb-08 Mar-08 Apr-08 Inappropriate Action - 1 2/6-9/08 2/19/08 Waited to send HP to WB MAR RP Source material returned to MAR.

Atlanta May 28, 2008 8
Safety Significance Survey data illustrated graphically Conclusion of Risk Assessment :
No Undue Risk to the Public or Truck Driver AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 9
Causal Analysis & Corrective Actions
> Two Apparent Causes AC #1 - The procedure for pre-shipment surveys did not have an activity threshold for additional consideration of containment of high activity material prior to transport.
AC #2 - The procedure for pre-shipment surveys did not have any specific requirements for consideration of additional packaging or use of a closed conveyance trailer.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 10
Causal Analysis & Corrective Actions
> Corrective Action #1 Established pre-shipment radiation survey activity thresholds.
- Thresholds trigger additional management review
- Applicable to all MAR equipment shipments.
> Corrective Action #2 Clarified roles and responsibilities for RP and operations personnel to ensure proper packaging of all radioactive equipment.
- Enhanced ownership of equipment packaging.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 11
Causal Analysis & Corrective Actions
> Corrective Action #3 Added requirement to perform extensive surveys of highly contaminated equipment, for example:
> Corrective Action #4 Fuel Cleaning Equipment is transported in a closed conveyance.
> Above requirements added to SL-1600, Shipment and Receipt of Radioactive Material.
> CAs 1 - 4 are completed AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 12
Contributing Causes & Corrective Actions
> CC #1 - Extent of Condition Review had not been performed using previous MAR receipt shipments which exceeded transportation limits.
> Corrective Action
- 1 - Performed an external assessment of RP practices in shipment preparation - complete.
- Results matched internal ACA findings.
- 2 - Open CA to perform a Lessons Learned Review.
- Implemented through CAP and audit process.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 13
Contributing Causes & Corrective Actions
> CC #2 - RP technicians did not have formal training on Discrete Radioactive Particles (DRP).
> Corrective Actions
- 1 - Procedure SL-1291,Discrete Radioactive Particle Control created
- 2 - RP technicians were trained on the procedure.
- 3 - Formal DRP Training Program developed.
- 4 - Initial & Recurring Training added to the RP annual curriculum.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 14
Contributing Causes & Corrective Actions
> CC #3 - There was a 2 day delay in dispatching a MAR RP technician to support the event investigation.
> Corrective Action Requirement to dispatch an RP technician immediately if a transportation container exceeds any transportation limit.
Requirement added to procedure SL - 1600.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 15
Corrective Action Summary
> Corrective Actions 1 - 4 are complete.
> Subsequent Lessons Learned Review will validate apparent and contributing causes and ensure effectiveness of CA implementation.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 16
Conclusions
> MAR recognizes the potential risk this event as important. In this case, the risk to the public or workers was very low.
> MAR causal analysis investigation was comprehensive.
> Corrective actions were comprehensive and complete.
AREVA NP Inc. > AREVA - NRC meeting. Atlanta May 28, 2008 17
