| event text = At 1300 on 01/13/04, the Plant Shift Superintendent (PSS) was notified that a waste drum was not characterized and handled properly as fissile waste. During the investigation of ATRC-03-4095, container RFD# 213439-01, which had been characterized as NCS spacing exempt based on the drum being heterogeneous material, it was identified that this waste drum contained solid uranium deposit material violating NCSA WMO-001. The purpose of this NCSA requirement is to determine if the waste drum requires two independent characterization results. Two independent characterization methods were not utilized for the characterization of this drum. | | event text = At 1300 on 01/13/04, the Plant Shift Superintendent (PSS) was notified that a waste drum was not characterized and handled properly as fissile waste.

SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS: Safety significance of event Is low due to the fact that Nondestructive Assay characterization results of drum contents indicate a total U235 content of less than the safe mass limit for NCS Spacing Exempt waste. | SAFETY SIGNIFICANCE OF EVENTS: Safety significance of event Is low due to the fact that Nondestructive Assay characterization results of drum contents indicate a total U235 content of less than the safe mass limit for NCS Spacing Exempt waste. | ||
