| Title | Fire Damaged a Device Containing Licensed Material |
| Event Description | On Sunday, April 11, 2010 at approximately 0813 hrs (CST), two of three dust collector ducts failed on Unit 2 at the Rockport coal fired electric power plant. This resulted in the release of boiler gas in excess of 800 F which caused several small fires of combustible equipment and material. Damage included the rubber sheath covering the remote control cable that opens and closes the level indicator, [which contains the licensed material], and is located in a nearby gas recirculation hopper.
On Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 1400 hrs (CST), the three (3) shutters on each Unit's level indicators were inspected and found and verified to be in the closed position. The vendor indicates that the estimated shipping date for a replacement is June 18, 2010. An alternative source is being investigated. There was no exposure or injury to any personnel. The adjacent area has been cordoned off and access is restricted. The affected indicator has been tagged in accordance with company energy isolation procedures. The gas recirculation hopper level indicator device was manufactured by Texas Nuclear (device number 5197; serial number LE/LX 7015; source serial number B2628) containing 100 mCi of CS-137. |
