Title | Notification to State Due to Contaminated Material Discovered in Free Release Scrap Material |
Event Description | At 0838 CDT on 08/15/2007, the State of Alabama Radiological Control Inspector [Deleted] was provided a voluntary notification that a small container of contaminated pipe compound was found in a local scrap metal recycling facility during an initial screening of a shipment of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFNP) scrap material.
At 1630 on 08/14/2007, TVA received notification from Tennessee Valley Recyclers that a shipment of scrap metal from BFNP alarmed their truck monitor during the initial screening. The item was identified as a small metal can (4 oz.) containing pipe threading compound. The item was quarantined. Follow-up survey confirmed no additional contaminated material in the shipment. TVA retrieved the quarantined item. Follow-up radiation surveys of the container at BFNP confirmed that the material did not exceed any reporting requirement thresholds. All free release of material from the low level radwaste facility has been suspended pending the results of the investigation of the event. As a result of this voluntary notification to the State, this event is reportable as a 4-hour Non-Emergency Notification in accordance with 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(xi) as 'Any event or situation, related to the health and safety of the public or on-site personnel, or protection of the environment, for which a notification to other government agencies has been made. BFNP survey indicated 6000 cpm of Co-60. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |
