| Event Description | The licensee provided the following information via facsimile:
The Radiation Safety Officer at Energy Solutions waste processing facility [Duratek Radwaste Processing, Oak Ridge ,TN] called the State to report an incoming shipment [open bed trailer] containing 12 boxes [of Dry Active Waste - 323 millicuries] from Dairyland Power Cooperative in Genoa, Wisconsin was surveyed for receipt and found to have greater than 200 Mr/hr on one box. The dose rate exceeded the DOT regulations referenced in 49 CFR 173.441. NRC regions 1 and 3 were notified on 4/16/07. In further discussions with Dairyland Power Cooperative it was stated that when the shipment left La Cross power plant facility the survey of the boxes was within DOT shipping regulations. During transport the Dry Active Waste most likely settled to the bottom of the box which accounted for the elevated radiation levels. Dairyland Power Cooperative stated the state of TN would be contacting the state of WI about this incident. TN Report ID Number: TN-07-074
Spoke to state of TN and they indicated they were not contacting the state of WI since Dairyland Power Cooperative was a NRC licensee. Notified FSME (Morell) and R1DO (Miller) and R3DO (Kozak). |
