NRC SENDS SPECIAL INSPECTION TEAM TO PUERTO RICO

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has dispatched a special inspection team to review a

reported radiation overexposure to two employees of Law Engineering and Environmental Services in

Dorado, Puerto Rico.

On November 24, the company notified the NRC Operations Center that the radiation safety

officer and another employee were changing radioactive sources on a radiography camera when they

discovered the Iridium-192 source was not in its proper location during the exchange. Radiography is

a process that uses radioactive materials to produce x-ray-like images of structures, pipes, welds and

other objects to see if they may contain flaws.

During the brief time the two individuals were exposed to the source, the company estimates

that they may have received a radiation exposure of 628 rem to their hands and/or fingers. The annual

NRC exposure limit for extremities is 50 rem. The company also reported that one person’s pocket

dosimeter, a small device which measures radiation exposure, indicated a whole body dose of 150

millirem and the other person’s dosimeter indicated a dose of 200 millirem. The annual NRC whole

body exposure limit for nuclear workers is 5000 millirem (5 rem). The company has restricted the two

employees from activities which could cause them to receive additional radiation exposure.

The special inspection team, which includes two inspectors from the NRC’s regional office in

Atlanta and one inspector from NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, will review the

circumstances surrounding the overexposure. The team will issue a written report, which will be

available to the public, several weeks after the completion of the inspection.

NRC STAFF PROPOSES $3,000 FINE AGAINST THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSINMADISON FOR LOSS OF NUCLEAR DEVICE

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has proposed a $3,000 fine against the University of

Wisconsin-Madison for violating NRC requirements associated with the loss of six plated radioactive

sources during a renovation of a campus laboratory. The sources were being used to eliminate static in

a research project.

The university recovered two of the six sources. All six sources contained about 6.5

microcuries of americium-241, a radioactive isotope. Americium-241 is used in a variety of

applications, including residential and commercial smoke detectors.

The university lost the sources during the renovation of laboratory No. 342 in the Structural

Botany Building during June. On September 27, the university reported the loss of three sources after

having recovered two sources on September 13. The NRC subsequently determined that there was one

additional source lost, making a total of four sources which remained lost. University officials believe

the four sources were disposed of in the normal trash when the floor of the laboratory was cleaned.

Following an investigation of the incident, the NRC staff determined that the universityís

failure to prevent the unauthorized removal or access to licensed material that was stored in controlled

or unrestricted areas was a violation of NRC requirements.

In notifying the university of the proposed fine, NRC Regional Administrator James E. Dyer

said, ìThe failure to adequately secure and limit access to licensed material is a significant safety issue. 

Implementation of adequate security measures for licensed materials is intended to prevent members of

the public from being unknowingly and unnecessarily exposed to radiation.î

Dyer noted that the university had taken corrective actions to prevent a recurrence of the

situation, including conducting additional surveys of nearby areas and storing the two remaining

sources in the radiation safety department. However, he said, a newly adopted enforcement policy

provides that a fine be proposed to reflect the significance of the violation and emphasize the

importance of maintaining control of licensed material. The specified fines included in the

enforcement policy were developed to correspond to roughly three times the cost of proper disposal of

radioactive material.
The university has 30 days to pay the fine or protest it. If the fine is protested and subsequently

imposed by the NRC staff, the company may request a hearing.

NRC SPECIAL INSPECTION OF REACTOR COMPONENT DAMAGE AT QUAD CITIES

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a special team inspection at the Quad Cities

Nuclear Power Station to review cracks which have been found in one of the Unit 2 reactor

components. The two-unit facility is operated by Exelon Generation Co. at Cordova, Illinois.

On June 12 the utility found cracks in a portion of the Unit 2 steam dryer, which is located

inside the reactor vessel above the steam separator and the reactor fuel. The plant had been shut down

to investigate the cause of moisture in the steam piped to drive the turbine-generator. The function of

the steam dryer is to remove moisture from the steam before it leaves the reactor.

There was no release of radioactivity associated with the steam dryer problem and no hazard to

plant workers or the public.

Unit 1 at the Quad Cities plant remains in operation. There has been no evidence of cracks in

the Unit 1 steam dryer.

The NRC team includes inspectors from the Region III Office in Lisle, Illinois, metallugical

specialists from NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, and the NRC resident inspector assigned

to the Quad Cities plant. The team will review the causes of the dryer cracks and evaluate the utility’s

repair plans. It will also consider the potential for the cracking problem to occur at similar nuclear

plants.

The inspection team will issue a report about 30 days after the completion of the inspection. It

will be available from the Region III Office of Public Affairs or on the NRC web site in the ADAMS

electronic document collection at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/web-based.html. Help in

using ADAMS is available from the NRC’s Public Document Room at 800/397-4209.

NRC SEEKS PUBLIC COMMENT ON USE OF ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

IN ITS ENFORCEMENT POLICY

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is seeking public comment on the possible use of

alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in its enforcement policy.

ADR can involve the use of a neutral third party to resolve conflicts that can include facilitated

discussion, mediation, fact-finding, mini-trials and arbitration. The Environmental Protection Agency,

the U.S. Navy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission have used these techniques effectively. 

The NRC is considering using ADR in its enforcement policy.

In considering the possible use of ADR, the agency has identified a number of issues that must

be evaluated. These include the point at which it would be appropriate to use ADR in the enforcement

process and the possible implications for the confidentiality of settlement discussions in a process that

has generally been conducted openly.

In order for the staff to evaluate whether, and how ADR should be used, the staff has prepared a

list of questions it is seeking public comment on. The list of questions will be published in an

upcoming edition of the Federal Register and may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room,

One White Flint North building, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland.

Written comments may be sent to Michael Lesar, Chief, Rules and Directives Branch, Division

of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, Mail Stop T-6D59, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001. Comments may also be submitted to Mr. Lesar via e-mail

at: MTL@NRC.GOV. All comments should be submitted within 45 days of publication of the Federal

Register notice.

CHAIRMAN MESERVE ELECTED TO NATIONAL ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING

The National Academy of Engineering has elected Richard A. Meserve, Chairman of the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, to Academy membership.

Dr. Meserve was elected specifically “for leadership in the development of national and

international programs for strengthening nuclear safety and safeguards,” the National Academy declared

in a statement today. Membership is considered among the highest professional distinctions accorded to

an engineer.

Dr. Meserve was one of 77 newly elected members to the National Academy from the United

States and abroad. He became Chairman of the NRC in October 1999 and has announced plans to leave

the agency on March 31 to take over as president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Dr. Meserve earned a B.A. from Tufts University in 1966, a J.D. from Harvard Law School in

1975, and a Ph.D. in applied physics from Stanford University in 1976.
