| Occurrence Description: | This occurrence is a continuation of the chlorine exceedance reported in EM-OH-MCP-BWO-BWO05-2006-0003 on June 13, 2006.The fecal coliform daily limit, 2000#/100ml, was then exceeded at Outfall 001 on June 14, 2006. The sample containing the high fecal coliform was taken at 9:30 a.m., June 14, 2006, at the sanitary treatment plant. The lab report was received late in the afternoon on July 6, 2006. Since this is a weekly grab sample and the plant was running in normal operation for the next two weeks, the exact extent or time of the exceedance is not easily determined. Steps are being taken to reduce, eliminate, and/or prevent exceedances of this nature. The manufacturer of the package plant has been on site and evaluated operation and maintenance procedures. Changes are being implemented to balance the chlorination/dechlorination content. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | The flat lid of a Solid Waste
Box (SWB) fell about 3-1/2 feet to the floor when the swivel hoist ring (a
type of eye-bolt) threads failed. The lid grazed the right forearm (near
the wrist) of a Solid Waste Operator who was stabilizing the lid when the
swivel hoist ring attachment failed. The standard practice for handling SWB lids was followed in this event. The SWB is mounted on two piano dollies and rolled under the monorail hoist frame, the hoist hook is attached, and the lid is then lifted free of the SWB. After the SWB is rolled away for loading the lid is lowered onto a table under the hoist. The lid is flat sheet metal weighing 120-pounds with straight edges along the length and semi-circular ends. When the loaded SWB is returned, the lid is hoisted from the table high enough to clear the SWB and the SWB is rolled under. The swivel hoist ring failed after the lid was lifted off the table and as the Operator was holding the lid but before the SWB was rolled underneath. In falling, the lid scratched the operator's forearm before landing on the floor. As a standard practice, the operators were careful to ensure everyone was clear of the lid during handling. The SWB was also clear. The supervisor was present during the event and initiated notifications. The scratched operator received medical evaluation and was released for return to work. Alternate lid handling methods will be used pending resolution of the swivel hoist ring failure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Immediate Action(s): | 1. The SWB lid was inspected for
damage and then manually re-installed with concurrence from PFP Industrial
Safety. 2. The Solid Waste Operator whose forearm was grazed by the lid was evaluated at Advance Medical Hanford and released for return to work with no restrictions. 3. A critique meeting was held to establish the facts surrouding the event. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| FM Evaluation: | The Actek brand swivel hoist
ring is model 46100-SPE=.29". The threads on the ring in this event
appeared to have been stretched. The PFP has no criteria for the number of
times the swivel hoist rings are reused. Many dozens of SWBs have been
handled in accordance with the standard practice with no previous ring
failures. The swivel hoist ring has 1/4-20 threads and a thread projection of 0.29-inches. The ring carries a manufacturer stamp that lists the torque value of 6 pound-feet. When installed into the lid, the bolt is torqued to the stamped value. The manufacturer information states the swivel hoist ring is rated to have a 600-pound capacity and is tested to 200 percent of that value. The PFP practice is to install and torque the swivel hoist ring into the lid in advance (two days before in this event). The lid has a threaded hole in the center for the swivel hoist ring. The threads in the lid mount point did not appear to have significant damage. The SWB storage container is 36-3/16" high x 71" wide x 54-1/2" deep. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | At 1800 hours on July 20, 2006,
a cable broke on subcontractor shuttle truck #844 while loading a full
container in the 100 F Remediation Container Transfer Area (CTA). There
were no personnel in the area. The driver of the truck was in the cab
operating the controls and was not in any danger from the container or
cable. None of the container contents were spilled. The driver secured the equipment and contacted the Subcontractor's Second Shift Superintendent via the truck radio. The Subcontractor's Superintendent advised the driver to secure and hold his position. The Subcontractor's Superintendent and the Washington Closure Hanford (WCH) Second Shift Subcontract Technical Representative arrived at 100 F CTA at 1830 hours. The driver explained that while he was loading container # 347, the container hung up approximately six feet up the lift frame. He stopped and let the container back down about a foot. When he engaged the hoist cable again, the cable broke and the can rolled off the frame. The container traveled approximately six and one half feet on the ground and came into contact with container # 505. No damage to either container could be identified. During the investigation, track marks (deep gouges), from the cable, were found embedded on the passenger side of the lift frame. The third roller, from the rear of the lift frame, was also slightly bent upward. Based on the track marks found and the bent roller, the cable was under the roller when the attempt was made to load this container, causing the failure to the cable. On July 24, 2006, the truck was inspected by the Subcontractor's Project Superintendent, Maintenance Superintendent, Environmental Restoration Disposal Facility (ERDF) Operations Manager, and WCH Craft Supervisor. Based on these inspections, it was clear that the cable broke due to the cable being under the roller when the attempt was made to load this container. The incident was evaluated/reviewed with the Waste Operations Project Director, ERDF Operations Manager, and Subcontracts Manager. WCH Management decided to categorize the event as a Category 10(2). The event was categorized as an SC-4 because the clear cause of the event. The WCH Single Point of Contact (SPOC) was contacted on July 24, 2006 at 1050 hrs to begin the report notification. The DOE Facility Representative was notified on July 24, 2006 at 1105 hrs of WCH's decision to issue this report. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | On July 18, 2006 two items were
removed from AL-R8 Sealed Insert containers (AL-R8 SIs) in order to
complete require surveillance activities on the items. Removal of the
items from the AL-R8 SIs and surveillance activities were performed
utilizing Operating Procedure P7-0451. Once the surveillance activities
were complete the items were placed into AL-R8s (interplant containers)
also utilizing P7-0451. All radiation-monitoring requirements for the
items were detailed in P7-0451 and were executed during the operations.
The items were then moved from one 12-64 bay to another 12-64 bay
utilizing Operating Procedure P7-5080 for repackaging into AL-R8 SIs.
Following movement of the items, Radiation Safety was notified to perform
monitoring of the items as required by P7-0549, which is the procedure
that would be utilized to package the items in an AL-R8 SIs. After this
notification Radiation Safety raised a question about the
radiation-monitoring requirement that was not performed on the items
during transit between facilities. There was no requirement in the
approved operating procedure utilized for this operation (P7-5080) to
monitor the items while being moved between facilities in the AL-R8s
(interplant containers). A critique held on July 19 and reconvened on July 20 gathered pertinent information on the issue, which showed the in transit monitoring requirement of items in AL-R8s (interplant containers) is contained in an Engineering Instruction (PE04-015) that is referenced by Design Agency Document SIER 20041184LA. The items had been moved from originating 12-64 bay to 12-64 destination bay without this requirement for monitoring performed. Radiation Safety Technicians monitored the items following their arrival at the repackaging facility with no concerns detected. Operations were suspended with the items in a Safe and Stable configuration and there are no safety or quality concerns. Proper notifications were made to the Operations Center and NNSA Facility Representative. There were no personnel injuries or damage done to plant equipment as a result of this event. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | Between June 6, 2006 and July
20, 2006, six manlifts were found to have suspect/counterfeit bolts on
them. All bolts which were determined to be either suspect or counterfeit
were found during normal preventive maintenance inspections and have been
collected for future final disposition by proper corporate compliance
personnel. The IG has not been notified by Sandia National Laboratories
personnel. There were not failures associated with these items. The bolts
were found in a variety of applications on the manlifts. The bolts were
found on the following manlifts, listed along with dates and times of
initial notifications: Genie 1997, manlift -- original notification 6/6/2006 - 1610 Bolts found at castors; tile back platform; out rigger and mounting bolts; pot hole protection mounting; stabilizer mounting 1 ea - KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 3/8" thread X 1" long - grade 5 6 ea - KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 3/4" long - grade 5 2 ea - KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1" long - Grade 5 2 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 4 1/2" long - Grade 5 4 ea - KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 2 " long - Grade 5 Tiger 1980 manlift -- original notification 6/14/2006 - 0949 Bolts found at Basket/bucket mounting; handrails/kick borads/gate/gate locks; platform/decking ; power track mounts; steer knuckles; rotating group/turntable/platform/basket/bucket; hoods/doors/swing out compartments; slides/hinges/wear pad mountings; all pin retainer bolts 1 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1/2" long - grade 5 8 ea - no headmarking - 3/4" thread X 1 1/4" long - Grade 5 30 ea - no headmarking - 3/8" thread X 1 " long - Grade 5 9 ea - no headmarking - 3/8" thread X 1 1/4" long - grade 5 6 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 " long - grade 5 2 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 1/2" long - grade 5 4 ea - no headmarking 3/8" thread X 3/4" long - Grade 5 25 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 3/4" long - Grade 8 2 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 2 1/2" long - Grade 5 14 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 1/2" long - Grade 5 1 ea - no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 3/4" long - Grade 5 Skyclimber 1984 manlift -- original notification 6/14/2006 Bolts found at tank mounts/fuel/oil/ foilter mount; steer knuckles; hoods, doors, swing out compartments; all pin retainers; cylinder mounts, two piece wheel bolts; accumulator mounting bolts 2 ea no headmarking - 1/2" thread X 2" long - Grade 5 2 ea no headmarking - 3/8" thread X 1 1/4" long - Grade 5 12 eaKS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 2 " long - Grade 5 1 ea no headmarking - 1/2" thread X 5 3/4" long - grade 5 9 ea KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1" long - grade 5 4 ea no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 3/4" long - Grade 5 4 ea no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 1/2" long - grade 5 32 ea no headmarking - 3/8" thread X 1" long - Grade 5 4 ea no headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1/2" long - Grade 5 2 ea KS (Kosaka Kogyo) headmarking - 1/4" thread X 1 1/2" long - Grade 5 Hi-Ranger 1992 bucket truck -- original notification 6/22/2006 - 1502 Bolts found at basket/bucket mounting; chain/cable anchor points/pulley sleeve 2 ea - no headmarking - 3/4" thread X 2 1/2" long - Grade 5 2 ea - FM (Fastener Co. of Japan) headmarking - 3/4" thread X 5" long - grade 5 Versalift 1977 bucket truck -- original notification 7/20/2006 -- 0828 (Note: this Versalift unit was originally reported as a 1997 model.)

| Immediate Action(s): | When each manlift was originally found to have the potential of suspect/counterfeit bolts on them, all proper early notifications were immediately made to DOE and Sandia National Laboratories' management. As appropriate, the manlifts were placed out of service and, if necessary, removed from the field to replace the bolts. In other cases, the bolts were replaced either at the time of first observation or as maintenance operations allowed, but always in a manner to allow continued service in a safe manner. All bolts were collected for examination by a subject matter expert to confirm the nature of the bolts. (During earlier examination on a forklift from a similar inspection, other bolts which were initially thought to be suspect/counterfeit by the mechanics and other non-SMEs were determined to be proper, authorized fasteners). After examination by the SME, the bolts from the manlifts listed were determined to be actual suspect/counterfeit in nature. (Note: additional bolts which were also taken from the manlifts that were initially thought to be S/C and were determined to be proper authorized fasteners are not listed in this report. Also, three manlifts with bolts initially thought to be S/C were determined to be proper fasteners. These three manlifts are not listed in this report.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | Bye the end of August, an Electrical Safety Interlock was defeated and left in defeated condition for an extended period of time. Equipment owner was performing diagnostics on Mass Spec-2 under an Electrical Work Safety Plan signed by the Group Manager in August 2005. Defeat of the cabinet interlock was necessary to perform the diagnostic work, but was not specifically stated in the plan. The electrical safety by-pass was not returned to its safe condition until 12/2005, when the equipment manufacturer's representative was brought on site for further diagnostics. The back panel of the Mass Spec is located in a relatively inaccessible place, the back panel was closed, and a "Danger High Voltage" sign was posted during the time the interlock was by-passed. The area has controlled access via WebCAT. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Occurrence Description: | On 7/20/06, during work to connect the Cold Source hydrogen transfer line to the test heater, a transfer line cable tray support became disconnected from the wall. The anchors that held the cable tray support to the alcove wall were pulled out of the concrete. The support and a short cable tray section slid approximately 3 feet down the transfer line. The support and the short cable tray section weigh approximately 125 lbs. No personnel were injured, and the transfer line, cable tray, and support were not damaged. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Activity Category: | Normal Operations (other than Activities specifically listed in this Category) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Immediate Action(s): | A critique was held on 7/21/06
with personnel who were on the job. All aspects of the job were reviewed
and a series of actions were established that led to an understanding of
why the support became disconnected from the wall and to communicate
lessons learned. A review of the drawings and the work package revealed that the length of the bolt specified for the anchor was inadequate. Installation of this and other hangers is still in the construction phase; therefore, not all post installation testing and reviews have been completed. A review of other similar anchor bolt installations will be conducted. This and any other inadequate bolt installations will be repaired. These actions will be tracked in the Laboratory's Assessment and Commitment Tracking System (ACTS). A lessons learned communication was promulgated on 7/21/06. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
