NRC to Evaluate Radiation Release at National Institute of Standards and Technology
Nuclear Regulatory Commission - News Release
No: 21-008 February 8, 2021

NRC to Evaluate Radiation Release at National Institute of Standards and Technology
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will conduct a special inspection to evaluate the cause of a radiation release and limited worker contamination at the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s research reactor in Gaithersburg, Md.
NIST notified the NRC the morning of Feb. 3 of an emergency during startup of the reactor, where radioactive material was released inside the reactor building. Six workers were initially contaminated during the event, and four additional workers were mildly contaminated while responding later in the day. All the workers were decontaminated and cleared to return home the same day. While a small amount of radioactive material reached the environment, available information continues to show the public near the NIST facility remains safe, as the release was under regulatory limits.
Two inspectors from NRC headquarters in Rockville, Md., will begin this inspection Feb. 9, supplemented with additional inspectors as needed. They will evaluate the adequacy of NIST’s response to the situation, NIST’s determination of the root cause of the event and NIST’s corrective actions. The inspectors will also review radiation monitoring data and determine if there are generic implications for similar facilities. The inspectors will follow all applicable guidelines related to the COVID-19 public health emergency during their activities.
The inspectors will prepare a written report that will be issued approximately 30 days following completion of the inspection. The report will be publicly available through the NRC’s electronic document database, ADAMS. Help in using ADAMS is available through the NRC Public Document Room by calling 1-800-397-4209.

TMI accident records placed in NRC"s online electronic library
Within the past year or so, the NRC has placed thousands of old records into ADAMS, its online digital library. These records had existed on microfiche and were accessible by visiting the NRC"s Public Document Room or one of its Local Public Document Rooms.
Among the records now available in digital form (i.e., PDFs) are lots of records on the March 1979 accident at Three Mile Island.
Attached is a query that can be used to access these recorfds.
Here's how to use this query to access the records:
1) Save the attached file to your computer
2) Go to the NRC"s website at www.nrc.gov
3) Click the NRC LIBRARY tab towards the upper right
4) Click the ADAMS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS link at the lower middle screen
5) Click the BEGIN WBA SEARCH link on the right side of the screen
6) Click the CONTENT SEARCH tab to the upper left of the screen
7) Click the LOAD QUERY tab just below the CONTENT SEARCH tab
8) Click the button with the three dots in it on the right end of the pop-up box
9) Navigate to where the saved file was stored on your computer and select it as the FILE NAME to open
10) With that file name now appearing in the LOAD SAVED QUERY pop-up box, click OK
11) Click the darker blue SEARCH button towards the upper middle portion of the screen
Nearly 1000 records will be returned.
Individual records can be viewed/downloaded from the listed records.
This query was for records on Three Mile Island Unit 2 dated between 3/1/1979 and 12/31/1979 that were placed in ADAMS since 12/31/2019 that contain the word "radiological."
One can replace "radiological" in the DOCUMENT CONTENT search box with other items of interest and then click the dark blue SEARCH button.
"Chronology" and "RIckover" and "transcript" yielded lots of records.
