| Event Text THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION ADMINISTERED AN UNDERDOSE DURING A THERAPEUTIC TREATMENT
During a therapeutic procedure using I-125 Gliasite from 2/28 - 3/1, the state licensee administered an under dose of 24%. The therapist calculated a dwell time of only 97 hours when the prescribed dwell time was 120 hrs for treating a brain tumor. This resulted in the patient receiving 5,300 rads instead of the prescribed 7,000 rads. Both the patient and the referring physician were notified. The licensee will make up for the under dosage by using a linear accelerator. |

"Monticello Nuclear Generating plant is making a voluntary report with regard to the Technical Support Center (TSC) not meeting design criteria Subsection 8.2-1.f of Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737. This specifies that the TSC will be provided with radiological protection necessary to assure that the radiation exposure to any person working in the TSC would not exceed 5 REM whole body (or its equivalent part of the body) for the duration of the accident.
"During review of the calculations associated with an on-going Alternative Source Term project, plant staff identified the potential for a radiation shine path to exist from the reactor building to the TSC during a DBA [Design Basis Accident] - Loss of Coolant Accident [LOCA], that could result in radiation levels reaching a point dictating evacuation of the TSC under existing emergency plan procedures.
"As required by NUREG-0696 and confirmed by the plant staff, existing procedural guidance directs personnel to evacuate to the back-up TSC (located in the EOF) if the TSC cannot be occupied continuously.
"The NRC resident has been informed of this discovery.'
The licensee is continuing their assessment and will determine the appropriate corrective actions. | |
