The following is a synopsis of information received via E-mail:
St. Vincent Medical Center in Fernandina Beach, Florida (License Number: 0014-8) received five (5) doses of Technicium-99 on the morning of April 16, 2018 from Cardinal Health in Jacksonville, Florida. Portions of the dose were used on patients. Later that day, the remainder of the unused doses were placed in a 'lock box' which was located outside the building. The doses were to be picked up and returned to Cardinal Health. This morning, April 23, 2018, the driver from Cardinal Health went to retrieve the doses and found the lock box had been broken into and the Tc-99 doses had been removed. The Fernandina Police were notified (report #2018-00007035).
The activity of the Tc-99 is estimated to be 30 to 40 mCi.
Florida Incident Number: FL18-053
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.

A helicopter went down carrying two Americium sources totaling 11 microCuries. The crash site was searched but the sources were not located. The sources were declared lost, possibly buried at the crash site. The crash site is located within a firing range and personnel are not expected to be exposed. A written report will be submitted to the NRC.

"At 1551 hrs [CDT] on 5/1/2018, with the plant in Mode 5, a division one Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV) Level 1 signal was received; however there was no actual change in RPV level. RPV Level remained at High Water Level supporting refuel operations. This caused an actuation of division one Load Shed and Sequencing system that shed and then re-energized the 15 bus. Division one diesel generator started from standby. Residual Heat Removal pump 'A', which was in shutdown cooling mode, was lost during the bus shed, and was re-sequenced upon re-energization of the 15 bus. Upon restoration of shutdown cooling, the RHR pump discharged into the RPV. RCS temperature increased approximately 5 degrees Fahrenheit as a result of the loss of shutdown cooling. The cause of the actuation signal is under investigation. In accordance with NUREG 1022, Event Reporting Guidelines, this event is conservatively reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(A) as an event that results in emergency core cooling system discharge into the RCS as a result of a valid signal, under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(B)(8) as an event that results in the actuation of emergency ac electrical power systems, and under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(B) as an event or condition that at the time of discovery could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function (remove residual heat)."
