The patient received a permanent implant of 64 I-125 seeds on 5-11-09. The total activity implanted was 28.422 mCi. (.444mCi/seed). The prescribed dose to the prostate was 144.0 Gy. The post-plan CT was evaluated 5-12-09 and determined that the prostate volume receiving the prescribed dose was 47% (i.e. V100%=47%) resulting in a 53 percent under dose of the prescribed dose. The patient and physician have been notified. ODH BRP will continue to evaluate this event. The licensee has initiated an internal evaluation." A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient. | Power Reactor | Event Number: 45075 | Facility: VOGTLE Region: 2 State: GA Unit: [1] [2] [ ] RX Type: [1] W-4-LP,[2] W-4-LP NRC Notified By: MATTHEW NORRIS HQ OPS Officer: JOE O'HARA | Notification Date: 05/17/2009 Notification Time: 14:29 [ET] Event Date: 05/17/2009 Event Time: 09:21 [EDT] Last Update Date: 05/19/2009 | Emergency Class: NON EMERGENCY 10 CFR Section: 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) - LOSS COMM/ASMT/RESPONSE | Person (Organization): JAY HENSON (R2DO) | Unit | SCRAM Code | RX CRIT | Initial PWR | Initial RX Mode | Current PWR | Current RX Mode | 1 | N | Y | 100 | Power Operation | 100 | Power Operation | 2 | N | Y | 100 | Power Operation | 100 | Power Operation | Event Text TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER OUT OF SERVICE DUE LOSS OF EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR "A condition is being reported per Technical Requirements Manual 13.13.1 Emergency Response Facilities Required Action B.2. The Functionality of the Technical Support Center (TSC) has been lost due to failure of the Backup Diesel Generator (which provides backup power to TSC related equipment) to pass a required surveillance. Alternate facilities are available to provide emergency response functions and actions are proceeding to return the TSC to FUNCTIONAL status with high priority. The NRC Resident Inspector Tim Chandler has been notified." * * * UPDATE ON 5/19/09 AT 1615 FROM ROBERT ROWLAND TO VINCE KLCO * * * At 1559 the Backup Diesel Generator was declared operable. The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.

During the 10B014 bus outage work activities, temporary power will be supplied to maintain all TSC facility equipment functional with the exception of TSC Normal and Emergency Ventilation. The TSC Supply, Exhaust and HEPA Filter fans will be de-energized, rendering the TSC HVAC non-functional while planned maintenance activities are in progress. This maintenance is scheduled to be worked continuously until completion to minimize out of service time. The planned TSC ventilation outage is scheduled to be completed within 48 hours, including a total of 5 hours to establish and remove the clearances. If an emergency is declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC will be staffed and activated using existing EP procedures and checklists. It will take no more than 4 hours to return the Ventilation system back to an operable status, dependent on the stage of the work at the time the emergency occurs. If radiological conditions require TSC facility evacuation during ventilation system restoration, the Station Emergency Director will evacuate and relocate the TSC staff in accordance with, EP-AA-112-200-F-01. "The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified." * * * UPDATE FROM BRAD KIRKMON TO HOWIE CROUCH @ 0400 EDT ON 5/20/09 * * * "This is a follow-up courtesy notification to EN# 45076. All scheduled work to the Unit 1 480VAC Load Center 10B014 is complete, with [the] exception of relay trip testing. Bus restoration has been delayed due to differences between the newly installed transformer and the old transformer, which required changes to the clearance. TSC facility restoration to normal power, including Normal and Emergency Ventilation system operation, is scheduled to occur on 5/20/09 day shift. "The [NRC] Resident Inspector has been notified."
