DAMAGED CONTROL ROOM DOOR SEAL
"Declared both trains of Control Room Emergency Recirc inoperable, entered Tech Spec 3.0.3 from Tech Spec 3.7.3 on loss of Control Room boundary. A damaged door seal leading from the Control Complex to the Service building caused the loss of the Control room boundary. Door was closed and temporarily sealed per SOI-M25/26. Exited Tech Spec 3.0.3 at 00:15 on 10/29/02."
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
**** RETRACTION on 11/21/02 at 1717EST by Ken Russell taken by MacKinnon ****
Evaluation determined that the door seal leakage was bounded by a calculation for degraded Control Room door seals that determined the maximum leakage allowed by the analysis in the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) would not be exceeded even if the entire seal was removed. Therefore, it has been concluded that the Control Room boundary was not lost and this was not a condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function.
As indicated in the original notification, entry was made into Technical Specification 3.0.3 as a result of the assumed loss of Control Room Emergency Recirculation. However, the condition was corrected within one hour, such that it was not necessary to initiate actions to shutdown and thus this condition was not reported per 10CFR50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), a condition which was prohibited by the plant's Technical Specification. R3DO (Brent Clayton) notified.
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN NUCLEAR DENSITY GAUGE
"A company technician returned to the office at 6:30 a.m. after an extended job in Brundidge, Alabama. He was in the office to return to operations at the Dallas, office and was beginning to unload his truck and return his equipment to the office. He unlocked his gauge (Troxler Model 3411B, Serial # 6819) and placed it on the tailgate of the truck. He walked into the office to get a chain and lock to secure the gauge in the company storage cabinet. He walked back to the truck to get the gauge and discovered that the gauge and the concrete air meter were missing from the truck. He contacted the dispatcher, who had not yet arrived at the office, to notify the company RSO. Notifications were made to the Bureau of Radiation Control, the Dallas Police Department (Police Report # 823204L - a copy has not been received yet), and three local nuclear gauge repair centers (Richardson & Associated, Component Sales - Houston, and Troxler Labs, Arlington). The gauge has not been located. Source Serial #'s are: Cs-137, 10 millicuries, S/N CC3975, and AmBE-241, 40 millicuries, S/N CCA3132. The BRC is still investigating the incident."

FOLLOW-UP PATIENT GIVEN INCORRECT PREP DRUG
Woodward Regional Hospital was doing an Iodine-131 follow-up scan for residual Thyroid on cancer patient. A nurse injected the patient with the incorrect prep drug, non radioactive drug, prior to the patient being administered 4 millicuries of Iodine-131. The caller believes that the patient was given the incorrect prep drug on October 28, 2002 and today, October 29, 2002, was administered the 4 millicuries of Iodine-131 before given the scan. After the scan was performed it was discovered that the patient was given the incorrect prep drug for the scan. The State of Oklahoma is investigating this event.
