HPCI SYSTEM ISOLATED DUE TO ATTS CARD FAILURE

"HPCI (High Pressure Coolant Injection) isolation rendered the HPCI system inoperable. An ATTS card 2E41-N658B, for HPCI steam line low pressure, failed. Concurrent with this card failure was several annunciators, one of which was 'HPCI Steam Line Diff. Press High'. One HPCI steam line low pressure card failing or tripping will not cause a HPCI isolation, but one HPCI steam line differential press high trip condition (indication of high flow) will cause an isolation. Both of these cards are fed from the same power supply. Investigation to confirm the isolation cause is in progress."

Licensee indicated 2E41-F003, outboard isolation valve, auto closed and 2E41-F002, inboard isolation valve was manually closed.

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

"The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified (telephone) on February 3, 2006, by the licensee, that a medical misadministration had occurred. A patient who was scheduled for an Iodine-131 whole body scan (~4 millicuries) was administered an Iodine-131 therapy dose of 200 millicuries instead. This event took place on January 16, 2006, but was not discovered by the Nuclear Medicine Department until February 2, 2006. The Nuc. Med. Dept. notified the Radiation Safety Office on February 3, 2006.
