TEST LAB FAILED TO IDENTIFY POSITIVE SAMPLES
"Per 10 CFR 26.719 section (c)(2) the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is making this notification of an apparent false positive error that has occurred on a blind performance test sample submitted to the Health and Human Services (HHS)-certified laboratory used for drug testing.
"On February 27, 2013, OPPD was notified that two positive drug samples that were part of a blind performance test package provided by Professional Toxicology and submitted to Clinical Reference Laboratory tested negative. Currently Professional Toxicology indicates that the two positive samples were provided with the NRC required positive levels for the drug.
"OPPD will investigate the issue and report to the NRC as required by part 26.719(c)(1). Professional Toxicology and Clinical Reference Laboratory are contracted by OPPD as required by NRC regulations to provide fitness for duty services."
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
* * * RETRACTION AT 1640 EST ON 3/8/2013 FROM MICHAEL PEAK TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * *
"Additional investigation has determined that the samples submitted by Professional Toxicology did not contain the required levels of the drug being tested. The analysis performed by Clinical Reference Laboratory was correct. There was not a reportable condition per 10 CFR 26.719. Therefore, this report is being retracted."
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. Notified the R4DO (Powers).

PATIENT RECEIVED LESS THAN PRESCRIBED DOSE TO LIVER
The following was received via fax from the Commonwealth of Virginia:
"On February 27, 2013, a patient was treated with Y-90 microspheres (SIRTeX SIR-Spheres) for a liver lesion. The prescribed activity was 11.3 millicuries. Measurements of the residual activity in the delivery system indicated only 8.4 millicuries was delivered to the patient, resulting in a total dose differing from the prescribed dose by 25.9 percent. Notifications were made to the referring physician and patient. The licensee will submit a written report of the event within 15 days."

PLANNED MAINTENANCE ON UNIT 2 PLANT PROCESS COMPUTER
"Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant will perform planned maintenance on the Unit 2 Plant Process Computer (PPC) and associated network infrastructure starting on February 27, 2013. The maintenance will remove the Unit 2 PPC for a planned duration of 5 days and will render the Unit 2 ERDS out of service for this timeframe. The current outage schedule has power being restored on 03/04/2013.
"Should an emergency be declared during this period, the Control Room will continue to have the capability to retrieve plant data inputs to assess plant conditions and perform core damage assessment at all times. Control Room Emergency Response personnel will use emergency response procedures to disseminate plant parameter data points to the effected Emergency Response Facilities until the U-2 PPC is restored. MIDAS (Meteorological Data) transmission will remain functional during the maintenance window. The Unit 2 ERDS data will not be available during the power outage from 02/27/2013 to 03/04/2013.
"All work associated with this plant data network software installation will be performed in an expeditious manner consistent with the goal of minimizing unavailability of the systems listed above. ERDS was functionally tested before the outage and will be in service as soon as power is restored."
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
