AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP FROM FULL POWER
"At 1419 EDT on 7/24/2013, the reactor tripped due to a reactor protection system (RPS) actuation signal from a turbine trip, which was caused by a generator trip. All control rods inserted on the trip and reactor coolant system (RCS) pressure is currently 2235 psig and stable with RCS temperature stable at 547 degrees F. Decay heat is being removed by steam dumps [to the main condenser] and auxiliary feedwater which auto started as expected.
"The cause of the generator trip is under investigation. The plant will remain in Mode 3 until the cause of the trip is determined.
"The plant notified the NRC Resident Inspector."

MEDICAL MISADMINISTRATION DURING IODINE 125 SEED IMPLANTATION
During a medical procedure to implant 70 Iodine-125 seeds (0.4 mCi each) into the prostate, 20 were implanted into the bladder. The 20 implanted into the bladder were recovered during the procedure. There was no effect to the patient. The patient and prescribing physician have been notified. The licensee is working on corrective actions to prevent a recurrence.
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.
