PLANNED TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER (TSC) MODIFICATION
"This is an eight-hour, non-emergency notification for a loss of emergency assessment capability. This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) because the work activity affects the functionality of an emergency response facility.
"A planned modification to the Technical Support Center (TSC) ventilation system started on April 2, 2018. The work activity includes replacement of the air conditioning system. The work duration is approximately three weeks.
"If an emergency is declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC will be staffed and activated using existing emergency planning procedures unless the TSC becomes uninhabitable due to ambient temperature, radiological, or other conditions. If relocation of the TSC becomes necessary, the Emergency Coordinator will relocate the TSC staff to an alternate location in accordance with applicable site procedures. The Emergency Response Organization team has been notified of the TSC modifications and the possible need to relocate during an emergency.
"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING GENERALLY LICENSED AM-241 SOURCE
The following information was received via E-mail:
"On 4/2/18, while conducting an inventory at Aladdin Temp-rite LLC, the licensee discovered that one of their generally licensed devices was missing. The device information includes the following:
"Manufacturer: Amersham
Model: AMCP6
Model #: 103
Serial #: 11070
Isotope: Am-241 (150 mCi)
"A follow-up report will be submitted within 30 days."
State Event Report ID No.: TN-18-064
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RECEIVED DOSE LESS THAN PRESCRIBED DOSE
The following was received via email from the state of California:
"A medical event per 10 CFR 35.3045 was determined to have occurred on April 2, 2018 during a University of California San Diego (UCSD) Y-90 liver therapy procedure. The total delivered dosage was greater than 20 percent less than the prescribed dosage.
"The authorized user prescribed MDS Nordion Theraspheres Y-90 activity of 22.7 mCi to be delivered to the left lobe of the patient's liver. During the medical procedure, blockage occurred in the delivery apparatus, and the authorized user was unable to complete the administration of the Y-90 Therasphere dosage. Post-procedural dosage vial chamber measurements were performed that indicated only 32.5 percent (7.4 mCi) of the prescribed Y-90 dosage was delivered.
"An MDS Nordion representative was observing the procedure.
"The UCSD campus Radiation Safety office was notified that the administration resulted in a medical event and the California Radiation Health Branch was notified. The patient and their referring physician were notified on April 2, 2018. The patient will be scheduled for another Therasphere administration in the near future to complete the treatment plan."
California 5010 Number: 040218
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.
