AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP ON OVER TEMPERATURE DELTA TEMPERATURE
"At 1554 EDT on 5/3/19, with Unit 1 in Mode 1 at approximately 100 percent power, the reactor automatically tripped on Over Temperature Delta Temperature following a pressure transient in the Reactor Coolant System. The trip was uncomplicated with all systems responding normally post trip. Operations manually started the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps and has stabilized the plant. Decay heat is being removed by the condenser. Unit 2 is not affected.
"Due to Reactor Protection System actuation while critical and actuation of the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps, this event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B) and an 8-hour non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).
"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
Unit 1 is in a normal electrical lineup.
Prior to the automatic trip, the backup pressurizer heaters were in service as is normal during power ascension. The pressure transient started when the backup heaters were in the process of being removed from service.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - Y-90 UNDERDOSAGE REPORT
The following was received via e-mail:
"At 1138 PDT on 05/03/2019, the [California Radiation Control Program] received a phone call from the licensee's [Radiation Safety Officer] RSO providing the initial report on a Y-90 radioembolization underdose. Only 76 percent of the planned dose was provided to the organ of interest with the rest having leaked out because of a faulty stopcock assembly. The leak area was contained and cleaned up. All decontamination is complete and the only effect is the underdose to the patient."
CA 5010 Number: 050319
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.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - BROKEN SHUTTER
The following was received via e-mail:
"On May 3, 2019, the Department [South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control] was notified by the licensee that a shutter had broken on one of its gauges while attempting to close the shutter because of a sprinkler failure that was soaking the area where the gauge was mounted. The gauge is a Kay-Ray Model 70628 containing 10 mCi of Cesium 137. The licensee has contacted Systems Services who is specifically licensed to repair the damaged shutter. The [Radiation Safety Officer] RSO stated that he has performed a radiation survey around the gauge where individuals normally work and the radiation readings are background. Access to the gauge has been restricted and the area has been roped off by the RSO until the service provider comes to fix the shutter. The service provider is scheduled to come May 7, 2019."
