| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - OVEREXPOSURE OF INDIVIDUAL |
| |
| The following information was received via email in the NRC Operations |
| Center: |
| |
| Licensee: Professional Service Industries, Inc. |
| City and state: Seattle, WA |
| License number: WN-IR021-1 |
| Type of license: Radiography |
| Date of Event: December 16, 1998 |
| Location of Event: Seattle, WA |
| |
| ABSTRACT: The licensee had set up for a series of 2 minute ceiling shots in |
| the parking garage of an office building in Seattle. One radiographer |
| monitored the floor above the parking garage while the shot took place. |
| It is not clear at this time why or how, but two contractor employees were |
| inside the parking garage with the second radiographer during the shots. |
| During one shot the radiographer was talking with the contractor employees. |
| Apparently, one of the contractor employees walked away and, for reasons not |
| known at this time, approached the source collimator. The contractor |
| employee's actions caused the collimator to become |
| dislodged from the source guide tube. The contractor employee reassembled |
| the source and guide tube at the same time that the radiographer became |
| aware of the situation. The radiographer immediately shouted a warning and |
| ran to crank in the source. The licensee RSO was notified and radiography |
| operations were suspended. The licensee began an immediate investigation, |
| including a re-enactment, and notified the state radiation control program. |
| Preliminary dose estimates for the extremities range from 600 to 1700 REM. |
| The whole body exposure is estimated to be approximately 50 REM. The |
| overexposed individual's physician has already contacted REAC/TS. An |
| investigation team from the state radiation control program is on site. |
| |
| Activity and Isotope(s) involved: 60 Curies of Iridium-192. |

| |
| "Preliminary dose estimates for the extremities ranged from 600 to 1700 cSv |
| (rem). The whole body exposure was initially estimated to be approximately |
| 50 cSv (rem). An investigation team from the state radiation control |
| program went to the site. The Washington Radiation Control Program |
| estimated that the individual received less than or equal to 5 cSv (rem) |
| whole body, 680 cSv (rem) to the right thumb, 100 cSv (rem) to the right |
| index finger, and 170 cSv (rem) to the palm of the left hand. A cytogenetic |
| study verified that the whole body dose was in the range of less than 1 to |
| 15 cSv (rem). No physical signs of radiation damage to the contractor |
| employee's hands were observed during the weeks following exposure. The |
| cause of the incident is attributed to the inattention of the radiographer. |
| The licensee committed to re-train and complete an accelerated schedule of |
| field audits on radiography personnel prior to resumption of radiography. |
| This incident is closed." |
| |
| The Headquarters Operations Officer notified R4DO (Charles Cain), NMSS EO |
| (Robert Pierson), and IRO (Joseph Giitter). |

| - AGREEMENT STATE REPORT REGARDING MEDICAL MISADMINISTRATION - |
| |
| The following information was received via Email in the NRC Operations |
| Center: |
| |
| Subject: Washington Incident Notification #WA-99-003 |
| |
| This is notification/update of an event in Washington state as reported to |
| or investigated by the WA Department of Health, Division of Radiation |
| Protection. |
| |
| Licensee: Providence Medical Center |
| City and state: Seattle, WA. |
| License number: WN-M045-1 |
| Type of License: Medical, Broad Type A |
| |
| Date of Event: 16 December 1998 |
| |
| Location of Event: Licensee's facility, Radiation Oncology Dept. |
| |
| ABSTRACT: |
| The licensee, a Broad Medical, had reviewed and approved the clinical trial |
| of the Guidant Intravascular Radiotherapy project. The project uses a |
| modified Nucletron high dose rate afterloader (HDR) and an Omnitron |
| International, Inc. Phosphorus-32 brachytherapy source model NC-P32-3N with |
| an activity of approximately 150 millicuries. The trial is to evaluate |
| local radiation for the prevention of restenosis after coronary |
| angioplasty. |
| |
| On 16 December 1998, the Guidant Clinical Research Coordinator introduced a |
| new type catheter, provided training for the licensee's personnel and |
| supervised the use of the new catheter system on a patient. The licensee |
| reported that the source was thought to have been seen at the proper |
| location for the planned treatment using fluoro and the inactive source |
| wire. The treatment was completed. |
| |
| On 11 January 1999, the Guidant Coordinator informed the licensee that the |
| new catheter required the use of a different connector on the front end of |
| the afterloader and that, if not used, the source would not be at the proper |
| treatment site and therefore the treatment on 16 Dec would not have been |
| correct. |
| |
| On 13 January 1999, the license performed some tests and confirmed that a |
| misadministration had occurred. Their review indicates that the source was |
| approximately 34 cm from the intended treatment site. In their second |
| written report to the state the licensee estimated dose to the vessel wall |
| to range from 108 Gy worst case, to 70 Gy as a most realistic dose. |
| |
| MAJOR ISSUES: |
| |
| 1. THE INABILITY TO CONFIRM THE LOCATION OF THE SOURCE USING FLUORO when |
| fluoro visualization is indicated in the project's description and |
| procedures as an essential verification for the use of this device. |
| |
| 2. THE INCOMPLETE TRAINING AND DIRECTION PROVIDED THE LICENSEE BY THE |
| GUIDANT PERSONNEL WHEN DEVICE EQUIPMENT CHANGES WERE MADE ON 16 DECEMBER |
| 1998. |
| |
| What is the notification or reporting criteria involved? WAC 246-240-050 |
| "NOTIFICATIONS, RECORDS, AND REPORTS OF THERAPY MISADMINISTRATIONS." |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 3/27/99 AT 1301 EST BY E-MAIL FROM TERRY FRAZEE TO FANGIE |
| JONES * * * |
| |
| "The license performed some tests and confirmed that a Misadministration had |
| occurred. Their review indicates that the source was approximately 34 cm |
| from the intended treatment site. The licensee's estimated dose to |
| the vessel wall was between 7,000 cGy (rad) and 10,800 cGy (rad). |
| |
| "On January 27, 1999, the state of Louisiana approved a SS&D evaluation for |
| a new source wire containing markers to allow better visualization of the |
| source. The licensee will not resume the project until the new |
| source wire is in place and has been thoroughly tested for visibility under |
| fluoroscopy. This incident file is closed." |
| |
| The Headquarters Operations Officer notified R4DO (Charles Cain), NMSS EO |
| (Robert Pierson), and IRO (Joseph Giitter). |

| DISCOVERY OF MISPOSITIONED OUTLET VALVES ON THE UNIT 1 ESSENTIAL CHILLERS |
| |
| The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the licensee: |
| |
| "On February 9, 1999, at 0510 MST, Unit 1 essential chillers 1MECAE01 and |
| 1MECBE01 were started in support of maintenance work in-progress on other |
| equipment. At approximately 1045 [MST], the temperatures of the essential |
| chiller oil reservoirs were found to be reading 193�F/190�F, respectively. |
| Within the next 15 minutes, the temperatures increased to 200�F/195�F, |
| respectively. Inspections revealed that oil cooler outlet valves ECAV321 |
| and ECAV421 were required to be adjusted to bring the oil cooler |
| temperatures within the normal band of 140 - 150�F. Preliminary evaluations |
| indicate that craft personnel may have mispositioned the valves during the |
| recent installation of insulation on adjacent chiller lines. At |
| approximately 1045 MST on February 9, 1999, the valves were adjusted, and |
| the oil temperatures were returned within acceptable limits. Reasonable |
| operator actions corrected the temperature problem; however, an apparent |
| human error (valve mispositioning) did occur that could have prevented the |
| fulfillment of a safety function were it not corrected. The Unit 2 and Unit |
| 3 lube oil cooler outlet valves were inspected and found to be in the |
| correct position. |
| |
| "Engineering personnel have since evaluated the impact of the mispositioned |
| outlet valves on the essential chiller and determined that the mispositioned |
| valves could have caused the chillers to trip in approximately 6-1/2 hours. |
| Therefore, in the event of a loss of coolant accident concurrent with a loss |
| of power, the essential chillers could not have performed their intended |
| design basis function, and this event is reportable in accordance with |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iii). Reportability was determined at approximately 1445 |
| MST on February 24, 1999." |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. |

| |
| "On February 9, 1999 the Unit 1 Essential Chillers 1MECAE01 and 1MECRE01 |
| were running when the temperatures of the oil reservoirs were found to be |
| elevated above the normal band. It was initially thought that the chillers |
| would have tripped, within 6.5 hours from the start of the chillers at 0510 |
| MST, on high compressor bearing oil temperature. |
| |
| "Investigation of the event following the ENS notification has concluded |
| that both chillers would have continued to operate and would not have |
| tripped. The chillers' oil temperatures had stabilized at elevated |
| temperatures with enough margin from the trip setpoint to ensure their |
| continued operation." |
| |
| The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. The Headquarters |
| Operations Officer notified the R4DO (Charles Cain). |

| High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) Division 3 Diesel Generator declared |
| inoperable. |
| |
| HPCS (Division 3) EDG oil level was discovered to be out of specification |
| low during normal rounds. The Division 3 EDG was conservatively declared |
| inoperable until further evaluations can be performed to determine final |
| disposition of oil leakage from its inspection cover. The licensee entered |
| Technical Specification 3.8.1 (72 hour limiting conditioning of operation). |
| All Emergency Core Cooling systems including HPCS are fully operable. |
| Earlier in the day an undervoltage spike on the electrical grid caused the |
| Division 3 EDG to start. The diesel was properly secured. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee. |
| |
| * * * RETRACTED ON 3/26/99 AT 1215 EST BY JAMES OWENS TO FANGIE JONES * * * |
| |
| After further evaluation, the licensee determined that the oil leak was |
| minor and there was no need to declare the HPCS EDG inoperable. The low oil |
| level was discovered on routine operator rounds at the lower end of its |
| allowed band. If there was any increase in leakage, it would have been |
| noted on the operator rounds and further action could have been taken. |
| Therefore, the conservative measure of declaring the HPCS EDG inoperable was |
| not necessary and the event notification is retracted. |
| |
| The licensee intends to notify the NRC Resident Inspector. The Headquarters |
| Operations Officer notified the R4DO (Charles Cain). |

| NRC BULLETIN 91-01, 24 HOUR REPORT |
| |
| On March 25, 1999 at 0958, during a building NCS self assessment, an NCS |
| Engineer discovered that a Nuclear |
| Criticality Safety Approval (NCSA) requirement was not being maintained in |
| the X-330 ACR 2 Small Diameter |
| Container Storage Area. NCSA-Plant025.A00 requirement #11 states that, "A |
| minimum spacing of 23 inches center-to-center shall be maintained between |
| small diameter containers within a storage area." An F-can and GP can were |
| discovered to be spaced 22" center-to-center, in violation of this |
| requirement. |
| |
| All other controls were maintained during this event. The spacing control |
| was restored under direction of the NCS staff. |
| |
| The facility personnel notified the NRC Resident Inspector and the DOE site |

| POTENTIAL RADIATION EXPOSURE TO UNMONITORED PERSONNEL |
| |
| A potential overexposure condition was discovered when a shredder line at |
| the site was being put back in service. When the level detector was |
| energized the expected alarm was not received. Investigation found that the |
| shutter on a KayRay Model 7062-BP sealed source (serial number 26139-D) was |
| stuck open. The source contains 50 millicuries of Cs-137. A survey of the |
| area measured 150-200 mR/Hr at 2-4 inches and about 20 mR/Hr at 1 meter. |
| The radiation officer initial investigation has identified three potential |
| unmonitored exposures with the following estimations of time and field for |
| each: |
| |
| 1. For 30 minutes with a whole body exposure rate of 50 mR/Hr and up to 200 |
| mR/Hr to extremities (hands), |
| 2. For 5-10 minutes to the lower body an exposure rate of 5-10 mR/Hr, and |
| 3. For 5-10 minutes at 10 mR/Hr and 20 minutes at 50 mR/Hr to the whole |
| body, 20 minutes at 150-200 mR/Hr to the upper extremities, and another 10 |
| minutes at 150-200 mR/Hr to the lower body and lower extremities. |
| |
| Further investigation will be carried out to determine if others may have |
| been exposed. The line was shut down on 3/12/99 and the shutter was closed, |
| this was the last known time it was closed. The licensee has yet to |
| determine when the shutter may have been opened. |
| |
| The licensee will submit a written report within 30 days. |
