| MISSING SHIPMENT OF I-125                                                    |

| The licensee reported that a shipment of I-125 (10 vials, 100 �Ci each) that |
| was scheduled to arrive via FedEx on 10/31/00 cannot be located. When the    |
| package was not checked in to the RSO on 10/31/00, the licensee contacted    |
| the local FedEx office and attempted to locate the package. According to     |
| FedEx, the package was delivered on 10/26/00. The licensee stated that       |
| incoming FedEx packages are not invoiced and signed for individually;        |
| instead, a master list of packages is presented with the delivery (the       |
| packages are scanned when they are loaded onto the truck). The package has   |
| not been reported as misdelivered by any other FedEx customers.              |
|                                                                              |

| The licensee is retracting the event notification because they received the  |
| shipment today from FedEx fully intact and complete, just late.  They        |
| discussed this with NRC Region 1 (Eric Reber) who informed John Kinneman.    |

| INSTRUMENT AIR CONTAINMENT PENETRATION FAILED LEAKAGE TESTING                |

| "Currently Clinton is in RF-7. During performance of LLRTs of the Instrument |
| Air penetration (1 MC-057), AOV 1IA005 (outboard isolation valve) would not  |
| close upon demand. The solenoid was later found to be sticking. Therefore,   |
| this valve was an as-found failure. Subsequently, the testing of the inboard |
| containment isolation valve in this same penetration (1IA006), showed a      |
| leakage of 27,500 sccm at the air regulator assembly. When other known       |
| leakage pathways are combined with this leakage, the secondary bypass        |
| leakage criteria of 0.08 La (28,883 sccm) is violated (Tech Spec Section     |
| 3.6.1.3 SR 3.6.1.3.9),                                                       |

| "These valves were repaired, and subsequently successfully passed their      |
| LLRTs.                                                                       |
