| A medical misadministration occurred on April 23, 2002 that resulted in the  |
| patient receiving a 36% overdose (i.e., 10.9 gray vice 8 gray) during        |
| brachytherapy to treat coronary vessels.  The isotope being used for the     |
| treatment is IR-192. The error was discovered on April 25, 2002 when the     |
| hospital was setting up to treat another patient.  Specifically, a wrong     |
| decay table was used in the calculations.  No adverse effect on the patient  |
| was anticipated.  The patient has been notified.                             |
|                                                                              |

| LAKE                                                                         |

| On April 27, 2002, at 1140 CDT, the Main Control Room received a report from |
| Outside Rounds Operator that a fishing boat had capsized on the station      |
| cooling lake and that two individuals aboard the capsized boat were at the   |
| Wastewater Treatment Facility after swimming ashore.  One individual aboard  |
| the capsized boat remains missing.  Currently, the boat has been recovered,  |
| but after a search of the lake perimeter, the third individual remains       |
| missing.  The Ottawa Search and Rescue Team was on site to perform rescue    |
| operations but has determined that lake conditions are too rough to perform  |
| a water based rescue operation.  State Police and LaSalle County Sheriff     |
| have been notified.  Marseilles and Seneca Fire Departments are coming to    |
| the site to assist in a ground search.   Department of Natural Resources     |
| officials are also assisting with the missing person search.                 |
|                                                                              |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.                                     |
|                                                                              |

| At approximately 0940 CDT on 04/29/02, the body of the individual missing    |
| from the boating accident was found in LaSalle's cooling lake.  The LaSalle  |
| County Coroner responded to the scene and took possession of the body. All   |
| parties subsequently left the vicinity of the station.                       |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee notified the NRC resident inspector.  The NRC operations        |
| officer notified the R3DO (Brent Clayton).                                   |
