DIGITAL ROD POSITION URGENT FAILURE DURING TESTING
While performing rod withdrawal testing in Mode 4, a digital rod position indication (DRPI) "Urgent Failure " alarm was received for rod L-5 in control bank 'A' at the 72 step position. Control bank 'A' was the only bank withdrawn at the time. The reactor trip breakers were opened and all rods fully inserted in accordance with Tech Spec 3.1.3.3. The cause of the failure was a card failure, which has been repaired.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

LOST/MISSING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL AT ROCKY MOUNTAIN LABS
The Montana State RSO reported that Rocky Mountain Laboratories located in Hamilton, Montana is missing approximately 12 millicuries of Sulfur-35. This material is a low energy beta emitter which is used for biological research including protein mapping. The material was in the form of pellets and was in the bottom of microfuge tubes which were wrapped in a double bag. The bag was last seen in building 1, room 102, on May 24, 2002 at 17:00. The material was discovered missing at 8:00 am on May 28, 2002. A search was conducted and also waste streams were checked.
