AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DOSE ADMINISTERED >20% DIFFERENT FROM PRESCRIBED DOSE

The following information was provided by the State of New York via email:

"A patient was prescribed 11 mCi of Iodine-131 for hyperthyroidism but received 7 mCi. Discovered during routine NYS DOH [New York State Department of Health] inspection on 10/18/2007. DOH staff reviewed a memo from the physicist to the RSO discussing the event, but their concern was only that the expiration date on the capsule was 12/28/04 (consultation with the pharmacy after the fact indicated that it was still acceptable to us this dose). A 'left-over' capsule from the previous week (15 mCi on 12/27/2004) with activity of 7 mCi on 01/01/2005 was administered to a patient who was prescribed 11 mCi with the permission of the RSO. Additional dose was ordered and an additional 4 mCi was administered the following day so they RSO did not think it was a misadministration. Follow-up letter from RSO concluded that there was no adverse effect on the patient. Corrective actions included changing procedures and staff training on proper course of action to take in the future and incident reporting requirements. Incident is closed."

TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER OUT OF SERVICE DUE TO VENTILATION CONDENSER UNIT FAILURE

"The Technical Support Center (TSC) has been rendered non-functional due to a malfunctioning TSC ventilation system. Investigation into the cause of elevated TSC room temperature led to the discovery of a malfunctioning condensing unit compressor. Repairs to the ventilation system were immediately initiated with high priority.

"Compensatory measures per FNP-0-EIP-6.0 (TSC Setup and Activation) for maintaining emergency assessment, off-site response, and off-site communication capabilities are being put in place. These measures include the conditional relocation of the TSC staff in the event of a declared emergency if the Emergency Director deems the TSC to be uninhabitable."

The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.

BOTH TRAINS OF COMPONENT COOLING WATER DECLARED INOPERABLE DUE TO VOIDING

"At 1315 (CDT), while in Mode 3 at normal operating pressure and 552?F, both trains of Component Cooling Water (CCW) were inoperable due to indications of voiding. The 'A' Train CCW had been declared inoperable at 1000 (CDT) when review of pump test data indicated a potential void and Technical Specification LCO 3.7.7, 'Component Cooling Water (CCW) System,' Condition A was entered. At 1315 (CDT), indications of voiding were identified in the common service loop piping, which was aligned to the 'B' Train CCW. The 'B' Train CCW was declared inoperable and the plant entered LCO 3.0.3 due to both CCW Trains being inoperable.

"At 1410 (CDT) plant cool down to Mode 4 was commenced. The 'A' Train CCW has subsequently been vented and void volume is currently within allowable limits for operability. However, further evaluation of this voiding is underway prior to declaring the 'A' Train CCW operable."

The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
