| Event Text MEDICAL UNDERDOSE DURING BONE RADIATION THERAPY
The following report was received via e-mail:
"A patient was treated in the nuclear medicine department on October 6, 2009 with Quadramet (Sm-153 EDTMP) for bone pain administered by the user. The Nuclear Pharmacy prepared, assayed and dispensed 43.5 mCi of Quadramet. The dose was prepared with a needle attached to a syringe. After administration, the syringe and additional materials were returned to the Nuclear Pharmacy for re-assay to determine the activity remaining in the administering materials. Reassaying is a standard procedure. The assay revealed that 12.7 mCi of the Sm-153 remained in the syringe cap and the needle itself. The administered dose was determined to be 30.8 mCi, an underdose of approximately 30%.
"[The] attending physician in consultation with the Authorized User agreed not to bring the patient back to add to the dose already administered and to await the result of response. In their opinion, there will be no adverse affect on the patient.
"The Nuclear pharmacy will review whether a needle needs to be present on the dose syringe when dispensed. Nuclear pharmacy will also investigate availability and use of three-way lock to facilitate flushing of the syringe.
"An update will be provided when an investigation is done by an inspector from the New York City Office of Radiological Health."
* * * UPDATE FROM LICKERMAN TO KLCO ON 9/23/11 AT 1437 EDT* * *
"The department inspector investigated the above medical event and determined information to be consistent with the initial report to NRC shown above. In addition, the inspector determined that the licensee has instituted corrective actions which should prevent an occurrence of this type of event in the future. In particular:
-The nuclear pharmacy will dispense and calibrate syringe with a cap but without a needle attached;
-Three-way stopcocks will be distributed as standard instruments with all Sm-153 doses to facilitate flushing of the syringe;
-In annual training/retraining, it will be emphasized that Authorized Users must return syringe setups to the nuclear pharmacy for clarification if any setup is incorrect or appears to differ from that which is required per procedure.
No violations were issued following the field inspection."

"During a GNF-A Fuel Manufacturing Operation (FMO) Integrated Safety Analysis (ISA) team walk-down of HVAC systems in the decontamination facility area, it was observed that a log entry for a waste-oil can mass was greater than the limit specified in procedural requirements.
"Upon further investigation it was determined at 3:30PM on September 14, 2011 that an operator had incorrectly processed a waste oil can with a gross weight in excess of the limit specified by criticality safety requirements. This resulted in a condition where one of the two controls on mass documented as being necessary to meet double contingency had not been maintained. The second criticality control on mass was maintained at all times.
"At no time was an unsafe condition present, however the decontamination oil processing area was shut down until necessary controls were available.
"This event is being conservatively reported pursuant to GNF-A internal procedure reporting requirements within 24 hours of discovery."
The licensee will inform the state and local agencies and the NRC Region II Office of this incident.
* * * UPDATE FROM SCOTT MURRAY TO DONALD NORWOOD AT 1832 EDT ON 9/16/2011 * * *
"The incorrect processing of the waste oil can as reported on 9/15/11 resulted in a failure to meet the performance requirement of 10CFR70.61 and as a result, met the reporting requirements of 10CFR70 Appendix A(b)(2) [and 10CFR70.74].

| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT INVOLVING THE MISADMINISTRATION OF I-125 SEEDS IN A PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT
The following was received from the state via e-mail:
"On Thursday, September 15, the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for the licensee called [the state] to make a preliminary advisement that a medical event involving a prostate cancer treatment had occurred at their facility. The treatment called for the placement of seventy one I-125 seeds in the prostate. As advised by the RSO, post implant imaging revealed only 3 seeds located in the target, indicating a dose under 20 percent of the prescribed amount in the written directive was likely. Post operatively, seven seeds were discovered to be in the bladder and were immediately removed. Additional post operative imaging indicated that a number of seeds were placed in bowel wall, bladder wall, and the lumen of the bowel.
"Subsequent to that initial notification, the licensee conducted additional imaging and reviews of the case in order to assess the dosimetry associated with the implant. The written directive called for 145 Gray to the target and allowed for up to 100% of the reference dose to the prostatic urethra and 150% of the dose to the rectum. Preliminary estimates are that the D90 to the prostate was 2.2 Gy. The dose to the prostatic urethra was 15.3 Gy and the dose to the rectum was 63.9 Gy. Due to the misplaced application of the seeds, doses to the large bowel (10 cc), small bowel (10 cc) and bladder are also believed likely to have occurred. Those doses are 49.19 Gy, 20.7 Gy and 23.8 Gy, respectively. All estimates provided were preliminary and subject to change.
"The patient and referring physician were advised of the event on the day following surgery. The patient was cautioned that due to seed placement, the sources may be passed in the patient's stool and/or urine. Imaging on September 15 suggested the patient in fact passed 8 seeds since the initial implant on September 13. (Additional passages would affect dose estimates.) The patient intends to attempt a second placement procedure at the licensee's facility in order to treat the cancer. Additional corrective measures and risks were also discussed with the patient.
"The licensee notes that two procedural items that have been consistent with other successful treatments at their facility were not in place during this event. Fluoroscopy was not used during needle placement and the benefit of the physical presence of a medical physicist was not used. The Agency [state] intends to conduct an on-site investigation to gather additional information related to the cause of this event and review the licensee's proposed corrective action as well as review additional cases conducted at the facility. The licensee was advised of the 15 day written reporting requirement. Pending submission of that report and the Agency's investigation, this item remains open."

| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3" level of radioactive material. | Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING CO-57 FLOOD SOURCE
The following information was received from the State of Florida via email:
"During a routine inspection, a Co-57 flood source was determined to be missing. Source was accounted for on 18 Aug 11. [A state] inspector surveyed the area and could not locate the source. Licensee believes the source may be at a doctor's office; they will continue to look for it and will notify us [Florida Bureau of Radiation Control] if found. Any further action is referred to [Florida Bureau of Radiation Control] Radioactive Materials [Branch]."
The Co-57 source strength was reported as 414 microcuries.
FL Incident Number: FL11-081
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf
This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source |

The following was received by e-mail:
"On 9/13/2001 Widetronix, Inc. (NY RAM License C5379) shipped a package containing tritium treated beta voltaic foils to Radiation Safety Engineering (RSE). The package was received and wiped for surface contamination by RSE on 9/14/2011. The results of the smears were below action levels. The packaging containing the foils was then transferred to Medtronic Microelectronics Center.
"On 9/15/2011 the package was opened in a restricted laboratory area of the Medtronic's chip manufacturing in Tempe, AZ. Wipe samples were taken at each level as the package was opened by Medtronic's RSO. There were several layers of packaging, exterior shipping box, interior shipping box, large sealed metal canister, and a sealed bag containing smaller sealed metal canister containing the tritium treated chips. The licensee left each wipe and package layer on a lab work bench as he continued to open the next layer of packaging. The licensee finished taking wipe samples at approximately 10:30 a.m. and sent the sample to RSE for analysis. The results for the initial wipes were received back by the licensee at approximately 12:30 p.m. on 9/15/2011; the results indicated a leaking source. The licensee's estimated total quantity for the shipment is 53.2 Curies (1.4 Ci x 38 chips).

"At 1506 EDT, while the electricians were working on the left train DC bus, a bus bar slipped causing an arc and a loss of the left train DC busses D-10 L and D-10 R. This resulted in the loss of two preferred AC [120 Volt Instrument] busses Y-10 and Y-30. The loss of both preferred AC busses caused a reactor trip, a safety injection signal, auxiliary feedwater actuation signal, containment high radiation isolation signal, and main steam isolation signal.
"All systems responded as expected. Electric power has been restored to the affected DC busses and preferred AC busses. The plant is stable in Mode 3 at NOT and NOP, and controlling temperature using Atmospheric Dump Valves.
