IMPROPERLY DISPOSED OF TRITIUM SIGNS
Notified by the licensee that three tritium exit signs were improperly disposed of as trash. The signs were manufactured by SRBT with an estimated source strength of 20 Ci for each sign. The licensee noticed the missing signs following an equipment inventory taken after a renovation. The licensee determined that the three signs were mixed with general construction debris and sent to a landfill. The licensee investigation is continuing.
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.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISPLACED IODINE 125 SOURCE FOUND IN SHIPPING CASE
The following was received from the State of Florida via email:
"A well chamber (HDR1000+, s/n A980392) was shipped to University of Wisconsin-Madison from Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center Tallahassee FL. It arrived inside a case which also contained three source holders and an electrometer. An I-125 source was found on the bottom of the case on the foam inserts.
"Due to low exposure rate of the source (about two times background on contact) it was not detected by the monitoring system, but discovered visually. The UWADCL [University of Wisconsin Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory] received equipment on 6/26/2014. Calibration was completed on 7/2/2014. The shipper has been informed by phone and email."

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT INVOLVING AN UNINTENDED DOSE TO A FETUS
On 6/26/14 a 23 year old female patient received 100 mCi of I-131 for a thyroid ablation procedure. Prior to treatment, she tested negative for pregnancy on 6/25/14. Subsequent to the procedure, her physician requested a re-test which confirmed that she was pregnant. The estimated date of conception is 6/23/14. The RSO calculated an estimated dose of 25 Rad to the fetus.
This incident was reported to the Florida Bureau of Radiation on 7/22/14.

PART 21 REPORT - INCORRECT VALVE SOLENOIDS PROVIDED
The following is a synopsis of information received via facsimile:
Brunswick Nuclear Plant ordered 10 (ten) 120VAC/60Hz valve solenoids on two purchase orders from Fisher Controls International LLC. In February, 2014, Fisher shipped six 125VDC solenoids to Brunswick. All six of those solenoids were identified as non-conforming prior to installation in the plant. The remaining 4 solenoids at Fisher are on a shipping hold. For technical questions or concerns contact: George Baitinger, Manager, Quality, Fisher Controls International LLC, 301 South 1st Ave, Marshalltown, IA 50158, Fax: (641) 754--2854, Phone: (641) 754-2026.
