AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL UNDERDOSE

The following was received from New Jersey via fax:

"The hospital's Radiation Safety Officer reported that a patient was due to receive a therapeutic treatment of Y-90 SIR-Spheres. The prescribed dose was 10.5 milliCuries to the left lobe of the liver. The dose administered was only 65% of the prescribed dose. Approximately 3.2 milliCuries remained in the vial after the administration was completed. The patient was underdosed and has been informed. Additional details will be forthcoming from the hospital."

A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.

LOSS OF VENTILATION SYSTEM TO EMERGENCY OFF-SITE FACILITY

"On January 12, 2016, during performance of an EOF [Emergency Off-Site Facility] Diesel Operability Test, the EOF Air Conditioning unit and EOF Air Return fan did not run as expected. Per plant procedure, the operators placed the system in filtration mode and then back in normal mode. Again, both units did not run as expected. The EOF was declared non-functional due to the failure of the air conditioning unit and fan.

"The EOF is available for emergency response purposes unless the temperature can not be maintained or a release is in progress. The backup EOF is available for use if needed."

The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

MOMENTARY LOSS OF SECONDARY CONTAINMENT

"On January 12, 2016, at 1340 CST, an alarm was received indicating secondary containment differential pressure rose unexpectedly above the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement, SR 3.6.4.1.1, limit of 0.10 inch of vacuum water gauge. A reactor building supply fan was immediately secured to restore differential pressure below the Technical Specification limit. The secondary containment differential pressure returned to below the Technical Specification limit within one minute. The Standby Gas Treatment System remained in standby, and fully operable. At 1341 CST, the secured reactor building supply fan was restarted to restore the normal ventilation lineup. The secondary containment differential pressure remained below the Technical Specification limit. Troubleshooting is in progress.

"This condition represents a failure to meet Surveillance Requirement 3.6.4.1.1. As a result, entry into Technical Specification 3.6.4.1, Condition A, was made momentarily due to secondary containment being inoperable.

"Given the temporary loss of secondary containment, this event is reportable under 50.72(b)(3)(v)(c) as an event or condition that could have prevented the fulfillment of a safety function.

"The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified."
