| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - UNDERDOSE TO PATIENT
The following report was received from the State of Utah via email:
"On 11/5/15, a 66 year-old male patient was scheduled to receive a TheraSphere infusion. The patient required a TheraSphere vial dose of 1.94 GBq Y-90 (order was for 5.5 GBq dose calibrated on 11/1/15 to deliver 1.94 GBq on 11/5/15) to treat the left hepatic lobe of the liver to a dose of 125 Gy for hepatocellular carcinoma.
"It was not until the Nuclear Medicine technologist returned to the In-Patient 'hot lab' to finish her calculations and make her final measurements after the procedure that she determined that the patient received a TheraSphere vial dose of 1.502 GBq instead of the prescribed vial dose of 1.94 GBq. (22.5 percent of the dose remained in the administration system.)
"The Nuclear Medicine Coordinator notified the Radiation Safety Officer and the authorized user. The Authorized User notified the patient. Also, the manufacturer's representative was notified. This incident is currently under investigation."
Utah Event Report No.: UT150005
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.

"At 2325 [CST] on 01/26/2016, Unit 1 was manually tripped due to loss of Feedwater on 'C' S/G [Steam Generator]. The loss of Feedwater was a result of a failure on 'C' S/G Main Feedwater Regulating Valve that caused the valve to travel closed with no Operator action. Auxiliary Feedwater and Feedwater Isolation actuated as designed. All Control and Shutdown Rods fully inserted. Intermediate Range Nl 36 [Nuclear Instrument] failed above P10 and, as a result, Source Range Nuclear Instruments were manually energized. No primary or secondary relief valves opened. There were no electrical problems. Normal operating temperature and pressure (NOT/NOP) is 567 degrees F and 2235 psig. There were no significant TS LCOs entered.
"This event was not significant to the health and safety of the public based on all safety systems performed as designed.
"Unit 2 was not affected."
Decay heat removal is being controlled via Steam Dumps. Offsite power is in the normal electrical lineup.
