The following information was provided by the State of Washington via email:
"At approximately 3:50 pm [PDT] on Thursday, July 28th 2016, the Director of Radiology of Virginia Mason Medical Center called the radioactive materials section [WA Office of Radiation Protection] to report a medical event. The event occurred on the previous day, July 27th 2016, but was not noticed until the 28th . A patient was supposed to receive 120.8 mCi of I-131 in the form of two capsules for thyroid treatment. However, the patient only received one capsule resulting in the patient only receiving 53 mCi of the 120.8 mCi. The event was discovered (8:45 am [on] July 28, 2016) when an I-131 capsule was returned to the pharmacy on the 28th and it was noticed that the patient did not get both capsules as intended."
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. |

"This is a non-emergency eight-hour notification for a loss of Emergency Assessment Capability.
"This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) as the discovered condition affects the functionality of an emergency response facility.
"A condition impacting functionality due to a loss of cooling of the Technical Support Center (TSC) Ventilation system was discovered on 8/4/16 at 1100 EDT. Repairs are complete.
"If an emergency would have been declared requiring TSC activation during this period, the TSC would have been staffed and activated using existing emergency planning procedures unless the TSC had become uninhabitable. If relocation of the TSC had been necessary, the Site Emergency Coordinator would have relocated the TSC staff to the Alternate TSC in accordance with applicable emergency plan implementing procedures.
"The Emergency Response Manager and Site Emergency Coordinator were notified of the condition and the possible need to relocate during an emergency. This condition does not affect the health and safety of the public or station employees. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified." |

"At 1415 CDT on August 4, 2016, while performing a scheduled fire protection surveillance, it was discovered that a component within fire panel FZCP-7, BATTERY ROOM FIRE DETECTION had failed resulting in the inability of the installed fire detectors to detect a fire within the Division 1 and Division 2, 125 VDC battery rooms as well as the Division 2, 250 VDC battery room. This is being reported under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii) for a Loss Of Emergency Assessment Capability as the Control Room would not receive automatic notification of a fire in these areas for evaluation of HU2.1 and HA2.1 for fire within impacted battery rooms which are located within the Protected Area. There is no impact to the health and safety of the public. A 15 minute fire watch has been established for the affected fire zones.
