The following information was obtained from the state of Texas via email:
"On March 3, 2017, SunTrac Services called about licensee Marathon Petroleum. They reported a stuck shutter found yesterday afternoon on a vessel. The line level indicator device was found with the shutter stuck open (normal operating position) during preparations to empty the vessel for entry to complete maintenance on the vessel. The measuring device was a Vega model SHF2 containing a Cs-137, 500 milliCurie source, serial number 0174CO. The device was removed from the fluid catalytic cracking unit and placed in storage by Suntrac Services, per authorization on their license. A lead plate will be affixed to the gauge to cover the source. The device will be serviced by either the manufacture or TexStar servicing company within the next two weeks while the vessel undergoes maintenance. There is no risk of exposure to any employees or member of the public. A written report will be provided in the next 30 days as per the consultant.
"Updates will be in accordance with SA-300."

The following report was received from the Ohio Department of Health via email:
"On March 3, 2017, The Urology Center, LLC, Ohio Radioactive Material licensee no. 02200310002, reported an incident pursuant to which the total dose delivered differed from the prescribed dose by more than 20 [percent]. The radiant source was brachytherapy seeds surgically inserted to the prostate. The incident occurred on March 2, 2017 and was confirmed on March 3, 2017 by a review of the post procedure CT [computed tomography] scan. The prescribed dose was 110 cGy using I-125 (model AgX100) seeds. The post CT plan shows that the actual dose delivered to the prostate was 27.6 cGy. The physicians do not believe that there are side effects to the rectum, urethra or neurovascular bundle as a result.
"The patient has been informed."

"At 0714 CST on March 10, 2017, with the unit in Mode 1 at approximately 17% power, a manual actuation of the reactor protection system (RPS) was initiated due to rising reactor pressure caused by the closure of the Main Turbine Control Valves (MTCV's). The cause of the closure of the MTCV's is under investigation.
"The unit is currently stable in Mode 3.
"All control rods inserted as expected; water level control is stable in the normal control band and reactor pressure is being maintained with steam line drains [aligned to the main condenser].

| Event Text POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED INDIVIDUAL TRANSPORTED TO A MEDICAL FACILITY
"At 1500 CST on 3/10/17, the Safety Department notified the Zion ISFSI Shift Supervisor that a contracted employee was injured while working inside of Unit 2 containment. The individual was struck in the back by a cable. This individual required off-site medical treatment, and an ambulance responded to site at 1508 CST. At 1520 CST, It was decided that this event was to be treated as a potentially contaminated injured individual being transported to an off-site medical facility. Vista East Medical Center was notified at 1523 CST to prepare for the receipt of the potentially contaminated individual. A Radiation Protection Technician and a Radiation Protection Supervisor accompanied the injured person to the hospital in an ambulance which departed the site at 1525 CST. A preliminary radiation survey was performed inside the ambulance at 1536 CST which detected no contamination on the individual. Due to the nature of the injury, a complete body survey was unachievable at that time. The ambulance arrived at the hospital at 1552 CST. At 1554 CST, Radiation Protection Technician performed a more comprehensive contamination survey in which no contamination was detected on the individual. Again, due to the nature of the injury, a whole body survey was still unable to be completed. At 1609 CST, a survey encompassing the individual's entire body was performed by the Radiation Protection Technician and no contamination was found."
The licensee will notify the NRC Resident Inspector. | |
