AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - PRESCRIBED UNDERDOSE

The following is a summary of an email from the state of Florida:

At 1600 [EST], the [Radiation Safety Officer] RSO called to report a radiation underdose. Following the procedure, the waste was collected and measured to calculate the actual activity delivered. The actual activity delivered was 0.76 GBq, 90 percent of the prescribed treatment dose. Post procedure, during the room survey, inside the Plexiglas Administration Box a high level of activity was detected. The box was placed in double bags and relocated to the waste storage area. An investigation into the event is ongoing to calculate the activity in the box following administration. No individuals were contaminated and there was no harm to the patient.

Florida Incident Number: FL21-038

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.

AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP

"At 1004 EDT on March 17, 2021, with Unit 2 in Mode 1 at 90 percent power, the reactor automatically tripped due to a main turbine trip. The trip was not complex, with all systems responding normally post-trip.

"Operations responded and stabilized the plant. Decay heat is being removed by the Auxiliary Feedwater and Steam Dump Systems. Unit 1 is not affected.

"Due to the Reactor Protection System actuation while critical, this event is being reported as a four-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B). The expected actuation of the Auxiliary Feedwater System (an engineered safety feature) is being reported as an eight hour report under 10 CFR 50.72 (b)(3)(iv)(A).

"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel. The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

All controls rods fully inserted and the electrical system is in normal shutdown alignment. The cause of the turbine trip is being investigated.
