EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILS TO FUNCTION

The following report was received from the state of Tennessee via email:

"Power loss site wide at Energy Solutions. Power was restarted by the utility. However, the power at the Radioactive Materials Solutions (RMS) building did not return. As a result, the ventilation system at the RMS building was not functional. The back up generator failed to function under load of ventilation fans. Currently, the RMS building operations have ceased due to loss of power. An area monitor is in place and showing no signs of elevated activity from air monitoring inside of the building. The contractor was contacted to reestablish power to site. Security patrols have been established to monitor quantities of concern. A follow-up report will be submitted to include corrective actions from the licensee."

EN Revision Text: STOLEN SOURCE REPORT

The following is a summary of a report by Customs and Border Patrol received via telephone:

Five sources were stolen from the back of a truck while it was parked in a hotel lot in the Miami area, after the lock on the truck was broken. The sources were being transported to calibrate Radiation Portal Monitors at Customs and Border Patrol offices in the Miami area.

The theft was reported to the US NRC Region 1 Office and the Miami-Dade Police Department (report number: PD210812-254442).

Source details: Cf-252, 5.16 microCuries (S/N: N7-402); Co-57, 75.44 microCuries (S/N: 2187-53-6); Co-60, 9.3 microCuries (S/N: 2185-40-6); Ba-133, 6.7 microCuries (S/N: 1794-56-5); and Cs-137, 6.79 microCuries (S/N: 1288-76-5).

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT
The following information was obtained from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via email:

"Loyola University Medical Center contacted the Agency this afternoon to report a medical underdose of Lu-177 that occurred today, August 13, 2021. Although information provided was preliminary, no untoward medical impact is expected to the patient.

"[The] Radiation Safety Officer for the licensee contacted the Agency at approximately 1500 CDT on August 13, 2021, to report that a patient scheduled to receive 200 mCi of Lu-177, Lutathera therapy for neuroendocrine tumors, received only 14 percent of the dose prescribed (28 mCi) in the written directive. The underdosing was intentionally aborted by the authorized user after the patient advised they had received the planned chemotherapy injection the day before, rather than after the radiopharmaceutical administration per procedure. The licensee is investigating root cause. The licensee is calculating organ dose to the kidney, but preliminary estimates are 67 rad. If the dose falls beneath 50 rad, the incident may be retracted. Notification to the patient and the referring physician has been completed. Agency inspectors are awaiting additional information but plan a reactive inspection within 10 days. The reporting requirements for the licensee, as specified in 32 Ill. Adm. Code 335.1080(c) were met, and the licensee is aware of the need for a written report within 15 days. This report will be updated as additional information becomes available."

Illinois NMED Report No.: IL210024

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.
