EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STUCK SHUTTER GAUGE
The following information was provided by the Iowa Department of Public Health via email:
"A stuck shutter was discovered Wednesday, March 2nd on the B-gauge, shutter 1. Entry to the gauge house has been prohibited per protocol. Measurements indicate an increase dose rate relative to background at the south side adjacent to the gauge and shutter 1 position, with a maximum reading of 0.11 mR/hr. The licensee's service provider, SenTek, has been requested to perform emergency repair work. The B-Gauge was repaired last night around 1900 CST. The shutter failed to close due to the solenoid valve that opens and closes the shutter, which would not vent pressure. The failed solenoid valve was replaced by a new valve. The project to replace these gauges with x-ray technology is ongoing and on track to be replaced by first quarter, 2023."

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE - UNDERDOSE
The following was received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) via e-mail:
"On March 3, 2022 a patient was receiving a Lutetium-177 (Lutatherar) treatment. During treatment, the vial lost pressure resulting in the inability to deliver the majority of the dose to the patient. Remedial measures were attempted, such as Dermabond and the addition of air, however, the procedure still could not continue, and it was terminated. No contamination was found outside of the delivery box. The prescribed dose was 200 milliCuries and it is estimated that the patient received 1.4 milliCuries. An investigation into the cause of the event is underway by the licensee. No adverse effects to the patient are noted at this time and the patient and prescribing physician have been informed. The DEP will update this event as soon as more information is provided."
PA Event Report ID No: PA220009
