Event Notification Report for July 06, 2026

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - POTENTIAL ORPHAN SOURCE

The following information was provided by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) via email:

"A device was found at Louisiana Scrap Metal located in Port Allen, LA on Wednesday, May 24, 2026. It was called into LDEQ at [1630 CDT] on June 24, 2026. LDEQ sent out an inspector to the site on June 25, 2026. He took photos and surveyed the device. He was reading approximately [1 mrem per hour] at the surface of the device by an external probe with a 1x1 sodium iodide crystal with a Ludlum Model 3A survey meter.

"At this time, all that has been communicated was that the device was a core monitor manufactured by General Electric and ENCORE Electronics. LDEQ does not have the make, model, serial number, isotope, or activity of the source at this time. The device has been set aside by itself at the facility to isolate it. LDEQ has not determined the owner of the device or where the device originated from in the State of Louisiana at this time. LDEQ is in the process of obtaining more information. There is the potential that this might become an orphan source."

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT

The following information was provided by the Utah Division of Radiation Control (the Division) via phone and email:

"A patient was administered a dose of about 88 mCi of Y-90 SirSpheres on February 20, 2026. The patient passed away on March 17, 2026. The medical event was discovered during a review of cases by the morbidity and mortality committee on June 25, 2026, at around 2000 MDT. The Division was notified at approximately 1515 on June 26, 2026. The licensee explained that shunting occurred during the procedure that delivered unintended exposures to the patient's spleen and stomach. The spleen received the highest dose of about 42 Gy (4200 rad). The doctors involved were notified, and the licensee plans on notifying the next of kin of the decedent."

Event Report ID No. UT260006

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.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STUCK SHUTTER

The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:

"On June 26, 2026, the licensee reported that while attempting to close the shutter on a Berthold densitometer, their electronic technician had the shutter handle come off the device into his hand. The shutter was in the open position (which was verified with a survey meter) and could not be closed. The device is a Berthold LB8010 densitometer. The device's source is a cesium-137 source with an activity of 20 mCi (original activity). The incident happened on a wellsite near Pearsall, Texas. The device was transported in a Type A container to the licensee's facility and put into storage. The licensee reported the device will be disposed of on November 15, 2026. No individual received any significant exposure from this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300."

LOST SEALED SOURCE

The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:

"On May 29, 2026, Radnostix was notified by the distributor in India that a package that should have contained a 270 microcurie Ge-68 line source, model BM68-02, arrived at the customer's facility empty. The package was shipped on May 12, 2026, via [common carrier] from Radnostix Inc. (RNX), Idaho Falls, ID, NRC License No. 11-27680-01MD, to the Freight Forwarding (FF) facility in Wood Dale IL. The package departed RNX with a gross weight of 25 lbs., and arrived at the FF facility on May 14, 2026, with a gross weight of 7 lbs. The FF facility forwarded the package to Infocus Diagnostics in India.

"Upon arrival in India, on May 29, 2026, the consignee identified that the package was empty and contacted the distributor. The investigation indicates the contents were lost from the package somewhere between Salt Lake City, UT, and Wood Dale, IL. Photos of the package appear to indicate water damage and failure of the bottom of the package. The package was re-taped sometime after the contents were lost."

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.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - FOUND GENERATOR

The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via phone and email:

"On June 24, 2026, the Agency was notified by the Addison Fire Department that a number of Mo-99/Tc-99m generators were found within a storage unit in Glen Ellyn. Radioactive material inspectors responded within the hour and observed three packages containing Mo-99/Tc-99m generators originating from October 2024. Inspectors conducted surveys, examined shipment labels and paperwork, and confirmed that the generators no longer represented a radiological hazard. The generators were transported to the West Chicago office and are scheduled for pick up by a courier on July 1, 2026.

"Surveys were performed of the generators and storage unit with no readings noted as exceeding background.

"Inspectors have been in contact with the radiopharmacy where the generators originated and the courier company and will share information regarding this event with NRC Region 3 and the states of Indiana and Florida.

"This report will be updated following the July 1, 2026, pickup."

Illinois Item Number: IL260020

AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM

The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:

"At approximately 1827 EDT on July 3, 2026, Fermi 2 experienced a lockout of bus `101' resulting in the loss of transformer `64' followed by a momentary loss of both reactor protection system (RPS) bus power sources resulting in a reactor scram. Both level `3' and level `2' isolations were received due to the reactor scram. The scram was non-complicated.

"Operations responded and stabilized the plant. Reactor water level is being maintained at normal level. The lowest water level observed was approximately 94.1 inches. Decay heat is being removed by the main steam system to the main condenser using automatic operation of the turbine bypass valve system. All control rods inserted into the core.

"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 NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
