| DISCOVERY THAT PART OF THE IMPLANTED SEEDS WERE NOT IN THE PROPER SITE |
| |
| A patient was referred for treatment, due to reoccurring prostate cancer, to |
| the hospital where he had previously had treatment. Seeds were implanted |
| around May 2001. A scan of the previous treatment of implanted seeds |
| determined that many of the seeds were not located in the prostate, but in |
| adjacent tissue where they would have been ineffective in treatment. Also, |
| a review of the records indicated a scan was performed in early 2002, but |
| was not followed up on. The patient and referring physician have been |
| informed. The hospital is conducting an investigation into the event and |
| also developing a plan to provide appropriate treatment for the patient. |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 07/18/03 AT 1638 FROM JOON PARK TO ARLON COSTA * * * |
| |
| Post-op dosimetry on one patient was determined to be a misadministration. |
| The dose that covered the prostate was more than 20 percent different from |
| the prescription as well as the penile bulb dose being close to 50 percent |
| of the prescription dose. Efforts are being made to contact the affected |
| patient. The licensee will continue efforts to obtain post-op dosimetry on |
| the rest of the patients related to this incident so that evaluations for |
| misadministration can be performed. |
| |
| Notified R1DO (Della Greca) and NMSS EO (Pierson). |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 07/25/03 AT 0921 EDT FROM JOON PARK TO JOHN MACKINNON * * * |
| |
| Post-op dosimetry for two patients were determined to be a |
| misadministration. The patients had their prostates treated some time in |
| the year 2001. The iodine-125 seeds were placed 2 to 3 centimeters below |
| the area where they were supposed to be located. The improper location of |
| the iodine-125 seeds caused more than 50% of the prescribed dose to be |
| delivered to an un-intended organ. The patients will be notified. |
| |
| Notified R1DO (Dan Holody) and NMSS EO (Trish Holahan). |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 07/30/03 AT 0911 EDT FROM JOON PARK TO ARLON COSTA * * * |
| |
| Two additional patients of a group of seven were identified as having |
| received a misadministration of iodine-125 to an unintended organ. The |
| patients will be notified of this misadministration. The licensee is in the |
| process of clarifying and document the issues related to this incident. |
| |
| Notified R1DO (James Moorman) and NMSS EO (Tom Essig). |

| radiological sabotage or theft of special nuclear material. Thus, Haddam |

| INCORRECT PATIENT GIVEN A DOSE |
| |
| "On June 25, 2003, a nuclear medicine technologist gave a 243 microcurie |
| iodine-123 capsule to the wrong patient. There were two patients with the |
| same last name and middle initial but different first names in the |
| outpatient waiting room. The wrong patient responded when the technologist |
| took the patient into the nuclear medicine department, explained the |
| procedure, and had him fill out a thyroid questionnaire. After the patient |
| swallowed the capsule, he informed the technologist that he was not at the |
| hospital for a thyroid study. The patient was informed of the |
| misadministration. The licensee did not report whether the referring |
| physician was informed. |
| |
| "Cause: The technologist failed to fully identify the patient. |
| |
| "Corrective Action: The technologist was counseled. To prevent a recurrence, |
| the technologists will question the patient's full name and match their date |
| of birth in the future. The technologist will also ask the patient what |
| examination or procedure they are scheduled for before initiating any |
| test." |

| FIRE DAMAGE TO NUCLEAR DENSITY GAUGE |
| |
| At approximately 1100 CDT on 7/21/03, a fire at the Conoco Phillips Ponca |
| City facility damaged the shielding on a Kay-Ray Model 7063P, Serial No. |
| 24829, Density Meter containing a 200 millicurie Cs-137 sealed source. A |
| preliminary survey of the device found a slight increase in rad levels near |
| the top of the source holder indicating that the lead shield had melted and |
| shifted slightly. Wipe tests found no evidence of source leakage. The |
| manufacturer, Thermo Measure Tech, was contacted to make arrangements to |
| remove the damaged gauge from the site on 7/30 and return it to their Round |
| Rock, Texas facility for examination/repair. There was no radiation |
| exposure associated with this incident to any plant personnel or emergency |

| INAPPROPRIATE TRANSFER OF LICENSED MATERIAL DURING REPAIR |
| |
| On 7/23/03, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality was informed by a |
| representative of the Colorado Department of Health, a Mr. James Jarvis, |
| that a Ludlum TWC 3250, Serial No. 6201, device containing a 1.5 curie |
| Cs-137 source had been delivered to Stewart Instruments in Ardmore, Oklahoma |
| for refurbishing of the electronics package. Normally, the electronic |
| package is disconnected from the source for maintenance. However, the |
| Colorado licensee, i.e., Tube Body Inspection located in Ft. Morgan, |
| Colorado, [Colorado licensee No. 76201], had delivered the device intact. |
| The Stewart Instruments principal [owner] recognized that he did not have a |
| licensee to possess the material but, due to extensive past experience |
| working with these devices, took appropriate steps to ensure proper |
| handling. Oklahoma inspectors visited the storage location and were |
| satisfied with the existing arrangements for temporary storage, i.e., locked |
| public storage location. The Colorado licensee has been contacted and |
| requested to remove the device from Oklahoma. |
| |
| Tube Body Inspection is in the process of terminating their Colorado license |
| and is making arrangements to transfer this device to a California firm. |
| However, according to the Oklahoma State representative, the California |
| company is not licensed to possess this material. |

| LOSS OF 9 OF THE 42 EMERGENCY EVACUATIONS SIRENS DUE TO STORM |
| |
| "On July 29, 2003 at approximately 23:44 Mountain Standard Time, the Palo |
| Verde Unit 1 control room was notified of a power failure, probably due to a |
| storm that recently passed through the area of Buckeye, AZ, causing the loss |
| of 9 of the 42 emergency evacuation sirens. The 9 affected sirens are |
| estimated to impact approximately 26% of the population in the emergency |
| planning zone (EPZ). This call is being placed due to the relatively large |
| segment of the population affected, and the uncertainty of the length of |
| time that will be needed to restore electrical power to the affected areas. |
| The Palo Verde Emergency Plan (section 6.6.2.1) has a contingency for |
| dispatching Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) vehicles with loud |
| speakers to alert persons within the affected area (s) when sirens are |
| inoperable. |
