| soil moisture/density gauge (Model 3430, Serial #30059), containing 8 mCi of |
| Cs-137 and 40 mCi of Am-241/Be, had been stolen from a state licensee. The |
| licensee reported that the gauge was stolen from a temporary job site |
| between the hours of 6 p.m. on 6/13/00 and 9 a.m. on 6/14/00. The chain link |
| fence surrounding the site was not damaged, but the door to the shed had |
| been pried open. The lock on the storage locker containing the container and |

| PATIENT DID NOT RECEIVE THERAPEUTIC DOSE OF I-131 AS PRESCRIBED |
| |
| On 4/4/2000 at 1230 hours a patient undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer |
| did not receive the 100 mCi of I-131 as stated in the written instructions. |
| The Patient Appointment Center misinterpreted the instruction "100mCi I-131 |
| followed by a whole body scan" to mean "I-131 whole body scan." A |
| diagnostic administration of 4.26 mCi I-131 was given for the whole body |
| scan. The whole body scan results were reviewed and the prescribing |
| physician concluded that the therapeutic dose was not required. The patient |
| was informed. The Heath Physicist consultant to the hospital reviewed the |
| incident and advised the hospital that the error was recordable but not |
| reportable. This report is being made following an inspection by NRC Region |
| 4 (J. Cruz). |

| HIGH PRESSURE CORE SPRAY (HPCS) DECLARED INOPERABLE DUE TO INCOMPLETE POST |
| MODIFICATION TESTING OF IT'S ASSOCIATED DIESEL GENERATOR |
| |
| "At 1915 on 6/15/00 a Engineering review of a plant modification to the |
| Division 3 Diesel Generator (DG) determined that the Post Modification |
| Testing did not verify proper operation of the Loss of Off-Site Power (LOOP) |
| circuitry. This modification had only been performed to Division 3 DG and |
| therefore Division 1 and 2 DG's are not affected. Division 3 DG provides |
| power to the High Pressure Core Spray (HPCS) pump. The failure of Division 3 |
| DG to operate during a LOOP would have prevented HPCS from operating. The |
| loss of a single train safety system such as HPCS is reportable under |
| 10CFR50.72(b)(2)(iii)(D)." |
| |
| The plant modification involved rewiring the electrical circuit to correct |
| for a degraded voltage condition and was completed on 1/24/99. Post |
| modification testing was completed on 1/31/99. HPCS has been declared |
| inoperable but is available, if needed, pending completion of additional |
| testing. The licensee will inform the NRC Resident Inspector. |

| UNIT COMMENCED A CONTROLLED TECH SPEC REQUIRED SHUTDOWN TO MODE 2 FOR |
| REPAIRS |
| |
| "The 'C' steam generator Feedwater Isolation Valve, XVG1611C, air operator |
| developed an air leak and was declared inoperable 6/13/00 at 1549EDT. |
| Efforts to stop the leak were unsuccessful. At 2137EDT on 6/15/00 a |
| controlled power reduction to mode 2 was started. Current plans are to |
| repair the operator in mode 2 and return to power operation." |
| |
| The air leak is ongoing with the affected valve in use (open). The licensee |
| anticipates entering mode 2 by 0600EDT on 6/16/00 and has informed the NRC |
| Resident Inspector. |
