EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST I-125 SEED
The following information was received by the State of Ohio via email:
"The licensee performs prostate seed implants on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week. End of day inventories are performed by two therapists. At the end of day inventory on 1/4/2022 the licensee had 53 unused seeds. The beginning of day inventory on 1/6/2022 the inventory was 52 seeds. No procedures were conducted between 1/4/22 and 1/6/22, and surveys did not locate the missing seed. The licensee is unable to account for the discrepancy in their inventory."
Source/Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE BRACHYTHERAPY
Manufacturer: BARD Brachytherapy
Model Number: STM-1251
Radionuclide: I-125, 0.000393 Ci
Ohio Item Number: OH220001
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: UNUSUAL EVENT DECLARED DUE TO A FIRE IN THE AUX CABLE VAULT
The following information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance:
On 01/06/22 at 1044 (EST), an Unusual Event was declared due to a Fire Detection Actuation in the Unit 1, auxiliary cable vault (EAL H.U 4.1). No fire was detected. Unit 1 and Unit 2 remain at 100 percent power.
The Licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector, the State, and local authorities.
Notified DHS SWO, FEMA Operations Center, CISA Central, FEMA NWC (email), and DHS Nuclear SSA (email).
* * * UPDATE FROM DAN WALTER TO TOM KENDZIA AT 1452 (EST) ON 01/06/2022 * * *
At 1441 (EST), DC Cook Unit 1 terminated their notification of unusual event. The basis for termination was that the inspection identified no damage to cables or cable trays. The fire protection system is out of service for the auxiliary cable vault with compensatory measures in effect.
The licensee has notified the State and local authorities and will notify the NRC Resident Inspector.
Notified R3DO (Skokowski), IRD MOC (Grant), NRR EO (Felts), IR (Kennedy)(email), NRR (Veil)(email), R3 DRA (Shuaibi)(email), DHS SWO, FEMA Operations Center, CISA Central, FEMA NWC (email), DHS Nuclear SSA (email), and FEMA NRCC SASC (email).
