| ENS 54838 | 5 August 2020 14:20:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Ram Packages Switched in Error | The following email was received from the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program (the agency) via email: On August 5, 2020, InviCRO reported receiving in error on same day a White I package of 140 mCi Lu-177. Receipt survey recorded a package surface dose rate of 0.2 mRem/hr. The received package activity exceeded their license radioactive material possession limit of 125 mCi. Package held by licensee in secure storage until activity falls below license limit (Lu-177 half-life is 6.7 days). The intended activity as requested by the licensee was 60 mCi. Package ordered through Radiomedix in Texas who forwarded order to supplier (ITM Medical isotopes GmbH) in Germany. Package sent from Germany arrived in (common carrier) US facility and directly forwarded to customer without going through Texas. Agency contacted (common carrier) and Texas Department of State Health Services. Apparent cause was (common carrier) accidentally switching labels/paperwork on two similar Lu-177 packages. The package originally intended for InviCRO was forwarded to a customer licensed in Indiana. Indiana customer (Endocyte) notified by Radiomedix. All US parties identified above are aware of incident. Radiomedix continuing its internal investigation. Agency left detailed voicemail messages (including circumstances, package receipt date and activity) at Indiana Department of Homeland Security and Indiana Department of Health. Agency determined this to be a 30-day reportable event and considers this event currently still open. MA Event Number: 20-4230 | ||
| ENS 54807 | 1 July 2020 04:00:00 | Agreement State | EN Revision Imported Date : 9/3/2020 AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - ABANDONED RADIOACTIVE SCRAP METAL The following information was received via email: On 7/1/2020, Massachusetts Radiation Control Program was informed by Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., that a scrap metal shipment from Town of Littleton Transfer Station in Littleton, MA set off the radiation monitor alarm. The vehicle was redirected back to Littleton Transfer Station for follow-up survey and mitigation in accordance with MA RCP DOT Special Permit 10656 MA-MA-20-01. On 7/6/20, the material was identified and segregated from the scrap metal load by an independent radiation consultant. The radioactive material discovered was radium-226 Aircraft gauge. Device is intact and not leaking as a wipe test was done by radiation consultant. A Ludlum Model 9DP-1 ion chamber was used for direct measurements on the instrument. The dose rate at 6 inches from the instrument was 1 mR/hr. Dose rate outside of drum is less than 300 microR/hr. The radium-226 activity was estimated to be approximately 31.6 microCuries based on the dose rate measured. The RAM material is being stored in safe secure storage away from people and labeled as radioactive material held for proper disposal. This activity meets the 30-day event report requirement for lost or abandoned radioactive material greater than 10 times the quantities specified in 10 CFR 20 Appendix C, or the Massachusetts equivalent, 105 CMR 120.297 Appendix C, which is ten times reportable quantity for radium-226 (1 microCurie). The Massachusetts Radiation Control Program considers this event to be open until proper disposal of this instrument is confirmed. Event Docket No.: MA 19-4216 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.

| ENS 54722 | 20 May 2020 19:52:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Lost Package in Transit | The following is taken from the Massachusetts Radiation Control Report abstract: PerkinElmer reported on May 20, 2020, that one UN2910 package, Transport Index 0.0, shipped from the licensee's Billerica, Massachusetts facility via a common carrier, containing 5.73 mCi I-125, was reported missing by the carrier on May 20, 2020. The last known location of the package was at the Atlanta, Georgia, airport on May 15, 2020 (when the carrier reported to the licensee that the package was still being held in place awaiting transfer). The package, measuring 10x6x6 inches and weighing approximately 2 kg, was one of a 22-package shipment destined for a customer in the Netherlands. The package was left behind in Atlanta on May 6, 2020, due to external package damage and the other twenty-one packages continued to the customer. There was no reported external package radioactive contamination or loss of radioactive material. The licensee continues to work with the carrier to locate package. No significant public health and safety concern exists based on the package radiation measured at background levels. This situation is an immediately reportable event per regulation. The Agency (Massachusetts Radiation Control Program) currently considers this docket to still be OPEN. 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.

| ENS 54713 | 14 May 2020 19:04:00 | Agreement State | EN Revision Imported Date : 8/21/2020 AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LEAKING SEALED SOURCE The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via email: On 05/14/2020, the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program (hereafter, Agency) received a notification from Thermo Scientific Portable Analytical Instruments, Inc. (hereafter, Licensee ) of two Fe-55 leaking sealed sources. A total of 308 sealed sources (containing either Fe-55, Cd-109, or Am-241) were leak tested but only two exceeded reporting limits of 0.005 microCuries of removable contamination for each source. These sources were removed from customer devices for storage prior to disposal. The information of the two leaking sealed sources is as follows: MAKE MODEL SERIAL INITIAL ACT. CURRENT ACT. DETECTED ACT. QSA Global IEC.A1 OA959 20 milliCuries 0.65 milliCuries 0.0206 microCurie QSA Global IEC.A1 OW788 20 milliCuries 0.72 milliCuries 0.0065 microCurie The sources have been stored in individual plastic bags, inside a lead container since December 2019. They were leak tested inside each bag and the work area was surveyed after the operation (no contamination of the work area was detected). The two sources will be transferred to a licensed waste broker in June. No radiological risk to workers was identified. The Agency considers this event to be open.
The following was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via email: On 08/07/2020, the Licensee provided a waste manifest that on 06/08/2020, the leaking sources were accepted by Alaron Nuclear Services for disposal. Also, the Licensee further explained that these leaking sources are open window sources similar to those involved in an event the Licensee reported in 2019 and the windows on the sources can be easily damaged due to age, removal from source housing, even from being leak tested. The Agency considers this event to be closed. Notified R1DO (Greives) and NMSS Event Notification via e-mail. | |||
| ENS 54643 | 6 April 2020 04:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Lost Material in Transit | The following is summarized from an e-mail received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: The licensee reported on 4/6/20 that three UN2915 White I label packages, shipped from Germany via common carrier, each containing 21.14 Ci Sulfur-35, did not arrive on 3/29/20 as expected. Upon inquiry on 3/31/20, the common carrier informed the licensee that the packages arrived at JFK Airport, NY, and had not yet been forwarded. The common carrier informed the licensee on 4/6/20 that the three packages could not be located within its system, all flights were cancelled from JFK to Boston due to the COVID-19 situation, and affected freight would be forwarded via ground. The licensee continues to work with the common carrier to locate the packages. There is no significant public health and safety concern due to the package radiation levels being at background.
The following was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via email: The licensee (PerkinElmer) on 4/9/2020 reported to this Agency (the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program) that three packages previously reported as missing were found in (the common) carrier's warehouse at JFK Airport in NY. The licensee stated that the packages were reportedly intact, unopened and undamaged. The licensee stated that the packages are expected to be ground transported to licensee in Boston for arrival on 4/10/2020. The licensee stated that a comprehensive incoming package survey will be performed on packages upon arrival at licensee facility. This Agency considers this event to still be OPEN until licensee confirmation of package arrival in regulatory-acceptable condition.

| ENS 54526 | 13 February 2020 18:45:00 | Agreement State | EN Revision Imported Date : 8/12/2020 AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - UNDERDOSE OF YTTRIUM-90 DURING TREATMENT A medical event was reported to the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program on Friday, February 14, 2020. A patient receiving a therapeutic radiation dose to the right lobe of the liver using Y-90 Theraspheres in 2 fractionated doses was intended to receive 135 Grays for each fraction. The patient was administered 45.5 Grays for the first fraction and 129.4 Grays for the second. The first fraction underdosed the right lobe of the liver by greater than 50 percent and differed from the prescribed dose by greater than 0.5 Sv (50 rem) effective dose equivalent. The actual underdose for the first fraction was 8,950 rads. This exceeds the reporting limits of 10 CFR 35.3045(a)(1)(i)(c), 'Report and Notification of a Medical Event,' and 105 CMR 120.594(A)(1)(a)(3). The licensee is investigating the cause of the event and will be reporting the results to the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program.
Medical event no. 14-4085 was reported to the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program (hereafter, 'Agency') by Massachusetts General Hospital (hereafter, 'licensee') on 02/14/2020 involving administration of TheraSphere Y-90 microspheres to a patient for liver cancer treatment. The patient was scheduled to receive two doses on 02/13/2020 to the right lobe and segment 4 of the liver; 1.59 GBq and 0.29 GBq, respectively. Administration of both doses went accordingly and no unusual signs were observed by the authorized used conducting the administration. There were no problems with the flow of liquid through the microcatheter, no excessive pressure was needed to push the spheres, no leaks were observed, and there were no visual indicators that spheres were collecting at junctions in the tubing. The RADOS dosimeter, supplied with the delivery system, was reading 0.0 mR/hr at conclusion of each dose delivery indicating minimal residual activity inside the delivery system. After each dose the microcatheter and delivery system tubing are placed in a waste container - for storage to decay - where the dose is measured to calculate the activity of any residual microspheres that were not delivered. The calculations were performed the morning of 02/14/2020 and it was determined that only 0.512 GBq (33.7%) of the first dose was delivered to the target site, whereas as 0.273 GBq (95.9%) of the second was delivered to the target site. These calculations identified a possible occlusion in either the microcatheter or delivery set tubing and also identified a malfunctioning dosimeter. No physiological risk to patient health was identified. The Agency considers this event closed. Notified R1DO (Gray) and NMSS Events Notification (email) 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. | |||

| ENS 54459 | 31 December 2019 21:45:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Radioactive Material Delivered to Wrong Address | The following information is a summary obtained from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via email and telephone conversation: A single package containing eight Iridium-192 sources was bound for Canada, but was delivered to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. A person at the hospital contacted QSA Global's distribution manager and notified them of the mis-shipment and that the shipment was unopened and secured at their facility. The reason for the mis-shipment is not known at this time. The shipping company and Commonwealth of Massachusetts have initiated an investigation and the licensee is arranging for delivery of the shipment to its intended destination. Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.

| ENS 50070 | 25 April 2014 15:15:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Recovered Source | A DOT special permit was issued by our Agency to allow the transport of unidentified radioactive material (RAM) from one waste transfer station to the originating transfer station. Subsequently, a contractor (Atlantic Nuclear) was hired by the waste services operator to isolate the RAM, identify it, label it accordingly, and store it in a secure onsite location. The contractor was not able to definitively identify the RAM. The contractor employed portable multi-channel analyzer's in the effort (both an ICS-4000, and LMJ-702), but no positive identification of the isotope(s) could be made. The material in question is encapsulated in what appears to be a metal enclosure, and the contractor postulated that the material might be Ra-226 due to the number of gamma energy lines measured. It was also postulated that metal encapsulation may be providing interferences, and further testing is required to establish the identity of the isotope. The dose rate measurements conducted by the contractor revealed: At contact 35-40 mR/hr; at 12 inches approx. 3 mR/hr. The contractor, Atlantic Nuclear (MA Lic. No. 56-0477), is planning to pick up the materials for storage pending disposal in accordance with their specific license. The Agency (Massachusetts Radiation Control Program) investigation remains open. | ||
