Information Notice 96-66, "RECENT MISADMINISTRATIONS CAUSED BY INCORRECT 
CALIBRATIONS OF STRONTIUM-90 EYE APPLICATORS," was issued on December 13,
1996.                                                                    
                                                                         
This notice is issued to all medical use licensees authorized to use     
strontium-90 eye applicators to alert them to recent misadministrations  
caused by incorrect calibration of the applicators.  Root causes for two 
recent events have indicated problems with calibration or determination  
of the dose rate from the strontium-90 eye applicators.  As a result, the
administered dose was not within 20% of the prescribed dose.

         PLANT PROBLEMS                                                  


Discussion:

Responsibilities and reporting relationships for Mr. Richard Grigg,      
President and Chief Operating Officer, Wisconsin Electric, have been     
restructured to better support him as he addresses significant           
performance issues at the Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant. Many of his   
non-nuclear responsibilities were shifted to Mr. Dave Porter, Senior     
Vice-President. Messrs. Grigg and Porter will continue to report to Mr.  
Richard Abdoo, Chairman of the Board, Wisconsin Electric.                
                                                                         
Mr. Grigg stated that he will augment Point Beach plant staff and the    
corporate engineering staff with additional operations and engineering   
personnel from outside groups and from other divisions of his company.   
The management restructuring and staff augmentation are intended to help 
Point Beach aggressively address recent issues and improve performance.
