| Title | Texas Agreement State Report - Potential Overexposures |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of a report submitted by the State of Texas to the NRC via email:
On January 11, 2005 the licensee [Testmasters, Inc.] was notified by their Atomic Energy Industrial Laboratory that two Testmaster employees had received high doses on their 11/20/04 through 12/19/04 film badges, i.e., 7,035 mRem and 950 mRem. The licensee initiated an investigation and determined that both individuals had performed an adjustment of the collimator on the 117.8 curie AEA Model 424-9 Ir-192 camera, S/N B1831, after cranking in the source following a shot. Neither individual had a survey meter when they approached the camera for the collimator adjustment. A subsequent review of their pocket dosimeters showed a "high off-scale" reading which was not reported to the company RSO. The State cited the licensee for six violations of their TX license.
