[The second employee] received a dose of 5221 mRem, for the year 2005. 2092 mRem of this exposure came in September, but the September badge report did not reach Nondestructive Inspection until the end of December because of mail problems after Hurricane Katrina. The mail problem has been addressed by sending the badges to a different location. [The third employee] received a dose of 5221 mRem for the year 2005. [The third employee's] overexposure is still under investigation. The facility is still in the process of reviewing the circumstances that caused the overexposures and are implementing procedures to stop them from re-occurring.
