| Title | Agreement State Report - Personnel Overexposure |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via facsimile:
On June 1, 2006, a radiographer technician and an assistant from Team Industrial Services, Inc. performed multiple radiography exposures. After the 19th exposure, the radiographers reported "slightly more friction and resistance" when performing exposures at an elevated location. Approximately at 09:30, the final exposure was performed at an elevated location, the source was retracted with the fore noted additional resistance, and the "crank handle was rotated to the shielded position. No abnormal operation was noted and the lock plunger came up to the locked position. However, a survey of the exposure device is required by Team Industrial Services' Operating and Emergency procedures, the NRC and the LA DEQ [Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality]. No survey was performed." The radiographers then had difficulty disconnecting the source tube and control assembly. The camera was placed in the truck. The truck was then driven to the control room, to the OSI trailer, and to the shop. The radiographers then went to lunch. After lunch, the radiographers went to their shop, unloaded the camera and realized the source pigtail was not in the camera. The calculated worst case dose to Control Room personnel was 0.38 milliRem, to OSI trailer personnel was 20.7 milliRem, an inhabited office near the OSI trailer was 10.83 milliRem, and a second inhabited location near the OSI trailer was 29 milliRem. "At no time during the sequence of events did any unmonitored personnel approach the truck. Team Industrial Services, Inc. calculated the worse case dose for the technician as 13 Rem and the actual TLD dose was 1.1 Rem. The calculated worse case dose for the assistant was 14.5 Rem and the actual TLD dose was 2.2 Rem. These TLD doses included previous doses received in May. The licensee is performing radiation blood analysis on the two radiographers. Source: Ir-192, 40.5 Curies. Louisiana Report: LA060010 |
