Title	Potential Overexposure Greater than 1000 Rads
Event Description	Louisiana Global X-ray and Testing called to report a potential overexposure after consulting with Region IV. Apparently, Landauer notified them that a dosimetry badge worn by one of their employees in the month of March 2008 read greater than 1000 Rads. The licensee is launching an investigation as to where the potential overexposure may have occurred. The affected employee worked both in the State of Louisiana and offshore. The licensee notified Region IV (Leonard Wert) and the State of Louisiana. * * UPDATE ON 5/19/2008 AT 1039 FROM W. JOHNSTON TO M. ABRAMOVITZ * * * The State provided the following information via facsimile: On 4/23/2008, we [Louisiana Global X-ray and Testing] reported an exposure in excess of 1000 rads. Investigation proved that the individual did not receive the exposure, that the TLD received the exposure. This was determined through blood tests to the individual that was assigned the exposed TLD. The Doctor here [Louisiana Global X-ray and Testing] and a Doctor at ReACT( ORNL) reviewed the lab results and both concurred that the individual did not receive the exposure. During the investigation it finally came to light that the individual had found his TLD at the end of a work shift in a pipe yard here in south Louisiana. The individual finally confessed that he failed to report the incident to anyone. He figured he had just dropped it when he found it. Notified the R4DO (Proulx) and FSME (Burgess).
