| Title | Agreement State Report - Potential Radiographer Overexposure |
| Event Description | The following information was received via fax:
An employee's TLD recorded an overexposure of 6.8 rem. The date was 22 March 2010 when the overexposure occurred. The affected employee claims he left his leather pouch with the TLD [in it] in the exposure area for two shots. His pocket dosimeter reading was also off scale. The RSO originally calculated the employee's dose to be approximately 4 rem which is not required to be reported to the state. The RSO received Landauer's dosimeter report sometime after 22 Mar 2010 which showed a 6.8 rem dose. The licensee contacted Licensing and Materials on 7 April 2010. The Tampa Inspection Office will investigate.
A Florida Department of Health investigator made a site visit on 4/15/10 to investigate the circumstances of the event. After recreating the event, the investigator agrees that the overexposure to the TLD could have only occurred if the employee left his TLD in the test area. Florida considers this case closed. Notified R1DO (Gray) and FSME EO (McIntosh). |
