Title	Agreement State Report - Radiographer Exceeds Five Rem Tede for Year
Event Description	The following information was received via E-mail: On September 14, 2011, the Agency was notified by the licensee that a radiographer had exceeded 5 REM TEDE for the year. On September 12, 2011, while operating an INC IR102 camera, serial number 4843, containing a 67 Curie Iridium (IR) 192 source, the radiographer failed to fully retract the source into the camera after completing three shots on a weld. This was discovered when the trainee discovered that safety lock was already in the open/unlock position when he was going to unlock the source for the first exposure on the second weld. The radiation survey meter was turned off and no radiation pagers alarmed. Both radiographers noted that their 0-200 mR pocket dosimeters were off scale. They stopped work, fully retracted the source in the camera, and reported the incident to the RSO. Their Landauer badges were sent off for emergency processing and the results were received on September 14, 2011. The trainer received 3.361 Rem deep dose equivalent whole body dose. The trainee received 2.787 Rem. The total exposure for the year of the trainer is at 5.152 Rem and the RSO is still awaiting his August 2011 dose report to add to his total dose for the year. The trainer has been removed from duty. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA300. This event occurred at Total Refinery, Highway 366 and 32nd St., Port Arthur, Texas, 77642. Texas Incident Number: I-8884.
