Title	Agreement State Report - Employee Overexposure
Event Description	The following information was received by facsimile: On Friday, October 28th, two NVI [Nondestructive and Visual Inspection, LLC] employees were performing radiography on a pipeline project in Wyalusing, PA. While performing radiography on a main line the crew approached the pipe after cranking in the source to set-up and mount for their next shot. While strapping the next weld with film, one of the crew noticed the indicator which shows full retraction of the source on their Amersham Model D880 had not popped out. At this time both crew members confirmed their survey meters read zero. However, also at this point they realized one member's rate alarm was chirping, but not very loudly and the other's rate alarm was not chirping at all. It was noted both rate alarms were inspected and working properly at the beginning of the shift. The crew then approached the crank controls where one was able to make approximately one turn with the crank, fully retracting the source back into the camera. They inspected their dosimeters which were both off-scale. They informed the RSO and were immediately removed from work. The badges were sent for emergency processing and whole body dosimetry results were 5133mR and 1447mR. CAUSE OF THE EVENT: Undetermined at this time, expected faulty equipment. ACTIONS: The licensee will be submitting a written report within 30 days. The Department [PA DEP Bureau of Radiation Protection] plans to do a reactive inspection.
