Title	Agreement State Report - Veterinary Technician Possible Overexposure
Event Description	The following information was received via facsimile: The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) called to report that the quarterly whole body dosimeter for her technician recorded 993 mrem deep, 21,900 mrem to the lens, and 58,000 mrem shallow dose. The technician's finger ring dose was negligible. The technician & RSO have worked for years injecting three to ten cats with I-131 on a monthly basis (approximately 3 mCi per cat) and neither have ever approached such high radiation doses. It is suspected that the dosimeter has malfunctioned or was inadvertently contaminated with I-131. The licensee has requested that the dosimeter manufacturer re-analyze the dosimeter. The Massachusetts Radiation Control Program is investigating.
