Title	Agreement State Report- Irradiator Malfunction
Event Description	{{#Wiki_filter:The following information was received by facsimile: The Radiation Safety Officer reported a source rack travel event that occurred the evening of December 27, 2013. After an irradiation run, the 3 source racks in a panoramic irradiator were lowered into the pool; source rack 3 was completely lowered but source racks 2 and 1 only lowered 8 and 6 feet, respectively, below the water line causing a travel fault. MDS Nordion was immediately notified and provided guidance to Steris Isomedix staff. The highest exposure rate at the surface of the pool was 18 mR/hr. After investigation, it was determined that the pool water skimmer basket dislodged and became stuck behind source rack 1; source rack 1 pushed into source rack 2 which pushed into source rack 3. The basket was freed from the source rack using remote manipulation tools around [0100] on December 28. The highest worker exposure (from a pocket dosimeter) was less than 1 mrem. A full written report of this event including corrective actions will be submitted to the Department [New York State Department of Health]." � New York Event: NY-13-07 }}[[Event description::Description::{{#Regex_clear:The following information was received by facsimile: The Radiation Safety Officer reported a source rack travel event that occurred the evening of December 27, 2013.
