| Title | Agreement State Report - Individual Exceeds Occupational Dose Limit of 50 Rem to the Skin |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of New Jersey via fax:
Event Description: [The licensee,] IBA is a PET [Positron Emission Tomography] manufacturer and radiopharmacy. When the dosimetry reports for November 2014, were reviewed, it was noted that one individual exceeded the 20.1201(a)(2)(ii) occupational dose limit of 50 rem to the skin of an extremity. This was caused by a November dose of greater than 46 rem to the left extremity, bringing the year to-date dose to greater than 62 rem. The licensee is investigating this unusual November dose and will be preparing a written report. The individual has been removed from work with radioactive materials and the dosimeter for December has been sent in early for processing.
After discussions with the licensee, the dose to the left hand was reduced from 46 Rem to 20.592 Rem which gives an annual dose to the extremity of 37 Rem. This dose is below the reporting requirements and the event is retracted. Notified the R1DO (Gray) and NMSS Events Notification Group (via e-mail). |
