Title	Agreement State Report - Release of Licensed Material and Contamination
Event Description	The following information was obtained from the State of Tennessee via email: The Tennessee Division of Radiological Health received a call at 1350 CDT on 4/25/2016 from a consultant for Clinical Pharmacy Services in Gray, Tennessee. He stated that a vial containing 290 milliCuries of stabilized Iodine-131 had been dropped in the pharmacy onto the floor. The vial broke, splattering the liquid onto two pharmacists and objects in the room. Employees were stripped of their clothing. Thyroid count results are zero for both individuals. The Iodine-131 had been stabilized with a buffering agent making it non-volatile. Plastic sheeting and thick pieces of lead were placed over the contaminated areas. All personnel badges were overnighted to Landauer. The corporate compliance officers for Clinical Pharmacy were contacted and will arrive today. The consultant stated that the maximum dose rate at the point where the vial hit the floor was 66 mR/hr. through the lead sheeting. He stated a dose rate at 6 to 7 R/hr. Personnel were placing surface contaminated objects into a large leaded disposal bin. Tennessee Report No.: TN-16-059
