Title	Possible Overexposure of Radiographer
Event Description	The following information was received from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (the Department) via email: On March 23, 2023, Nondestructive & Visual Inspection, L.L.C. notified the Department that there was a possible overexposure. The event occurred on March 21, 2023. The industrial radiography crew was working with a SPEC 150 (serial number: 2256) with 80 Ci of Ir-192. The source serial number was EA1810. The industrial radiography crew was working on a pipeline in Red River Parish, Louisiana. The industrial radiographer was not wearing his dosimetry badge, pocket ion chamber, and rate alarm meter when he realized the radiation source had not been cranked back into a shielded condition and was out to the end of the source guide tube with a collimator. The radiographer has had bloodwork done to send to REACT for testing. The calculation for exposure ranged from 1.8 rem to 21 rem. The industrial radiography source is now secured and properly shielded within the SPEC 150 camera." Louisiana Event Report ID No.: LA20230005
