| Title | Occupational Dose Limit Exceeded |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of information provided by the NJ Radiation Protection and Reliability Prevention Program (NJDEP) via email:
On March 4, 2026, DMS Health Technologies, an NRC licensee from South Dakota working under reciprocity in New Jersey, reported that a worker's recorded whole-body dose had exceeded the occupational limits of 10 CFR 20.1201(a)(1)(i) for calendar year 2025. When the dosimetry reports for December 2025 were reviewed, it was discovered that the employee's cumulative dose for 2025 had exceeded the limit. The root cause and contributing factors found were that the employee was not following established radiation safety protocols, not utilizing most appropriate equipment to administer material, and potentially allowing their dosimeter to be scanned at airport security when traveling. The corrective action was retraining the worker. Dosimeter results will be closely monitored in the future, and the worker will be assigned non-radiation related duties if recorded dose exceeds a warning threshold. |
