| Title | Possible Overexposure |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health (the Department) via phone:
The Department was notified on April 3, 2026, at 1504 EDT, of a minor skin contamination event that took place at one of Precision Nuclear's radiopharmacy facilities, resulting in a possible overexposure. The employee's clothing, personal badge (dosimeter), and skin were contaminated with less than 1 mCi of flourine-18. Decontamination efforts began immediately after the event and were completed on the same day. Since the employee's badge was contaminated, final dose estimates have not been determined. The contaminated badge readings for lens dose equivalent and shallow dose were greater than the limit, however, finger ring dosimeter readings were less than the limits. The contaminated badge readings were as follows: Deep dose: 2,715 mrem Shallow dose: 77,354 mrem (greater than the limit of 50,000 mrem) Lens dose equivalent: 30,628 mrem (greater than the limit of 15,000 mrem) Finger ring dosimeter readings were as follows: Right finger ring: 9,902 mrem Left finger ring: 2,066 mrem This event is being reported to the NRC per Tennessee regulation 0400-20-05-.141 (24-hr report). The Department intends to conduct an investigation. Tennessee Event Report ID Number: TBD |
