OVEREXPOSURE Hartford Hospital reported to Region I on Wednesday, April 14, 1976'at 10:00 a.m. that a film badge worn by a nucicar medicine technician during the month of March was exposed to 5.52 Rems.
In addition, this individual's TLD finger dosimeter was exposed to 9.37 Rems for the same period.
Licensee initial information indicated that the individual works with diagnostic quantities of medical isotopes and that during this film l
badge period he had handled only one therapeutic quantity of iodine-i 131 (100 mil 11 curies).
Even though it does not appear that an ex-posure of this magnitude could be received at their nucicar medicine facility, the licensee is treating it as an overexposure until their investigation reveals the circumstances causing the high reading. A special inspection is scheduled for April 19-20, 1976.
I Media interest is not expected. The State of Connecticut has been and is being kept informed. A press release is not planned.
Region I, NRC, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania received notification of this g
occurrence by telephone call from the licensee on April 14, 1976 at 10:00 a.m.
