| ENS 49251 | 15 July 2013 04:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Extremity Dose Exceeds Limit | The following information was obtained from the State of New York via facsimile: On 08/07/2013, the licensee called to report an overexposure of an individual as measured with an extremity monitoring device (ring badge). The licensee had been notified by the processor on the morning of 08/07/13 in regard to the 242 rem shallow extremity dose. The monitoring period for the ring badge is one week, and the whole body monitors are exchanged on a monthly basis. The affected individual is a male production technologist whose duties include cyclotron operations. The RSO and consulting health physicist are investigating and NYS DOH (New York State Department of Health) will perform an onsite review. The licensee has reassigned the technologist to non-radiological duties, sent the individual's whole body badge via overnight service for an emergency read and has requested the badge vendor to perform any additional analysis of the ring badge that may provide additional information. This event summary will be updated after the results of the licensee's and DOH's investigations are available. New York Event Number: NY-13-04 |
