ENS 4627822 September 2010 04:00:00Agreement StateAgreement State Report - Radiographer OverexposureThe following report was received via e-mail: During the last radiographic exposure on 9/22/10 the source did not fully retract. The workers did not do a survey and did not have their rate alarms turned on. They noticed that their dosimeters were off scale and discovered the problem. The film badges were processed on 9/24/10 by Landauer and found the assistant radiographer received 0.742 Rem and the lead (radiographer) received 114.4 Rem. Since they were both together this is questionable. Landauer reports the lead's badge shows an uneven surface reading which is an indication it has been damaged by dropping. Licensee calculations show 0.750 REM for both. The lead has been sent for a blood test. Licensee will send a written report. Florida is investigating. The camera contained a 71 Ci Ir-192 source. Florida report number: FL10-101
