{{#Regex_clear:On November 29, 2005 the co … {{#Regex_clear:On November 29, 2005 the corporate radiation safety officer contacted the Division by telephone concerning an event that occurred at a nuclear pharmacy operated by Medi-Physics, Inc, dba GE Healthcare (license number IL-01052-01) located at 1053 W. Grand, Chicago, IL. During the call, the Division was advised that, 100 mCi of Na I-131 was spilled at 15:10 on November 28, 2005, when a vial was dropped to the floor and broke outside a fume hood in the iodine room located within the restricted area of the facility. Contamination was detected on the operator's pants and shoes and on various surfaces in the room. However, no personal contamination was detected following removal of the individual's lab coat, shoes, and other clothing. Bioassay results taken shortly after the incident and the next day indicated thyroid uptake was minimal. </br>A response team from the licensee's main offices performed remediation that evening to contain and shield much of the activity and employ other measures to prevent the spread of contamination. As a result of these efforts, contamination was confined within the iodine room of the restricted area of the pharmacy. Air monitoring results show that there was no elevation of airborne radioactivity in the restricted area or in the effluent air at the release point from the facility that was above regulatory limits. A recovery drum was used to collect and hold waste and materials generated as a result of the clean up. The dose rate on the surface of the container was approximately 350 �Sv/h (35 mR/h) and the dose rate at the nearest outside wall in an unrestricted area was 4 �Sv/h (0.4 mR/h).</br>The area will be monitored on an ongoing basis until routine conditions are restored. Although measured dose rates are only slightly elevated at the workstations within the room, access to the room has been limited to monitoring activities, in the interest of ALARA. Prescriptions for radioiodine are temporarily being referred to the company's alternate radiopharmacy.</br>IL Report Number: IL050070 }}iopharmacy.
