The following report was received via facs … The following report was received via facsimile:</br>On November 13, 2009 the RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) for Owensby & Kritikos (O & K), contacted LDEQ (Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality) to report an excessive exposure. O & K had a radiography crew x-raying a pressure vessel. The radiographers believed that they had cranked the source in the camera. One of the radiographers went to the camera without a survey meter to remove the source guide tube. He was trying to put the safety plug on the end of the camera, but it would not go on. At this point, he realized that the source was not in the shielded position. Instead of roping off the area and calling the RSO per their procedures, they got the source in the shielded position themselves. This occurred on November 12, 2009 and the radiographers did not tell the RSO until November 13, 2009. Both of the pocket dosimeters were off scale. The radiographers said they where wearing their rate alarm meters. The personnel monitors were sent to Landauer for emergency processing. One of the radiographers had a dose of 5.57 rem for November with a year dose of 6.67 rem. The other radiographer had a November dose of 0.45 rem and a year dose of 1.00 rem. At this time, LDEQ believes these exposures to be true exposures to the radiographers. The crew had an AEA 660B camera, s/n B1495, that had a 79 Ci Ir-192 source, s/n 57338B. The last leak test was on October 12, 2009. LDEQ has begun an investigation and will report any new information. an investigation and will report any new information. +
