| event text = The radiation safety officer [RSO] for Northwestern Memorial Hospital called the Agency [State] to advise that a technician had spilled a significant quantity of I-131 in their hot lab. The technician was preparing a radioiodine therapy dose of 100 milliCi for ingestion by a patient when the spill of the liquid occurred. The technician had been removing the vial from the fume hood to perform a dose calibration when the material slipped from his hands and broke on the floor of the hot lab. The technician was contaminated on his hands, torso and legs. The material, although small in volume, was concentrated, such that even small drops of the liquid exhibit high dose rates. Initial decontamination efforts managed to reduce the contamination on the individual such that the contamination only remained on their hands. The initial measured dose rate was approximately 7 milliR/h. | | event text = The radiation safety officer [RSO] for Northwestern Memorial Hospital called the Agency [State] to advise that a technician had spilled a significant quantity of I-131 in their hot lab.
