| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiation Worker Receives High Dosimetry Reading |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the Arkansas Department of Health via email:
The RSO reported at 1100 [CST], on November 14, 2018, that the dosimetry provider had reported to the licensee one radiation worker badge had received a possible exposure of 9,000 mR for the month of October. The dosimetry provider has stated the exposure was a dynamic exposure with atypical exposure to the badge. The licensee began to investigate the cause of the high reading. The worker had worked with other employees and had not worked independently during the month. Other workers had routine exposures for the month. The licensee requires workers to wear SRD's [Self Reading Dosimeter] while working in the restricted area. The worker's cumulative reading for the time period was 200 mR. The worker's ring badge had routine exposure readings. During investigation by the licensee, there was no recollection of the badge being separated from the worker during the month. During off hours, all dosimetry is stored with the worker's lab coats outside the restricted area. The licensee develops PET [Positron Emission Tomography] radionuclides for radiopharmaceutical research and development. Since the time period of the exposure cannot be determined, the Arkansas Program is reporting this event under RH-1502.b. of the Arkansas Regulations equivalent to 10 CFR 20.2202(b)(1) of the NRC Regulations. The licensee and the State continue to investigate. The State of Arkansas will update when additional information is known. Arkansas event number AR-2018-006." |
