| Title | Spill of I-131 Resulting in Contamination |
| Event Description | On 08/09/04, Cardinal Health reported to the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services- Radiation Protection Section that the Cardinal Health Nuclear Pharmacy located in Madison, WI had a spill of approximately 50 milliCuries of an I-131 sodium iodide solution at approximately 0830 CDT on 08/09/04. Under Wisconsin regulations, HFS 157.13(17)(b)(1)(b), the licensee is required to report this within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This preliminary report describes what the licensee initially reported. The licensee will provide a formal written report within 30 days as required by subsection (c) of the same section of the regulations.
The spill occurred while transferring a stock bottle from a glovebox to a fume hood. The lead pig containing a vial of 50 milliCuries of I-131 slipped from the individual's hands, hit the floor and spilled some or all of the contents on the floor and adjacent areas. The pharmacy RSO evacuated the area and cleaned the spill to the extent possible. The vial and pig were double bagged and placed in the fume hood. Fixed contamination was covered with lead sheets and general radiation levels are less than 1 mR/hr. A spot on a door in the restricted area reads 10 mR/hr and they are attempting to decontaminate it. Pharmacy staff will pull air samples and will collect thyroid counts on all affected personnel. The pharmacy continues to operate. The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services dispatched a two person radiation survey team to the Cardinal Health Nuclear Pharmacy. |
