| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiographer Overdose |
| Event Description | The following report was received via e-mail:
On November 13, 2015, a licensee notified the Agency that one its radiographers had an overexposure. The licensee stated the radiographer cranked out the source and waited the time for the shot, then thought he cranked the source back into the camera. When he went to retrieve the film, the radiographer noticed his survey metered was pegged off scale. He immediately went back to the truck and checked his pocket dosimeter and it was off scale also. He picked up the crank and retracted the source. He checked the area with the survey meter and the radiation level had dropped. He informed his supervisor that night and the corporate radiation safety officer had the radiographers monitoring badge sent off for processing. The badge reading was DDE [Deep Dose Equivalent] of 11,453 mRem and LDE [Lens of the eye Dose Equivalent] 11,494 mRem. The radiographer is being interviewed of the details of the incident and a detailed report will be provided. The radiographer has not had any health effects at this time nor are any expected. This incident occurred on 11/11/2015 at a job site in Pecos, TX. Texas Incident: I-9358 |
