| Title | Agreement State Report - Potential Personnel Overexposure |
| Event Description | The licensee's RSO received a phone call from Landauer at 1030 this morning to report a badge which had a deep dose reading of 6437 milliRem, an eye dose reading of 6437 milliRem, and a shallow dose reading of 6400 milliRem. The badge was assigned to the Chief of Surgery for the licensee for the month of January 2006. The RSO is investigating the cause for the fifteen month delay (January 2006 till June 2007) in processing the badge. Landauer told the RSO that this was a "dynamic" exposure to the badge meaning that the badge was moving during the time period of exposure.
Iowa Item Number IA-070001.
Upon further investigation of it was determined that the exposure is solely due to fluoroscopic procedures. Radiation generated from fluoroscopic equipment is not regulated by the NRC. Due to this fact the event should not have been reported to the NRC and is retracted. The State of Iowa will continue to investigate this matter with its licensee. Notified R3DO (Louden) and FSME EO (Flannery). |
