| Event Description | EN Revision Text: TEXAS AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - POTENTIAL OVEREXPOSURE
The following information was obtained from the state of Texas via email: On July 20, 2018, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that he had been contacted by their dosimetry processor and informed that one of his radiographer's dosimeter had read 37.5 rem for the previous month (June, 2018). The RSO stated the report indicated the dose was irregular. The RSO stated the individual had stated they had not lost their badge, but had left it in the radiography truck a few times on their day off. The RSO stated the individual has been removed from all duties that would give them any additional exposure to ionizing radiation. The individual's current dosimeter has been sent to the processor for reading. The RSO stated the exposure to the radiographer this individual had been working with was normal. The RSO stated they would contact Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site (REAC/TS) and seek assistance. The RSO does not believe the dose is real and is a badge only exposure. The RSO stated the radiographer has not displayed any signs of a high exposure. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.
