AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - POSSIBLE OVEREXPOSURE TO RADIOGRAPHER
The following information was provided by the LA Department of Environmental Quality (the Department) via email:
"[The Department] was notified by Acuren Inspection Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) via the Department radiation hotline at approximately 1400 [CDT] on April 26, 2023, concerning a possible excessive exposure. According to the RSO, a radiographer that has been working in Pennsylvania had his December badge come back with a dose of 8000 mrem. The December badge was sent to Landauer with the March badges and the reading was just received by Acuren. The RSO states that the radiographer works in the dark room processing film and leaves his badge in his bag with other tools. The radiographer believes his bag was used by someone else while performing industrial radiography and that is how the badge got exposed. Acuren will be performing an investigation."
