AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - POTENTIAL OVEREXPOSURE
The following information was received from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) via email:
"On 9/15/2023, NJDEP staff was notified of a potential overexposure of an authorized user (AU) at a radiopharmacy. This licensee states that a whole body badge from June was submitted late and results were just received. This AU's June badge results were 4632 mrem. The badge was processed twice to ensure the reading was correct. This brings the AU's annual readings to 5351 mrem. As a result, the licensee has been put on work restrictions while an investigation is done. The licensee has also requested Landauer reprocess the badge. Staff was also told that the ring badges had the exact same reading as the whole body badge. Records of instant read out dosimeters are kept by this licensee and all recorded readings were no higher than 2 mR per day for June and July. More information to follow as the licensee's investigation is completed."
