Event Report Forms (ERFs) are filed to the IAEA. Sometimes there are multiple event reports, updating the rating, the event description. Here you only see the latest event report

ERF send date: Wed, 24-05-2017
ERF description: During the performance of industrial radiography, the licensee radiographer approached the collimator without his survey meter. The radiographer positioned the collimator in preparation for an exposure shot without first retracting the 3.552 TBq (96 Ci) Se-75 source back inside the camera. Based on the dose assessment from the licensee, the radiographer received an overexposure of 1.76 Sv (176 rem) to each hand. At the time of the reporting of the event, there were no signs of skin reddening on the radiographer’s hands. The U.S. statutory limit for extremity doses is 0.5 Sv (50 rem). The dosimetry badge results revealed a whole body exposure of only 1.52 mSv (152 mrem), which is below the statutory limit of 0.05 Sv (5 rem). NRC EN52759
