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: Fri, 25-03-2005
ERF description: On 10 March 2005, a worker was subjected to a radiation overexposure during the production process of a radiopharmaceutical containing Fluor 18. Having noted a dysfunction in the automated manufacturing process, a worker has performed an inadequate manual operation, which led to the contamination of his body and clothes. This contamination induced an overexposure of his right forearm.Premininary results show that the exposure has exceeded the regulatory limit set to 500 mSv for local exposure of forearms. Waiting for results of supplementary investigations, this event has therefore been provisionally rated at level 2 by the Nuclear Safety Authority.
