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, 14-04-2004
ERF description: On April 12, 2004, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission received preliminary information that an event occurred on January 9, 2004, resulting in a dose exceeding the annual occupational dose limits of 5000 mrem (0.05 Sv). The elevated dose rates were due to a failure to retract a source to its locked fully shielded position after an exposure, and proximity to the camera while setting up for the next exposure. A radiographer received a reported dose of 9347 mrem (0.09347 Sv) due to failure to properly survey the industrial radiography camera. The employees were utilizing an Amersham camera model 660B. The source was a 37.2 curie (1376 Bq) source of Ir-192, model number 424-9.
