ERF send date: Thu, 27-05-2004
ERF description: On May 25, 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission was informed of the occupational overexposure to a nuclear pharmacist trainee in the State of South Carolina. The licensee’s consultant determined that the nuclear pharmacist trainee received a shallow dose equivalent of 7,400 mGy, a deep dose equivalent of 70 mSv and a thyroid dose of 0.9 mSv. The overexposure occurred on March 17, 2004, when the nuclear pharmacist trainee spilled a vial containing liquid iodine-131 while preparing a radiopharmaceutical.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s annual limits are as follows: 500 mSv for shallow dose equivalent; and 50 mSv for the sum of the deep dose equivalent and the thyroid dose, which is multiplied by its weighting factor.
