By procedure workers are expected to notify RP that they have had medically administered radionuclides prior to RCA entry. They usually come in to the dosimetry office prior to entering through the access facility. They usually bring documentation or we have them call the doctor's office. There is an expectation that they do not wear their DLR after their test. If they have worn it we take it from them.
They are not allowed to go into the RCA or wear a DLR until the radionuclides have decayed. We sometimes use our passive monitor in the dosimetry office to check them depending on the isotope. We issue them a pass to bypass the exit contamination monitors.

Think before clicking links or opening attachments.***** North Anna's response" 1. When a worker receives a medical exposure to a radiopharmaceutical, how do you survey of the individual? * We do not normally survey the worker unless they have entered our Protected Area without prior notification and have alarmed our contamination monitors. Workers that have had a radiopharmaceutical treatment will report to HP and provide documentation of the nuclide and the activity. We have a process for workers who do not enter the RCA that allows them to bypass the exit contamination monitors. Workers requiring RCA access will require contamination monitoring (PCM and frisker) and a analytical WBC to allow releasing them from the RCA. 2. How do you document the survey? VSDS? No survey in the traditional sense. 3. Do you identify the individual in the documentation? By name? by a unique identifier (other than their social security number)? - We use a unique identifier and their last four digits of their SSN.
