1. When a worker receives a medical exposure to a
radiopharmaceutical, how do you survey of the individual? Passive monitoring?
WBC? Frisker?
* No survey if individual self-reports prior to entering RCA. Upon
reporting, individual is restricted from entering RCA and advised not to wear
dosimeter - estimated duration is given if the nuclide is known. If dosimeter
had been worn, it is collected and a new one is issued once they can clear
PCMs. Individuals are permitted to bypass PCMs when exiting the gatehouse
until the isotopes decay.
2. How do you document the survey? VSDS?
* If an individual hadn't reported in advance and were to get stuck
exiting the RCA, a whole body count would be performed to determine whether
non-medical isotopes were present. The WBC includes their name and ID# and is
permanently placed into their dosimetry file.
3. Do you identify the individual in the documentation? By name? by
a unique identifier (other than their social security number)

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.

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.
