"The radiographer inadvertently
thought that the
source was back in the shielded camera when he
relocated the camera and
guide tube to set up his next shot. The radiographer
did not use a
survey meter and he was not wearing a pocket
dosimeter, whole body badge
or alarming rate meter. " Bill,
same old cause. Basically its due to training, procedures, oversight,
and intelligence of the operator. They may need to install
a radiac on the guide tube to indicate the source is out. "In
science there is only physics; everything else is stamp collecting."
