A Series of Unfortunate Events – Decontructing the Requirements for Reporting on Norm Related Incidents

Norm related materials and events associated with these materials have ‘normally’ fostered confusion on their oversight within the NSC Act and Regs. In light of the resurgence of interest for safeguards reporting, this presentation will review an incident that highlighted the need to understand the use of dosimetry for personnel exposure to radiation emitting devices and how reporting is not always black and white when dealing with the nuclear regulator and the dosimetry service provider. This presentation will highlight the reporting requirements and lessons learned for x-ray users who also have access to norm and ‘non regulated’ materials in an academic setting.
