Title: Causal Analysis of the Unanticipated Extremity Exposure at HFEF

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1042371· OSTI ID:1042371

This report covers the unintended extremity exposure to an operator while handling a metallurgical mount sample of irradiated fuel following an off-scale high beta radiation reading of the sample. The decision was made to continue working after the meter indicated high off-scale by the HPT Supervisor, which resulted in the operator at the next operation being exposed.
