During an inspection in January 2016, the State of Florida noted that one of the licensee's employees working with a particle accelerator had exceeded the 50 mSv (5 rem) worker exposure limit for 2015 (overexposure nominally was 52 mSv (5.2 rem)). This employee also had nine high exposure investigative reports for 2015, and the Radiation Safety Officer had failed to take any action to mitigate exposure. Florida plans to conduct a follow up inspection to investigate the circumstances surrounding the worker overexposure. NRC EN51688
