1) What is the worst radiological screw up you have ever witnessed on the job?
2) What did you learn, if anything?

(try and keep it fairly short if you can)

Damn... beat me by a minute

S T I G:
I slightly altered the question..

Marlin:
   I think that would be a bent control rod. The rod was not properly disconnected and when the upper internals were lifted and movement to the storage stand started it bent not allowing the upper internals to be moved. This was a CE plant where the Internal Core Instrumentation stored position is in the upper internals. RDTroja I believe you were also at that outage. If you have not been in the containment it is hard to relate dose in the R/hr range on the polar crane catwalk during the lift and movement of the internals to it's storage stand. I went in with one of the early crews trying to unlatch it but it was just the crane operator and another Rad tech on the walkway during the lift and movement.

   Lessons learned were primarily for operations on control rod unlatching. Not much choice on how to handle the move after additional attempts to unlatch the rod as is.

S T I G:
That's a good one! Thanks Marlin!
