Hi, here is a comment I did find on the web with a link to a PDF report file concerning a diving incident that happened in Switzerland. On August 31st, 2010, a diver was servicing the spent fuel pool at the Leibstadt nuclear reactor in Switzerland. He spotted an unidentified length of tubing on the bottom of the pool and radioed his supervisor to ask what to do. He was told to put it in his tool basket, which he did. Due to bubble noise in the pool, he didn’t hear his radiation alarm. When the tool basket was lifted from the water, the room’s radiation alarms went off. The basket was dropped back in the water and the diver left the pool. The diver’s dosimeter badges showed that he’d received a higher-than-normal whole-body dose, and the dose in his right hand was extremely high. The object turned out to be protective tubing from a radiation monitor in the reactor core, made highly radioactive by neutron flux. It had been accidentally sheared off while a capsule was being closed in 2006. It sank to a remote corner of the pool floor, where it sat unnoticed for four years. The tubing was so radioactive that if he’d tucked it into a tool belt or shoulder bag, where it sat close to his body, he could’ve been killed. As it was, the water protected him, and only his hand—a body part more resistant to radiation than the delicate internal organs—received a heavy dose.

If you're just getting into offshore, the jargon alone can make you feel like you're behind before you've even started. BHA, SCSSV, GOR, Christmas tree... half the industry speaks in acronyms and nobody hands you a decoder ring on day one. So we built one. 130+ terms and acronyms covering drilling, subsea, NDT, diving, geology, HSE and more. Searchable, filterable by category, and it actually works on your phone. It's sitting on the website — go have a dig around and bookmark it for when you need it. 🔖 Hope it helps someone. 👊 https://beyondthesurfaceoffshore.com/oil-dictionary/
