| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Failed to Operate Properly |
| Event Description | The following was received via email from the State of Texas:
On November 21, 2014, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee that an INC IR100 radiography camera, serial #4386, with an iridium-192 source, model 32, serial #W957, activity - 1554 GBq (42 Ci) failed to operate properly at a field site. The technician had an indication that the source was fully inside the camera when the flag indicator changed, however they were unable to disconnect the drive cable from the pig tail. The pig tail was not fully inside the camera. The licensee's RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] responded to the scene to inspect and retrieve the source. [The RSO] moved the source to another camera. The [RSO determined the] locking mechanism had worn out on the camera. No individual received any significant additional exposure due to this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident Report: # I 9255 |
