Title	Failure of Camera Source Lock Slide to Lock
Event Description	The following event occurred at the Kuparuk Oil Field on the North Slope of Alaska: After performing a routine exposure with a QSA model 880D camera containing a 65.8 curie Iridium-192 source, the source was cranked back into the camera. The radiographer noted that the lock slide did not lock the source as it should have. While using a survey meter, the radiographer then approached the camera. After noting that the source was fully shielded, the radiographer was able to manually lock the slide into the locked position. Supervision was then called. The camera was taken out-of-service. The camera locking mechanism was cleaned and tested. After determining that the locking mechanism was operating properly, the camera was returned to service.
