Title	Radiography Source Became Temporarily Stuck Outside of Shield
Event Description	While preparing to perform his first exposure of the day, the radiographer determined that the source became stuck near the camera and guide tube connection. He notified the client, verified his boundaries, and contacted the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). After discussion with the radiographer, the RSO believed the source was lodged due to freezing temperatures and a small amount of ice within the guide tube. The radiographer was able to obtain a heater and, after about an hour of warming the guide tube, was able to retrieve the source into the camera normally. No overexposures occurred due to this event. The camera is a SPEC-150 that contains 47 Ci of Ir-192.
