Event Description	The following information was received via email: On June 18, 2020 at 1130 CDT, an industrial radiography crew was working at DOW Chemical Company located in St. Charles Parish. The crew was working on top of a furnace. The crank-out controls [of a radiography camera] came into contact with a pipe and melted while the source was out. The source retracted some but stopped.

The RSO received a 43 mrem exposure and their assistant received a 73 mrem exposure. The radiography camera was a QSA 880 Delta, s/n D6309. Source s/n was 92997G, with an activity of 23 Ci of Ir-192.
