Title	Failure of Source to Retract to Safe Position
Event Description	The following was reported by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via email: The Agency was contacted by IRISNDT, Inc. the morning of 9/12/23 to advise of a stuck radiography source and successful source retrieval that occurred the previous morning at the Phillips 66 Refinery in Wood River, IL. Reportedly, the guide tube came in contact with a hot pipe, partially melted, and prohibited the 46 Ci Ir-192 source from returning to the shielded position. The radiation safety officer reports no overexposures to workers or members of the public as a result of this incident (maximum 12 mrem occupational). The source was reportedly not damaged and the impacted guide tube has been taken out of service. Limited additional details are available at this time. Agency staff are conducting a reactionary inspection tomorrow, 9/13/23, to review dosimetry, gather incident details, perform a time-motion study and evaluate the adequacy of the licensee's actions.
