| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RADIOGRAPHY CAMERA SOURCE DISCONNECT
The following information was received via E-mail:
"On May 14, 2016, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was informed by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that a radiography crew had experienced a source disconnect at a temporary field site on May 13, 2016. The RSO stated the crew was working on a pipeline and after 3-4 welds were completed the source could not be retracted into the Spec 150 camera containing a 90.4 Curie iridium-192 source. The RSO, who was authorized to perform source retrieval, responded. He determined that the source cable had parted right next to the ball connector and that the source would not slide out of the source tube since the frayed cable was catching on the inside of the tube. He cut the source tube in order to recover the source. The RSO received 1300 mRem on his pocket dosimeter and is sending in his film badge for emergency processing. No member of the general public received an exposure due to this event. The licensee is conducting an investigation into the event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300."
