| Event Text AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST THEN RECOVERED RADIOGRAPHY CAMERA
The following information was received via E-mail:
"On February 20, 2017, the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that one of its New Mexico radiography crews was performing radiographic operations on a pipeline that was being built in Reeves County, Texas. The crew finished work at one section and put the Spec 150 radiography device on the tailgate of their truck while they drove down the pipeline right-of-way to their next location. Unbeknownst to the radiographers, the device fell off the tailgate. The licensee and crew learned of the loss after a contractor found the device, picked it up, put it in the back of his pickup, and took it to another of the licensee's radiography crews who was also working on the pipeline. That crew called their site RSO who then called the crew who lost the camera.
"The camera was surveyed and readings were as expected. The source was in the fully shielded position and the safety plug was in the front of the camera. Based on calculations by the RSO on February 21, 2017, the contractor's exposure does not appear to have exceeded any regulatory limit.
"An investigation into this event is ongoing and further information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300.
"The device was a Spec model 150, serial No.: 1778 containing a 60 Curie (current activity) Iridium-192 source, serial No.: YA0302."

"At 1303 EDT on March 1, 2017, DC Cook notified the State of Michigan of a sulfuric acid tank leaking over 1,000 gallons of acid into the tank's berm. The leak was identified at approximately 1000 EDT coming from a drain line flange. The berm is designed to contain over 15,000 gallons which is sufficient to collect the known capacity of the tank. Cleanup of the sulfuric acid from the berm is ongoing, with no release to the environment or nearby drains.
