INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHY SOURCE STUCK IN THE OUT POSITION
Conam Inspection was performing radiographs at the Tosco Refinery in Trainer, PA. During the performance of a shot, the source assembly fell over denting the source tube preventing the recovery of the source (64 curies of Iridium-192). The area had already been secured for the radiography operation and lead shot was used to cover the source until recovery of the source could be made. The regional Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) was contacted and reported to the site. Repairs were made to the source tube and the source was recovered.
A thirty day written report will be made.
