AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - RADIOGRAPHY SOURCE STUCK WITHIN SOURCE GUIDE TUBE
The following information was received via E-mail:
"Acuren Inspection, Inc. contacted the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality / Emergency Response Services Division / Radiation Section on December 3, 2020, concerning an industrial radiography source that had been stuck within the source guide tube. The crew was using a QSA Global model - 880D, serial number - 14783, with an Ir-192 source, with source serial number - 11512M, with an activity of 41 Ci (1,517 GBq).
"On December 2, 2020, around 1640 CST, the source became stuck outside the camera in the source guide tube while performing radiography operations [when an equipment stand fell on the source guide tube leading it to become crimped]. There were no excessive radiation exposures. The industrial radiography crew's pocket dosimeters did not go off scale.
"A source retrieval team was sent out and had the source returned back into the camera by 2000 CST on December 2, 2020.
"The event occurred at Enbride Venice Facility in Venice, LA."
