AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - BROKEN CABLE ON EXPOSURE DEVICE
The following information was provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services via email:
"On October 30, 2023, the licensee reported that on October 27, 2023, they had an industrial radiography source disconnect when the drive cable broke at the connector while the crew was working at a temporary job site. The exposure device was an INC IR-100 [containing a 92.1 curie Iridium-192 source]. The source was retrieved and secured in the exposure device by trained personnel. Self reading pocket dosimeters for the radiographers and retriever involved indicate there were no overexposures as a result of this event. Dosimetry badges are being sent for processing. The licensee is re-inspecting and re-servicing all of its crank and cable assemblies. An investigation into this event is ongoing. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300."
