Title	Radiography Camera Source Temporarily Unable to Retract
Event Description	When performing radiography at Marathon Petroleum located in St. Paul Park, MN, a radiography source was unable to be fully retracted due to a dent in the guide tube tip caused by a collimator set screw. The camera is an AEA Model 660B Serial # B1839 which contains a 22 curie Iridium-192 source. The licensee personnel called their radiation safety officer (RSO) who assessed the situation. The RSO using shielding and other equipment was able to unscrew the guide tube tip with the collimator attached to allow the source to retract. There were no personnel overexposures. The licensee checked their remaining guide tube tips to ensure that the same problem did not exist on the other tips. The Licensee notified Region 3.
