| Title | Agreement State Report - Radioactive Contamination on Radiography Camera |
| Event Description | The State reported that a licensee, Kooney X-Ray Inc., shipped a radiography camera (Model #150; S/N 197) to QSA Global in Baton Rouge, LA, for replacement of the iridium-192 camera source. When the camera arrived and was inspected at QSA Global, low-level radioactive contamination was found on the camera. A wipe test (swipe area not specified) revealed a contamination level of 0.0059 microcuries. The acceptance limit for QSA Global is 0.0050 microcuries. QSA Global believes that the contamination is from depleted uranium shielding in the camera S-tube and not from the currently installed iridium-192 source. Kooney X-ray has requested that QSA Global return the camera. Kooney plans to have the camera S-tube repaired as necessary. The State reported that the contamination was confined to the camera and this event did not result in any personnel or uncontrolled contamination on any other items.
