Title	Radiography Camera Source Tube Damaged
Event Description	Approximately 1210 on 05/01/07, the RSO was contacted by one of his radiographers at Cenex in Laurel, MT that he couldn't get the source back into the radiography camera. The area was roped off pending the arrival of the RSO to take corrective action. The camera is an INC Model IR100 with 76 curies of Ir-192. The licensee did not know the serial number. At 1245 the RSO arrived at the site and noticed a sharp angled cut on the source tube. The RSO shielded the source with lead and lead shot and replaced the source tube then retracted the source back into the camera. The RSO believes the damage to the source tube was caused by the radiographer. The RSO received 16 mrem exposure and the radiographer received 6 mrem.
