| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Stuck Control Assembly |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via facsimile:
During a routine maintenance inspection it was noted that the control assembly [of the radiography camera] would not project or retract the drive cable. After an investigation, it was found that 2 of 4 'small gear housing' screws were interfering with the gear teeth of the large gear. The two screws that interfere with the operation of the large gear only interfere when they are loose in the housing. Since the outside of the small housing is where the handle for the controls is kept, the screws inevitably come loose over time and use. Since the screws are applied in the housing there is no way to tighten the small housing screws with out disassembling the control arm assembly. A small design change is needed on these 4 small housing screws to prevent a source from stuck out in the shielded position. Equipment involved: SPEC 150, (no serial number provided), Source: Ir-192 (no source strength provided), Control assembly: SPEC 'Red-Red' conduit control. |
