| Title | Agreement State Report Involving an Improperly Connected Camera Source |
| Event Description | The following information was received via fax:
Tulsa Gamma Ray was doing some radiography work at the Coffeyville refinery and had a source hang-up on October 23. The Tulsa Gamma Ray RSO was called. He came up from Tulsa and was able to return the source to the shield after about 10 minutes using a rod to push the source. Tulsa Gamma Ray RSO performed an investigation and discovered the radiographer did not properly attach the drive cable to the source assembly. The source was able to be pushed out but did not allow the source to be retracted. The equipment did not fail. The event occurred [due] to human error. The personnel were instructed to properly connect the drive cable to the source assembly and verify the connection by attempting to pull the connection apart. The personnel have been given additional radiation safety training. The camera is an Amersham Model 880B (S/N 1568) containing a 73 Curie Ir-192 source. The RSO received a dose of approximately 150 mrem while reattaching the source. Tulsa Gamma Ray is an Oklahoma licensee (License No. OK-17178-02) performing work in Kansas under reciprocity permit No. 2007-013. The Coffeyville Refinery is located in Coffeyville, KS. Kansas Reference No.: KS070009 |
