| Event Description | The following report was received via facsimile:
On November 13, 2008, around 9:25AM at the Louisiana Technical College - T.H. Harris Campus, Nondestructive Testing Department had a misconnection on an Amertest 660B camera with serial number 1641 from the control cable to the source assembly. The camera had a 43.9 Ci source of Ir-192 with serial number 48634B. The students cranked the source out to do the area survey. After completion of the survey, they tried to return the source to it's shielded position. At that time, they could not return it back to the shielded position. The RSO was notified and determined it could possibly be a misconnect. QSA Global was called to retrieve the source. QSA Global retrieved the source and performed further evaluation. The camera and source were returned to QSA Global. QSA Global determined that it could possibly be a defective male connection on the source assembly. All safety procedures were followed. According to the facility, none of the students were in any kind of danger of being overexposed. LA Event Report: LA0800024 |
