Title	Agreement State Report - Difficulty Retrieiving Radiography Source
Event Description	The following report was received via email: On 6/19/09 at approximately 11:30 a.m., the licensee was unable to retract an industrial radiography source. [The] cause was due to a magnetic positioning device used during operations which fell onto the guide tube, crimping the tube and preventing the source to be retracted to the fully shielded position. [The] device was a QSA Model 660, S/N B2692, with a 91 Curie Ir-192 source, QSA S/N 53932B. No over exposure to personnel or [the] public was reported. [The] source was retrieved into [the] camera by trained personnel within approximately 1/2 hour. [The] licensee revised procedures and conducted refresher training to help prevent similar accidents in the future. ODH [Ohio Department of Health] conducted [an] inspection of [the] job site on 7/1/09. [The] licensee provided [a] written report within [the] 30-day required timeframe. [The] licensee originally thought that this event required a 30-day notice. [The] licensee has been instructed as to the need for 24-hour notification for these events. Ohio report number: OH090007
