Title	Agreement State Report - Difficulty Retracting Gamma Source
Event Description	The following excerpted information was received via facsimile: Notifications: A letter dated June 6, 2009 was received by DEP [Department of Environmental Protection] on June 15, 2009 that described the incident. Radiography crew was performing their 7th exposure at a location within the FCC Scrubber Unit (PV-7923). Upon completion of the exposure time (2 minutes), the crew attempted to retract the gamma source to its shielded / safe position. It was during the retraction sequence that the crew had difficulty returning the source to the shielded position. Both individuals made several attempts to retract the source. The crew re-established the posted radiation boundary to where the radiation levels were at or below regulatory limits for this situation (2 mR/hr), and implemented their source recovery procedures.
