| Title | Failure to Retract Radiography Source to Shielded Position |
| Event Description | The licensee was performing radiography at the South Timbalier 55 site in the Gulf of Mexico, under an NRC license, when the source failed to retract to the shielded position. They were using a SPEC-150 camera (serial #860) with a 58 Ci Ir-192 source (serial #RC1106).
The RSO went to the site and retrieved the source. During the retrieval, there were no overexposures to personnel. The camera was returned to the manufacturer who determined that the pig tail connector failed. The device was repaired by the manufacturer and returned to service. |
