| Title | Agreement State Report - Fire in Portable Darkroom |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the state via email:
On 4/12/2011, at 10:35AM the corporate RSO for TEAM Industrial Services informed the PA DEP Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) of a temporary job site fire which occurred earlier in the day. This event type is 'An unplanned fire... damaging any licensed material or any device, container, or equipment containing licensed material' which is reportable under 10CFR30.50(b)(4). A fire occurred in the portable darkroom which was housed within the bed of a pickup truck at the job site. A QSA Model 880 Delta radiographic exposure device containing approximately 75 curies of Iridium-192 (Ir-192) was stored in its metal over-pack inside the darkroom. The metal over-pack sustained significant fire damage, however, the radiographic exposure device was undamaged with the exception of a melted plastic handle. Surveys revealed radiation levels to be in the normal range and consistent for the source being in the locked position. It appears that the Ir-192 source was undamaged by the fire, however, the housing and source will be returned to the manufacturer for examination. Early indications are that an electrical problem started the fire. An immediate reactive inspection occurred on 4/12/11. BRP responded, examined the damaged truck and confirmed radiation surveys and measurements taken by the licensee. The camera was taken out of service and will be returned to QSA for inspection once a suitable shipping container is received. Further details [from the State] will be reported as received.
