Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Radiography Camera Source
Event Description	On May 10, 2011, the Agency [Texas Department of Health] was notified by a licensee that while conducting radiography operations at a temporary job site, a pipe fell on the guide tube of a QSA Model 880D camera. The pipe damaged the guide tube preventing the radiographer from retracting the 34.1 curie Iridium (Ir) -192 source into the camera. The radiographer contacted his supervisor and a source recovery team was sent to the location. The recovery team was able to repair the guide tube enough to retract the source into the camera. The camera was returned to the licensee's facility for inspection. There was no exposure to a member of the general public and the highest exposure to a member of the recovery team was 28 millirem for the event. The investigation into this event is ongoing. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident No. I-8844
