Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Radiography Camera Source
Event Description	The following information was received via email: Event Location: Flint Hills Resources LP, 2825 Suntide Road, Corpus Christi, Texas 78403. On May 24, 2011, the agency [State of Texas] was notified by a licensee that they were unable to retract a 27.7 Curie iridium (Ir) - 192 radiography source into a QSA Delta 880 camera at a field site. The licensee stated that when setting up for a shot, the radiographer ran the crank cables for the camera over a hot pipe. The licensee stated that while conducting a shot, the plastic on the crank cable shield melted. The licensee believes that this may have prevented the radiographer from retracting the source to the fully shielded position. The licensee's source recovery team went to the location and was able to return the source to the fully shielded position. The camera was taken to the licensee's facility for inspection. No one involved in the source recover exceeded any regulatory limits. The investigation into this event is on going. Additional information will be provided as it is received. Texas Incident number: I - 8856
