Title	Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Was Lost and Recovered
Event Description	A radiographer working for High Mountain Inspection was conducting radiography on a pipeline near De Beque, CO. The radiographer failed to secure the camera in his pickup truck when he drove off to the next location. Arriving at his destination the radiographer realized his camera was missing and retraced his steps. The radiography camera with a 26 Curie, Ir-192 source was not located. At 1826 EDT the State of Colorado called and said a member of the public had found the missing camera and called the licensee. The licensee is now in possession of the radiography camera and the source has not been tampered with. The camera is a SPEC, s/n 150. The source s/n is SJ0702. THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 2" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.
