Title	Radiography Camera Source Failed to Retract Due to Damaged Guide Tube
Event Description	A radiography crew working at the Marathon Refinery in Detroit, MI experienced a failure of the source to retract on their QSA-880-D radiography camera due to the source binding in the guide tube. While the source was out, the radiography camera fell approximately 18 inches from the scaffolding and landed on the guide tube end. The personnel cordoned off the area and called for assistance. The site supervisor was able to fully retract the source into the shielded position. The radiography camera was removed from service and is being sent to the manufacturer for evaluation. Based on dosimetry readings, exposure levels were not above normal readings. The highest badge reading resulted in 54 mrem.
