Title	Mississippi Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Stuck Source
Event Description	The following information was obtained from the state of Mississippi via email: DRH [Mississippi Department of Radiation Health] was notified on 8/27/2012 by Licensee's RSO regarding a stuck source incident that occurred on 8/24/2012 while performing industrial radiography at a temporary job site in Mississippi. The RSO claims the camera (880D) fell onto the guide tube during one of the shots and crimped the guide tube preventing the source from retracting back into the camera. The RSO suspects the technician may have pulled on the cranks while trying to crank back in the source after the shot. This could have then caused the camera to fall onto the guide tube and crimp it. The restricted area boundary was readjusted to one (1) mR/hr, maintained, and the RSO was called by the radiographers at the job site. An ARSO and technician from the company who are trained in source retrieval arrived at the job site and retrieved the source. The camera was wiped and leak tests were submitted for analysis. The Licensee's ARSO received 82 mR and the technician received 8 mR/hr from actions taken during the source retrieval. MS Report Number: MS 120003 * * UPDATE AT 1558 EDT ON 09/10/12 FROM JAYSON MOAK TO S. SANDIN * * * The following update was received from the State of Mississippi via email: Test for leakage and/or contamination received from the Licensee was less than .005 microCuries. Notified R4DO (Lantz) and FSME via email.
