Title	Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Source Disconnect
Event Description	The following report was received from the State of Texas Radiation Branch via facsimile: On October 17, 2012, the Agency [Texas Radiation Branch] was notified by the licensee that on October 16, 2012, a radiography source had disconnected from the drive cable during radiography at a field location. The radiographers were using a SPEC 150 exposure device [redacted]. The radiographers had completed an exposure and as they were surveying the exposure device, the radiographer noted that the dose rates at the front of the device were higher than expected. The radiographers contacted their Radiation Safety Officer. A source recovery team was sent to the location and the source was recovered without incident. The licensee read the Instadose dosimeters for the individuals involved in the event and no over exposures occurred. No additional exposure to a member of the general public occurred due to this event. The licensee was not able to determine the cause for the disconnect. The exposure device and the crank-out device the radiographers were using are being sent to the manufacturer for inspection. Texas Incident #: I-8994
