Title	Agreement State Report - Radiography Device Source Disconnected
Event Description	The following information was received by email: On October 18, 2012, the Agency [State of Texas Radiation Branch] received a request from an exposure device manufacturer for reciprocity to retrieve a . . . cobalt 60 source into a Spec 300 radiography device. The Agency contacted the Texas licensee and was told that the source had been retracted and that no reportable event had occurred. The licensee stated it needed assistance in disconnecting the drive cable from the source pig tail. On October 23, 2012, the Agency was informed by the manufacturer that the dose rates measured at the front of the exposure device indicated that the source may not be in the fully shielded position. On October 30, 2012, the Agency was informed by the manufacturer that the source was stuck inside the device approximately three inches from the locked and fully shielded position. The licensee has not reported this event to the Agency. The Agency will conduct an on-site investigation at the licensee's facility on November 1, 2012. There does not appear to have been any exposures to members of the general public. There were no overexposures to employees of the manufacturer. Exposures to the licensee's employees have not been determined. The investigation into this event is ongoing. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA 300. Texas Incident: I-9000
