| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Source Failed to Retract |
| Event Description | The following was received from the State of Mississippi via email:
Licensee's RSO contacted DRH (Division of Radiation Health) by telephone on December 11, 2012 to inform the department that a source retrieval was done earlier that morning on exposure device S/N D2652 source S/N 88902B. This was due to a unsecured exposure device falling to the ground from a valve assembly handle it was place on while performing an exposure. When the radiographer tried to crank the source back into the exposure device he noticed a crimp in the guide tube close to the camera. The radiographer then cranked the source back out to the collimator to provide more shielding and then contacted the RSO for source retrieval. The RSO performed the source retrieval within two hours of being called. The RSO received a dose of 32 mR for the retrieval. Mississippi Report #: MS-12006 |
