Title	Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Source Fails to Retract
Event Description	On September 16, 2013, the Agency [Texas Department of Health] received notification from the licensee that on September 12, 2013, one of its radiography crews working at a temporary work site in Tilden, Texas, had been unable to retract an Iridium-192 source back into its SPEC 150 exposure device. After several attempts, the connector on the end of the cable came off which allowed the cable to come all the way through the device and left the source inside the guide tube. Source retrieval was performed by authorized person who received 120 millirem, an assistant who received 55 millirem, the radiographer trainer who also assisted received 100 millirem (including the day's work) and the radiographer trainee who received 32 millirem (including the day's work). The licensee will have the crank assembly, cable, and connector evaluated. No member of the public received any radiation exposure as a result of this event. An investigation into this event is ongoing. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300. Texas State Report # I-9113
