| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera with Stuck Source |
| Event Description | The following Ohio Bureau of Radiation Protection report was received via facsimile:
The [Ohio] Bureau of Radiation Protection [BRP] was notified by the licensee's corporate RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] at 1505 [EDT] on 3/21/2014, about an incident involving a stuck radiography source. The incident took place at 0430 on 3/21/2014. Crew members were performing radiography in a boiler penthouse in Aberdeen, Ohio, when a magnetic stand fell over and crimped the source guide tube while the source was still out. Crew members called the RSO at their Woodlawn, Ohio [location], who instructed them to survey and post the area and control access until he arrived. The Woodlawn RSO arrived at the site around 0900, shielded the source and was able to bend the guide tube so the source could be retracted back into the camera. The source was safely [positioned] back into the camera around 0945 on 3/21/14. Because licensee personnel wear Instadose dosimetry badges by Mirion Technologies, the Woodlawn RSO was able to determine that the exposure he received from this source retrieval activity was 159 mRem. The licensee understands they are responsible to provide a written report to the BRP within 30 days. The radiography device is a QSA 880 Delta camera with a 27 Ci Ir192 source. Ohio State BRP Incident Report: #2014-006. |
