Title	Agreement State Report - Cable Disconnect on Radiography Camera
Event Description	The following report was received from the State of Texas via email: The licensee called [Texas Department of Health] to report that a disconnect occurred due to a broken drive cable. The SPEC-150 radiography device contained a 28 curie iridium-192 source. The cable broke near the ball stop on the crank out connector. The source remained in the source guide tube. The radiography crew called the incident in and waited for an authorized person to retrieve the source. The source was retrieved with minimal exposure. Incident doses were based on pocket dosimeter readings. The radiographer received 15 mrem and the trainee received 2 mrem. The radiographer retrieving the source received 25 mrem and his assistant received 9 mrem. It is believed that the cable failed due to metal fatigue. The individual providing the report did not know when the cable was last tested. Texas Incident #: I-9180
